I knew Our Dreams at Dusk: Shimanami Tasogare would be the series that got me back into manga as soon as I saw a cover image. The fourth volume features two women in wedding dresses, clearly getting married to each other. There were no pretenses; it wasn’t open to interpretation. This was a queer manga and I loved that the cover didn’t hide it. The post [Perspectives] Our Dreams at Dusk and the Process of Healing Through Found Families appeared first on ANIME FEMINIST.
