I always think that this manga is more than just your ordinary Yaoi. Sure Umibe No Etranger is Yaoi but its sequel is more of family drama than just Yaoi. Its incorporate something that a lot of Yaoi ignore in pursuit of more focus on main couple which is existance of family and close friend of the couple. All side character of the series develop well enough to made them feel more as part of story then just a mere cameo. Its story focus still on Mio and Shun relationship but its also story of Shun parent and their relationship with their long lost eldest son. Its also story about Sakurako and how she feel after being left on altar by her fiance and also story of Wada and his relation with his former high school classmate. And this manga is also story about Fumi and how he feel to not being blood related to Hashimot family despite baring their name in his own. The next volume of the series seem even gonna put more focus on Fumi puberty stage. Harukaze No Etranger is definitely not just story of two men who love each other despite what society think. Its also story about people around them and how they effect their everday live. And Chapter 12 which is probably last of volume 2 is show us perfectly what this people mean to both Shun and Mio.

This was a very well written and executed manga at the reality of what it means to have feelings for a family member.

It doesn’t always work out for the best and it was necessary to remind people of this fact.

Although bittersweet I’m satisfied of the outcome of the brother and his boyfriend and I hope he has the courage to come out to his family soon because everyone deserves to be happy with their loved ones.
