5.5 Friends on Summer Vacation
1 Volume (Complete)






The story is definitely not cut out for skimming. What I love about Kusama Sakae ss is that she's brilliant with her storylines and characters, also the troupes and cliches that I'm fed up with in many other stories never occur in her books.
I <3 Ibu-sensei and Okitsu 😍
they're main characters in this book, not Yuuto & Shirou in the first 2 chapters An Unseeable Friend
I stuck with this and firstly: I hope that the translators make a better effort next time because it's oddly confusing. This may just be biased and completely mistaken but I know my tastes and by the end of this I was confused not just by how vaguely it's been translated, but by the manga itself. Because honestly I feel like the author who wrote Yume Miru Seiza, Dog's Subway, and Irome either never existed or has mellowed out 9800% because this style and this plot come together to make something so incredibly innacurate, overly-sugarcoating, fetishizing, and gleefully expropriative towards those of us who are or have had to cope with having a disconnect with reality: but the manga gets to have its cake and eat it too because It's just supposed to be soft porn, right? Listen. I can't tell people what to do but in my own eyes I would recommend a quick skim....a very quick skim...--if you absolutely had to. But if anything, why don't you consider this: watch an indie anime OVA or Spirited Away whilst smoking or chugging Robitussin and have done with it lmao.
It is quite an honour to have come across such a wonderful story. It really is. It is one of those wonderful master pieces that make you wish to translate it, adapt it in to prose, animation, and especially a live-action, because it is conducive to being adapted to one, and spread it all over the world for the people to read.
The stories intertwin seamlessly, which adds even more weight to already well-rounded and strongly developed characters. The pacing and the dialogues initially might seem a bit non-sensical, but that’s because we have been thrown into the midst of these people’s lives without any omnipotent narrator to makes sense for us. We make sense of the story as the characters make sense of it, thus farther drawing us into the minds of the characters. Notice the bare minimum use of monologues within the manga. Furthermore, monologues are quickly converted into dialogues as other characters break into conversation, which then creats this sense of being disoriented that all of our characters are work under.
Lastly, the artwork is supremely fitting for this kind of storytelling. It goes a long way in creating just the right kind of atmosphere – a dull, dark, foreboding, and alluring one – where we know not what twist this manga is going to take next.
I will however say that there was one thing that bothered me immensely, and is a major flaw in this otherwise brilliant masterpiece, is the job that Okitsu does: how is he fine with that job when he gets dizzy with simply passing throw narrow hallways?
I really like this mangaka and the fact she's not afraid of using unusual ideas in her works. You know how hard it is to come up with a fresh idea in yaoi world, so the more I appreciate the efforts.
This time plot is set up over psychiatry and people with various kinds of mental problems. It's very well done, without hardcore sex scenes, cliches or unbearable load of drama. And the thread about child abduction! so entertaining. Characters are likeable, soft-hearted and real life like. Their mental issues make them even more interesting and at times amusing. Certain accident from the past was the turning point in their lives, the reason for choosing career path and also the beginning of a beautiful friendship and a love story.
It's a crime story with fast action, there's enough background and character development. The art is pretty, much better than on the cover. Sex scenes were erotic, soft and hot at the same time. If only the storytelling wasn't so messed up... I'd give it a ten. Unfortunately the storytelling is messy. They jump from one topic to another and you get confused, so you have to look back and reread some parts to understand what's going on. Sometimes they blurt out sth important out of nowhere (maybe it's a translation issue? through there's no problem in second part of the story). I have to admit it was a pain, but even with imperfections it's not an average work. There's a room to improve so I hope sensei will work on it and bring us new wonderful stories.
It was fun to read it and discover the truth. It's memorable so if you're looking for sth not ordinary just give it a try.
I love the questionable blend of reality with questionable psychological states of mind. It makes for a compelling story with interesting fantastical elements. I really liked all the characters, especially Ibu-sensei. I'm happy they all found their piece of happiness. The second story was pretty sexy as well. I'm glad it briefly touched on how the sexual lives of people are impacted when there's a debilitating mental illness involved, even if it was light-hearted.
My one large complaint about this manga is the....language? I don't know if it was a translating issue, or if the mangaka was high or something when writing this manga, but the story was incredibly hard to follow until the end of each arc. When it all came together in the end I was like "...ohhhhhhh, this is how it happened, now it makes sense." I really didn't like being all like ?? during the course of the story, however. It reduced my enjoyment of the story a lot. Sentences were very unclear and didn't have an idea of what characters were talking about half the time. It didn't help that the first story was told out of sequence, so it took a lot to piece everything together in the end.
In the end, I loved the premise and the resulting story. I'll look for more from this mangaka and hopefully the weird language was a one-off thing.
