Shimanami Tasogare

Another Yuhki Kamatani work and therefore has a similar style and method of storytelling. This work includes LGBTQ+ characters and themes of growing into oneself. Shounen Note differs from Shimanami Tasogare in that LGBTQ+ issues are not the main plot point--the story focuses on a middle school choir. That being said, many characters face internal battles and struggle to understand themselves, just as in Shimanami Tasogare.

Hiraeth wa Tabiji no Hate
|
This work is by the same author (Yuhki Kamatani) so naturally, the art and style of storytelling is very similar. There are beautiful illustrations and spreads as well as a more abstract approach to expressing emotions. Hiraeth wa Tabiji no Hate also has all LGBTQ+ main characters, similar to Shimanami Tasogare. The main difference is that Hiraeth doesn't focus on LGBTQ+ issues as a plot point like Shimanami Tasogare; themes of death and grief are explored primarily.
