Didn't love either of these. Seaside Stranger drags for me and I don't love that both of the men are in their 20s but look like they're in their mid teens in the drawings. Tamon's B-Side was cute for several volumes but it's getting a little TOO dramatic and repetitive. Which is fine, it's just not for me.

Reviewing the whole series here because I think on a volume to volume basis, you can see the flaws in the storytelling (random jumps in time, somewhat choppy), but as a whole, it‘s a wonderful story of two guys with different forms of trauma trying to navigate life and a new relationship. It‘s sweet, hilarious at times, and tough at times. I really enjoyed Mio and Shun.
