I appreciate this more than I enjoyed this. It is trying to be something, something a little different to your typical 2 character manga. I'm not entirely sure it quite accomplishes it at a level where I could call it a good story.

Some stories can have quite unrealistic relationships, in terms of closeness, love at first sight, drop everything to be with this person you just met, unroot your life completely because of this dude, that can be quite overwhelming. This does the opposite, but veers too far in its own direction goes back to feeling too strange and frustrating. They want to be close, ...

(TLDR at the bottom)

Honest to God here, it's been a long while since I've read this manga. Whilst I remember the overall theme of it, I cannot quite examine this as I would do with other stories I've finished not long after relatively. I've simply been meaning to write something on this for a while. Forgive my incompetence. It is likely I will delete this review and re-read this story another time.

—————
Yoru to Umi is a drama about understanding one another, and the border that lies between two individuals.

When I first headed into Yoru to Umi, I didn't really pay heed to tags and thought ... it to be some girls' love story that hides in the manga medium. MAL tags aren't exactly the most reliable, but that's not the point right now. My speculation was proven wrong, what I received instead was a story of two girls trying to connect to each other closer more so in a way of friendship, rather than anything else.

Yoru to Umi follows a quiet Yano and strange Aya trying to connect with each other after a few first interactions. Their journey together is no straight line. It's bumpy, with the two having their fair shares of ups and downs all the while as their connection forges. They come across as quite human though, with both characters having their fair share of internal struggles, even those characters who don't play a major role fall into this category. It's nothing flamboyant and comes across as quite an honest feel. It didn't however push boundaries with these characters, and simply played it safe. In other words, it executes well but said core, concept and characters had no memorable quality to them for them to be perceived as top tier characters amongst the huge medium of manga. But for the most part, they are pretty good, and even their motifs are actually quite nice to think about.

The art of the manga is amazing. From character designs to aquatic double-page spreads, it was nothing to take lightly. Even after a long while, the cover jogs my memory with vague captivating pages of art that had my full attention. Everything was made with quality being the set goal in mind. There was nothing here that felt off with respect to design, neither did it have a cheated emptiness to it. It was just stunning.

TLDR: Good manga with strange characters having good attributes to them from realism to behaviour. Looks really nice too, as some aquatic stuff.

—————
But that's all I unfortunately have. It's a good story to spend time on if you have a few hours. It's one that is most powerful with its art but it allows for the substance to not be as weak as one would so believe it to be. In my time reading manga, this story is not entirely conventional, and to some extent may annoy users if you want to expect one thing from it. After all, it doesn't deliver in satisfying one particular element, but that is something you have to find out for yourself. It makes sense why such would not be delivered, however. Regardless, it is a nice niche story to spend time on and is pretty fast to read. I would recommend it to those looking for a hidden gem, perhaps. The hidden gem of the Night and Sea.

THIS IS NOT A GIRLS LOVE

There won't be any spoilers in this review :) I wasn't sure whether to give this a 3/10 or 9/10 score so here I go explaining what this series excels at and what it lacks.

Story:
The story is about 2 people in high school who try to understand each other and get along. So it's slice-of-life with a little drama to it.

Art:
Visually, this is absolutely gorgeous so although I gave it a low score, I'd still recommend reading it if you're looking for beautiful manga.
