So sweet💕I love gay mangas

[Peppa · Rating 5 out of 5]

I might have actually ended up crying a bit🥹!!

The historical setting added such a heavy, beautiful atmosphere and I really appreciated how it didn’t shy away from tough topics: war, grief, homophobia and the emotional weight of falling for someone who was once considered “the enemy.” Even though it’s short, the pacing felt natural and the character work was really solid. I honestly wouldn’t have minded an extra volume just to spend more time with them.

Jim was such a green flag from the moment he appeared. There’s this quiet patience in how he handles Sei, never pushing, just waiting until Sei feels ready, especially with how much internal conflict Sei is dealing with, being straight before and slowly coming to terms with everything he’s feeling.

And Sei… I really loved him!! The way he’s honest about his reactions, even when things are new and uncertain, made him feel so real to me. There’s something very tender about watching a character open up like that without losing who they are at their core.

The art is beautiful, the emotions feel raw without being overdone, and I liked that the characters aren’t “changed” by the story, they’re just revealed layer by layer. For a story this short, it leaves a surprisingly deep impression and I will definitely keep this one in my heart ❤️‍🩹

No. No me ha gustado y me ha parecido mal por parte del protagonista de usar al soldado de buenas de primeras. Yo estas cosas las odio con todo mi ser. Jugar con los sentimientos de alguien debería estar penado por ley.

Oh, well. I was really excited for this one because of its unique setting. But alas, everything felt kind of rushed and underdeveloped. The conflict felt a little bit fabricated because of that, and the characters' feelings of guilt were largely left unexplored. This could've been so good if there'd been multiple volumes!

Der Manga spielt kurz nach dem Ende des 2ten Weltkrieges, als die USA Militärstützpunkte in Japan unterhält, bis die beiden Nationen einen Friedensvertrag schließen. Dabei bandeln ein junger Japaner und einer der Amerikaner an, was sich zu einer Liebesgeschichte entwickelt.

Eigentlich klang das wirklich super - gerade das Thema Krieg/Nachkriegszeit für sowas ist immer spannend, weil es super viel Potential für Story und Drama bietet. Diese (Schwulenhass, Anti-Amerikaner-Haltung, Anti-Japaner-Haltung, Nachkriegsprobleme) werden auch angeschnitten, aber da es sich hier um einen Oneshot handelt, werden diese eigentlich unfassbar schnell abgehandelt :/ sodass eigentlich gar kein ... Gefühl oder irgendwas aufkommt. Dazu sind beide Charaktere extrem oberflächlich, was super schade ist, da Sei nämlich darüber nachdenkt, wieso er einen Amerikaner interessant findet, wo diese doch ihre Leute abgeschlachtet haben etc.

Daher war es ein netter Zeitvertreib, aber leider auch wieder nichts besonderes :/ ich hätte gehofft, dass die Thematiken, die mit einer Besatzung einhergehen, vorallem gerade nach dem 2. Weltkrieg, mehr benutzt werden um realistisches Drama zu machen. Aber ... ja, es ist eigentlich nur eine schwache Lovestory in einem Kriegsetting. Ohne das Setting wäre es wie jeder andere 0815 BL-Manga.

Der Sex ist immerhin unzensiert, yay.

Me he enamorado de esta historia y no pensé que me llegaría tan hondo. Ha sido maravillosa. Matsumoto ha sabido hacer una historia de amor en una época muy complicada de la historia de Japón del siglo XX: la ocupación estadounidense del país después de que Japón fuera derrotado en la Guerra del Pacífico. En pleno año 50, Sei conoce a Jim, un soldado estadounidense al que le gustan los hombres y ha quedado fascinado por él. Queriéndose aprovechar de esta oportunidad, Sei planea seducirlo para conseguir huir de su vida, una que odia desde que quedó traumatizado por la muerte de su amigo.

Good plot, but too fast paced. Wish it developed a little slower and had more chapters or another volume to help with slowing the pace

[Lee · Rating 3 out of 5]

One thing that continually upsets me about a lot of gay manga I’ve discovered is that it is too short–I Can’t Get Through the Night Alone falls into this trap.

I’m going to start with the positives about this.

The historical setting. This has been something I’ve been wanting to explore in my reading more, so finding this was truly a wonderful find. I love exploration of and American solider and a Japanese man slowly falling in love during a time when the tension between the two was high.

Those factors weren’t ignored either. It was discussed how people weren’t happy about the Americans still being there after the war and American soldiers pursing relationship with the Japanese. These discussions, even if they were short, really did make it feel more accurate.

I did enjoy the slow discovery of sexuality. The slow burn of realizing and just accepting it. Though, this is also something I think could have really been great if it was explored more.

The major negative about this is that it did need to be longer. There was so much that really needed to be expanded upon to help flesh Sei and Jim out while also helping the pacing.

There are so many factors in Sei’s life (his time at war and the trauma resulting from that as well as his sexuality), that needed time to properly be fleshed out and explored. The strained relationship with his family another factor. Then Jim largely remained more of a mystery. Their relationship alone had so many questions as well that were never really explored on.

Despite everything, I really did enjoy this. There was this endearing quality to it, paired with this small bit of hope. It was a nice read that I do look at fondly.

3.5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is a very sweet manga about an American soldier and an ex Japanese soldier who meet in post-WWII Japan. Seishiro suffers with insomnia due to witnessing his best friend (ex lover?) die in the war, whilst Jim is a closeted homosexual struggling to come to terms with his own identity in the face of banned acts of homosexuality in the time period.

The plot was a little anticlimactic and not much really happened besides the two central characters getting together. We don't know much about any of the other characters who aren't even given any names apart from the dead lover. If you're looking for a plot based narrative, this probably isn't for you as it's very character focused.

There is a LOT of sex and full frontal, graphic nudity of male genitalia so just be aware. Also, if you're someone who hates waiting for the next volume of a manga, fear not! This story is a standalone and can be read in a couple of hours so you do not have to wait for the arrival of another volume.

Overall, this is a lighthearted story about two men falling in love in a time of political hardship, with not much plot but enough to see the beauty of a developing relationship.

Hoy estuve todo el día sin luz, y eso me jugó a favor, porque por fin me senté de una vez y me puse a leer este querido manga que me miraba todos los días desde la biblioteca cada vez que me levantaba, recordándome que otro día había pasado sin leerlo xd. Me sorprendió lo mucho que disfruté esta historia. Es compleja y sencilla en partes iguales: lo simple que es el amor, pero lo complejo que se vuelve cuando la sociedad y sus limitaciones parecen querer impedir que dos personas se quieran libremente. El dibujo es espectacular y el diseño de los personajes me encantó. La única crítica que tengo es hacia la traducción de Kemuri, porque por momentos usaba español argentino y por otros, español neutro, y era tipo… ¿¿?? sjsjsj elegí uno, hermano. Pero salvo eso, se me pasó volando.

3.75 An american solider and a Japanese former military person fall in love in post war japan. It deals with homophobia, the hardships they will face as a biracial gay couple. I liked the art a lot. All consensual. I just don't think it hit the emotional mark about PTSD or the feeling of loneliness that hiding your sexuality brings. But I liked the different historical setting.

[Bucletina · Rating 4 out of 5]

Las ediciones de Arechi son preciosas. Además, me gusta el enfoque que le dan a su catálogo de mangas, publicando cosas que nadie más haría. Esta historia en particular es preciosa, sobre la guerra, sus consecuencias y esos amores que parecen superar los límites de su tiempo.

Sei is haunted by his past and struggles to be alone through the night. He sees an opportunity to escape his life by using Jim, an American soldier. But he ends up cherishing the nights spent next to him and has to face what that means for his future.

I thought this was a pretty well rounded one shot! I only wish we got to see a little bit more of Sei's past to understand him just a little better. But, I really enjoyed it and quite liked the characters. They were both very cute with one another.

[Ostana · Rating 3 out of 5]

Overall, a short romance that was enjoyable. I really liked the historical setting it was based on. It was a short story, which unfortunately means that the romance was rushed a bit. However, it did a fairly good job despite that.

Basically, Sei is an ex-Japanese soldier that can't sleep at night. When he meet an American Soldier (Jim) who is interested in him, Sei decides to use Jim to leave his hardships behind for a better life in America. He's very selfish.

Jim knows Sei's intentions are selfish, but he's so desperate for love and connection (he has no family left) that he's willing to let Sei use him in the hope that Sei will actually fall in love with him. Of course, he does!

Jim is a good man, and I'm glad Sei sees that later.

My biggest gripe with the story is that Jim never comforts Sei after a nightmare. That's what I was hoping to see, some hurt/comfort after a nightmare. But nope! Sei only has his nightmares alone. Very disappointed about that. However, it's a nice happy ending.

[Zian B. · Rating 3 out of 5]

More of a 3.5 star rating;
As good as this story was, I wish there was another volume to expand on the relationship a bit and, to show the complexities of both Jim and Seishiro’s experiences as homosexuals in setting of this manga. I feel like things were a bit rushed and some more explaining, or even a moment to breathe so to speak, would’ve made this good story into a great one.

[K · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was really lovely, and such an interesting story.

It's set in the same post WW2 time period as The Flower That Seems to Truly Dance , although the devastation isn't shown as much here. Sei is a Japanese soldier who watched his best friend (I think?) die in a cave with him. His family didn't understand or accept his trauma (which they consider weakness) - he hasn't been able to sleep at night since then, going into unexplainable panic when he's alone in the dark.

As a result, I suppose, he winds up working the nightlife, leaving behind his family's still successful textile business to serve drinks at a bar that caters to the American servicemen stationed in Japan during the postwar occupation. It's not a great life, but it's all he has, for now.

And it's...an interesting way of living. Sei, unlike his father, isn't all that deeply patriotic. He's been badly scarred by the loss of his friend, and others he's known and cared about, like one of his brothers who'd also died in battle, but he doesn't entirely hate the Americans who did it all. Working in such close quarters with them lets him see them as a collection of flawed but not entirely terrible humans, just like him...but typically a lot burlier and kind of rowdy.

Which isn't to say he totally agrees with the actions of the women working in these kinds of clubs, who either fall in love with the Americans or just use physical contact to pull themselves into a more profitable future. Use what you've got and make the most of your circumstances, right? Even if it means sleeping with the literal enemy.

But when a handsome, kind American soldier named Jim shows interest in him, Sei decides he has nothing to lose. He might as well do what the women are - like them, he can use this big, generous, warm-hearted American to get out of his country and make a new life for himself.

One of the most interesting parts is that Jim understood Sei's motivations the entire time. He's a closeted gay man who's attracted to Sei; he's not stupid. He's also not in love with Sei right from the start, either - all he knows is that he's handsome and seems sad, and he wants to get to know him. So they start spending more and more time together, with Sei trying to push his agenda to get Jim more attached, and Jim gently resisting his advances because he wants things to progress only when their feelings do.

As a one-shot, it's a little bit fast-paced, but also feels natural. Sometimes, especially in situations like this, emotions and relationships do progress quickly. There were a fair amount of wartime, cross-cultural romances, some of which lasted and some of which didn't. And Sei and Jim have a different level to their bond - even though they were on opposite sides of the conflict, Jim understands Sei's fear and trauma and guilt and sleeplessness in a way most other people can't. It's the first time anyone's told Sei that it's okay, that it's natural to feel the way he does. And that he's not alone.

Sei's confrontation with his father, who literally beats him for his association with the enemy, isn't too surprising - nor is Jim's decision to back away and cut off ties to make things easier. Jim doesn't have any family of his own left to disappoint, but he doesn't want to be responsible for destroying any last shreds of Sei's. Especially when Sei was already crying and promising to never see him again.

Oddly, this whole story kind of leans a little too pro-American...while there is one aggressive soldier in a bar, and one who calls Sei a slur, Sei tends to excuse a lot of their actions. He's inordinately upset over how much he hurt Jim - and yeah, it wasn't Jim's fault that Sei's father was hitting him, but it wasn't Sei's fault, either. It was nice that he eventually told his mother the truth (during marriage negotiation talks) and made the decision to pursue what he wanted. Which, ultimately, separates him from his family and his country, probably forever. I don't know if he would be staying in touch with them once he left...it doesn't seem like his father would've been open to that.

The happy ending was a good surprise, because this really seemed like it could've ended on a realistic, deeply bittersweet note. It might've been a depressed but beautiful five stars in that case, honestly. I'll take the four stars for the sun on the horizon and the life they'll be building together in America.

With Sei living with Jim as his "hired help" because WW2-era America wasn't particularly okay with homosexuality, either. That part is what's lacking, I guess...it could've used a bonus story of them a couple decades into the future, seeing how they were able to build a new life together with so many cultural divisions threatening to pull them apart. I also wonder how common this type of thing was...and how many couples had to live their entire lives as "friends" or something even less than that, just so the world wouldn't judge them.

A lovely story that isn't entirely perfect, but which was very fascinating, with excellent characters and a relationship that felt very warm and healing.

"I'm pretty sure I died in that cave with Eichii and then Jim shined a light on this life again."

This was one of the best mangas I've ever had the pleasure of reading. It follows the story of an American soldier, James, who meets and falls for waiter Seishiro in 1950's Japan.

At this time, the war has just ended and American occupants have stationed in Japan. It's very historically accurate, depicting not only the outlooks on homosexuality of this time and era but also colonisation, racism towards the Japanese and how many didn't like having the Americans living there after the war, as well as the controversy of the American soldiers pursuing relationships with the Japanese (as many saw this as a form of betrayal).

James is gay, but he's never told anyone about it let alone had a male love interest before. But then he meets Seishiro, who unlocks something in him. Even if both men have their own motives for approaching the other to begin with, they soon fall in love, and become inseparable. Not even Seishiro's parents can keep them apart, and soon, they find themselves moving to America together to live a full, happy life as partners, not caring what the world thinks of them.

The art style in this was so incredibly beautiful. It honestly felt like magic to look at and suited the story so well. The entire story felt so poetic and was filled with healthy romance, steam and lots of fluff. It was so emotional witnessing their love story unfold and I feared for the worst when Seishiro's parents found them out and beat him, but I was so happy knowing they made it out safe and I hope they got to live a long, happy life together back in America. Given they now have a whole house to themselves and Seishiro can live there under the guise of being James hired hand, I'm sure they did.

I just adore historical mangas like this, especially those who give a HEA. I'm sure this was the story for many young homosexual men back then. Even if times were different, it was never impossible, and I feel like this truly portrayed what it's like to overcome those obstacles and keep being yourself and loving who you love. Both Seishiro and James were such adorable characters on top of that, with James being such a softie and Seishiro being kind and a little bold. They deserved their happy ending.

Overall, this was just magnificent. I enjoyed every second of it and I wish there was more! I would have loved to see how their story continued in America. An absolutely 5 star read for me, and an all time favourite.

This was an interesting historical fiction BL graphic novel set in a period I at least haven't seen touched on all that much, outside at least the Josei "Descending Stories" or the BL visual novel "Hashihime of the Old Book Town". I love the concept! I think the summary (and at least the English title) frames the narrative in a different way than it generally works out, but the story was overall enjoyable.

The plot is ostensibly about a former Japanese soldier who can't sleep at night due to trauma and who works at an American bar in Japan, who seems to be using an American soldier and part of the occupation in Japan as a way to sleep, and while that is an ongoing issue for at least 1/3 of the story, the rest of the narrative is mostly about the difficulties of surviving in post-World War II Japan (and the issues of a living in a homophobic society). And Sei doesn't really use Jim to sleep: he uses Jim as a distraction and a potential means to leave Japan. In fact, much of their relationship is about Sei pointing out he doesn't plan to spend his time with Jim sleeping. I admit I'm not a historian, particularly about this period in history, let alone the Japanese part of it, but I think the story is far more interesting as a historical piece than as something dealing with a soldier's PTSD. You can view the way Sei acts around his family as an outreach of that, and that's fine, it's just emphasized far more than him using Jim for the purported purpose of being able to sleep.

That's not to say the relationship between Jim and Sei isn't good. It's nice, even though the art isn't always the best, the sex isn't all that interesting (which is more subjective, really: I'm just not into frotting), the dialogue is a bit stilted, and the plot kind of seems too jumpy. There's an endearing aspect to their relationship, and an important note of hope. The story also captures the real desperation of their circumstances, at least tone-wise. People really did what they could to get through the days.

This is more of a 3.5 star than a 4, but if you're looking for historical fiction BL, and particularly like World War II fiction, this might be for you. If you're looking for somewhat better written ostensibly BL in this time period, "Descending Stories" is far better written (it's just not BL).

"Las pesadillas me invaden por las noches. ¿Qué hubiera pasado si hubiese actuado? ¿Si el miedo no me hubiera paralizado? La culpa es de los estadounidenses, y me vengaré aprovechándome de ellos."

Un manga cuya premisa da visibilidad al bando perdedor en una contienda, puede dar lugar a una trama bastante dramática, tanto por las consecuencias en sí como por el pensamiento que queda en los ciudadanos perdedores.

Sin embargo, aunque esta obra sí que muestra dichas consecuencias, tiene el enfoque más centrado en crear una armonía entre los dos bandos, el perdedor y el ganador. Y es que, a pesar del conflicto, en ambos lados hay buenos y malos, todos son personas con ambiciones, dolores y con ganas de sanar sus corazones rotos.

Aunque esto no quiere decir que el odio no esté instalado, arraigado en lo más profundo, impidiendo dicha sanación. Aunque solo el tiempo y la aceptación del prójimo y de uno mismo es capaz de curar la más grande de las pesadillas.

La relación que se da surge inesperadamente, surgida del interés de uno y la inocencia del oteo, pero de forma muy natural se va desarrollando hasta llegar a la verdad, al apoyo y el entendimiento mutuo. Aparte, los personajes tienen sus propios dramas, y ambos están dispuestos a enfrentarlos con tal de ser mejores, tanto para ellos mismos como para su compañero.

Una obra bastante disfrutable, con una historia y premisa interesantes y un romance que poco a poco va creciendo. Aunque me hubiese gustado que tirara más por el drama, que mostrara los horrorres y todo lo que puede sufrir un bando perdedor, aunque este enfoque no está nada mal tampoco.

[Tara · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved this story. I love the historical setting. I love the art style. I love that it was different.
Seishiro is at a place in his life where he is broken. He can't sleep. He's clearly depressed and doesn't know where to go from here. He is so desperate for change that he is willing to entertain the idea of being with a man for the first time to maybe get to America. The fact that being with a GI is still seen as sleeping with the enemy doesn't even matter to him.

Jim, an American soldier stationed in post-war Japan, knows he is gay and knows he is enamored by Seishiro's beauty. He understands that a relationship with "the enemy," especially a gay one, is risky. But despite knowing that Seishiro probably isn't all in the same way he is, he still wants to be with him. He even tells him that when his feelings become real, he will sleep with him. But he obviously doesn't want to push himself on an unsure Seishiro.
The conflict from Seishiro's family and Jim having to worry about how being seen with a Japanese man would be viewed by his fellow soldiers are both present. But I almost feel like this could have been a whole series. I'm not big on angst, so it being a one-shot was fine by me. But honestly, I was so invested in this couple and their struggles that I would have read a couple of volumes. At least a sequel would have been welcomed. But none of that detracts me from recommending it. Look at how they kiss! Swoon! It's a beautiful story about a different couple, in a different time, and I really appreciated it.

The moment I opened this and saw "1950", I immediately found myself pulled in. I have so much to say about how delightful this single volume was, and how it felt so raw and emotional at times. Sadly I'm at a loss for half my words as I'm writing this.

I love the picture that was painted, knowing well about how things were portrayed back then. We have a mess of things going on between Japan and America, PTSD, american soldiers strutting around like tough guys (pft), and to add to everything on top of that we have the little cherry on top about homosexuality being an illness and all the hate that comes with it. So just reading and feeling how raw all of this was, it just... felt really easy to get behind the characters because of how real it all was back then.

Jim is a sweet lad who absolutely loves Japan and its rich culture, and even the bits of broken english they give him at times really add to this puppytop's charm. Meanwhile we have Seishiro who just wants to leave after hearing how green things are on the other side and does little to hide his ulterior motive.

While we thankfully have a happy ending, I think the only complaint I have is that it felt a bit rushed. But for how everything was wrapped up, I'm happy for the boys. If you're looking for something with a bit of an emotional dive into some historical or period reads, then please consider this.

[tortie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Now… is it problematic for a Japanese author to write bl where an American man is fetishizing Japanese men? Question for the culture. Question for the woke police. We can circle back to that at a later date maybe.

That being said, they frot twice in this book so this is instantly going into my favorites pile. Also a historical setting from the 20th century… yeah I need more of that please! Also a classic “gonna trick you into falling for me” turned “uh oh I’m developing these feelings I didn’t have before” trope is always gonna get me excited idk call me basic idc.

My biggest complaint is that there’s an entire chapter dedicated to Jim describing how he’s closeted and cannot come out in America because it’s illegal to be gay and that he would be killed… so why exactly does he want to take his new boyfriend back there exactly? I know they’re kinda being forced to leave but he can’t figure out a way to come back or stay? And why is Seishiro still so excited to be going to America, even after finding this out? A bit baffling to me, idk.

But yeah this is peak.

This takes place in Japan shortly after the war when soldiers are still stationed in Japan and the Japanese tend to either want nothing to do with them or see them as their ticket to another life if you are to believe the gossip from the ladies. Sei comes from a prominent family but has been traumatized by the war and wants another life. After meeting Jim, an America soldier who has taken a shine to him, he thinks perhaps there is another path for him. The two embark on a rather unusual life together while both fully aware that they are using each other along the way. It's not all smooth sailing, but it's a very realistic story to to how two men might come together but also remain hidden during the war and the stigma surrounding such relationships.
