Asahi is still not 'out' to his family/friends, but all the people that he meets in this round-the-world trip with Mitsuki have all see their obvious love for each other.
They travel to Brazil, Bolivia and Argentina on this trip. Asahi's younger brother and his girlfriend (who is half Japanese / half Brazilian) meet them on this trip. The coast in Brazil is great, followed by a visit to The Iguaco Falls, which have both a Brazil side and Argentina side.
Some more tears (by me) on some nice emotional moments.
I liked volumes 2 and 3 the best so far. This one is still good. I see volumes 5 and 6 exist but this is the last volume my local library has. I'll have to find/buy more volumes.
I'll say 4.25 * here.

✨Writing a grouped review for the volumes that are released and I have read at the time of writing (volumes 1-5). I read these months ago and do not remember the specifics of every volume outside the rating I gave them. ✨
Our not-so-lonely planet travel guide is a sweet and wholesome manga series following two lovers as they set off for a journey traveling the world.
I generally have a soft spot for queer stories, particularly queer graphic novels and manga but this didn't quite hit the same level as others I have read.
The general premise of the story is good but it gets rather repetitive really quickly.
I will most likely continue to read this tho as I want to see how their relationship continues to develop and their confidence shine.

When I saw this 4th volume was out I immediately ran to read it, and absolutely loved it as much as the first 3 volumes. This volume sees the boys travelling to Brazil, Argentina and Bolivia, and meet up with Asahi's younger brother.
This volume focuses a lot on Asahi's relationship with his brother, his relationship with Mitsuki, and how Asahi has changed as a person during this trip. It's a really lovely story and I cried twice while reading it.

These just get better! I'm hoping we get one more volume that sees them back in Japan and making a life together. This volume makes me think I'm going to have to buy this series in paperback.

This is one of my all time fav mangas now, great story and such travel inspiration!

January 2024 belated. I absolutely adore this Boys Love / MM romance series and whole-heartedly recommend it. A couple goes on a trip all over the world with plans to get married at the end somewhere it’s legal, and along the way they interact with a variety of cultures and people. They are adorable and I love them.
Away from home, they have the opportunity to make new friends as a couple without the possible ramifications of the loss of employment or family relationships they might experience at home, and experience being out as queer and as a couple in various cultures and places. They also have opportunities to experience others queerness and how it is treated in different cultures. These experiences serve as catalysts for growth and change in their relationship in different thoughtful ways.
Additionally, there is a genuine love and celebration of travel, various authentic cuisines, and architecture in the series that you get to sense and experience as they visit and admire places worldwide.
Definitely recommend! Available at Sac Library physically and on Hoopla digitally, but I love these ones so much I’ve bought them too!

Definitely one of my favorite BL series, probably even manga series in general. I even shed a couple tears in this volume. Sorato and Alicia are sweet characters and I’m so glad that they accepted Asahi and Mitsuki. Can’t wait for the next volume!

I gasped out loud when I saw in the summary that Asahi's brother would show up as a surprise in Brazil - and I gasped again when the foreshadowing started of Asahi losing the promise ring Mitsuki had given him near the start of their journey.
What an amazing installment, again.
The pacing is honestly so good; I know in Volume 2 I was impatient, wanting the Happy Ending to show up already, but I'm grateful now that the journey is a slow and careful one that's giving Asahi time to catch up with Mitsuki's feelings. Because the reality is, Asahi has always loved Mitsuki just as much as Mitsuki loves him...he just hasn't been able to love himself fully.
And with Mitsuki's steady companionship and the support of others along the way, he's finally learning to open up more and see himself more clearly through a different sort of lens. I don't know why travel has a way of doing that...there's certainly the element of just expanding your worldview more and experiencing more places, but even when I traveled with college classmates, spending much of my time with people from my own age and general background, my mind opened up a lot.
So I really get Asahi. He's nearly 30, which is a bit "late" on the side for some of this self-realization - much of mine came in my early 20s - but you take opportunities when they come to you, and Asahi is really making the most of his now. It's silly to say this about a fictional character, but I'm really proud of him.
Most of the volume this time focuses on Asahi and his brother, who says he's visiting Brazil with a half-Brazilian "friend" - who turns out to be a girlfriend he's been dating for around a year. I can't tell if she's been a secret from their parents, or if he just hadn't told Asahi, but there's a nice exchange where Mitsuki points out that Asahi can't exactly be upset about it when their own relationship is a secret.
Sorato had only kept it quiet because he knew Asahi would be awkward around her, and maybe try to get out of it, if he'd known in advance. Unlike his older brother, he doesn't have anything to hide about a relationship that's generally acceptable to the wider public.
The girlfriend, Alicia, is very sweet and outgoing and a lot like Mitsuki - which the brothers realize once the secrets finally start to come out. I loved the scene with Asahi sobbing in the restaurant because he'd lost his ring on the beach. I loved the flashbacks of little Asahi stubbornly refusing to quit looking for his little brother's lost keychain, because it was an important thing his friend had given to him. I even loved that when Asahi was brave enough to tell his brother the truth about the ring and about Mitsuki, it...wasn't easy acceptance.
It took effort, and a little time, for Sorato to wrap his mind around his brother being gay - for years! without ever telling him! - and for them to talk about it and confirm that Asahi's biggest fear, his brother hating him for something he can't change about himself, would never happen.
Mitsuki asks Asahi later what he would've done if Sorato hadn't come around on it and accepted him, which is a really good and painful question. Asahi takes a big step by telling Mitsuki that he wouldn't stop loving him no matter what...but his parents' approval is still a big looming issue. Even Sorato says that their mother isn't too likely to support him...but that he'll do his best to be there for his big brother from now on.
(I am confused by the "Kuuto" who texted Asahi and called him "bro" in the previous volume - was that a translation issue or something, or does Asahi have two brothers?)
Asahi gets altitude sickness in this volume, when they go to Bolivia, which leads to a phone conversation between his mother and Mitsuki. Asahi's mother knows, at least, that Mitsuki is a really good friend who does a lot to take care of her son. That won't make the "actually we're engaged" conversation much easier, but it's a start. And Asahi sending his mother a video of the two of them on the salt flats, laughing and being close with each other...that's a pretty big step, too.

Per risparmiare un pochino di spazio, ho deciso di recuperare questa serie in digitale. Però ci sono state un paio di scene in questo volume che mi hanno fatto rimpiangere di non avere tra le mani il formato cartaceo (la visita alle cascate e alla salina, in particolare). Diciamo che le tavole dedicate ai paesaggi meritano.
Comunque sia, i nostri due viaggiatori approdano nell'emisfero sud. Brasile, Argentina e Bolivia. Nuovi piatti da scoprire (e Asahi è sempre preparatissimo), nuove esperienze da fare.
Questo quarto volume ci regala un momento molto importante per il nostro Asahi, visto che in Brasile passerà del tempo con il fratello minore e con la fidanzata di quest'ultimo. Inizialmente, come d'abitudine, decide di tutelarsi, tenendo nascosta la sua relazione con Mitsuki. Ma quando teme di aver perso l'anello regalatogli dal fidanzato, qualcosa lo spinge a confessare tutto al fratello. Fratello che sulla botta rimane confuso, ma che poi si mostrerà entusiasta. Dopotutto, i giorni passati in Brasile gli permetteranno lati sconosciuti della personalità di Asahi e sente che adesso è il suo turno di mostrargli supporto e affetto incondizionati. Questa confessione rappresenta un passo avanti notevole per Asahi, che già non ama parlare della sua relazione con Mitsuki a livello generale, a maggior ragione è ancora più reticente con i familiari, di cui teme il giudizio e il rifiuto. Bravo!
Questa serie continua ad essere una delle mie preferite, una lettura piacevole che permette anche al lettore di partecipare al giro intorno al mondo di Asahi e Mitsuki, di conoscere nuove culture, nuove pietanze. Diciamo che ti fa venire voglia di prendere un aereo e partire. Peccato solo la lunga attesa tra un volume e l'altro, ma non si può avere tutto dalla vita, giusto?

I've missed these two Japanese world tourists. This volume, our characters are in South America: specifically: Brazil, Argentina and Bolivia.
Again, the author loves to show us the food, the best part of traveling and I'm here for it. There were some good looking things here.
We have some family coming out. Surprise, Asahi's brother and his girlfriend is also in Brazil at the same time and they meet up. There are some very cute moments. They spend time together on the beach, a ring is lost and found and Asahi finally comes out to his brother. It was tough, but a good outcome and it needed to happen.
They went to a huge waterfall on the border of Brazil and Argentina that's like Niagra Falls. It looks pretty cool. Then, they went to Argentina and visited the salt flats. I know it's simply drawing, but the sky reflecting off a surface like that, I would love to see that some day. So cool.
They got altitude sickness in Bolivia, but they went to an old abandoned train station that looked interesting.
Anyway, the story went fast. We saw new places in the world and the characters moved forward in their journey. I love this story. I give the story a 5 stars overall and I want to own this series.

This is a culminated review for all four volumes out as of today, not just volume 4.
This series is incredibly sweet and stands out as a mature story dealing with internalized homophobia, fear of change, and a willingness to overcome it all. The art is beautiful with a story to match.
I was afraid this story would fetishize other cultures or veer into a somewhat vapid story about wise strangers but this story rarely skirts that line and ends up instead being a story about the two men at at the center of it all and their own pasts. And it's made clear they are helping people as much as other people help them, strengthening this story's focus on how kindness gets us all through the day.
Truly, a lovely read and I look forward to future volumes!

Vol. 1 ★★★☆☆
Vol. 2 ★★★★☆
Vol. 3 ★★★★☆
Vol. 4 ★★★★☆
Yet another wonderful entry in this heartwarming manga about kindness, love, and travel. While I was hoping we'd get at least one more Africa destination, the boys went straight from Morocco to Brazil. Featuring the usual gorgeous locales and mouth-watering food, this fourth volume also includes Asahi's younger brother, who they unexpectedly meet up with in Rio de Janeiro! Looking forward to the next volume.

I think the story could focus more on developing the characters instead of just their travels, but this volume does a better job of finding a balance. Although it's not the end yet, I really enjoyed seeing how the characters have grown. Asahi's decision to come out to his brother was a big moment, and we also got to learn a bit more about Paul. The flashbacks to Asahi's past illness and his relationship with his mother were nice touches. However, Mitsuki's character feels a bit shallow compared to Asahi's. He seems to only exist in relation to Asahi and his career, without much depth or backstory of his own.
February 7, 2024
I'd still like more focus on the characters than the travelling but it's got a better balance in this volume. It's still not the end, but I liked the character growth better. Asahi actually came out to his brother and we got to see a little bit more of Paul. There was minor stuff flashing back to Asahi's previous illness and a little bit of his mother, which was nice. I do kind of feel like Mitsuki is lacking the same depth and background as Asahi. He seems more one-dimensional, like his entire life revolves around Asahi and his came, and he has little else.

Time to travel again! Brasil! Argentina! And more! Along the road we meet up with Asahi's brother and his girlfriend who are a lot of fun and I wouldn't mind seeing more of them. We have conversations about being together, coming out, and more. I love how Mitsuki and Asahi always talk, about everything, and I love the love between them, they really are perfect for each other!
Oh, and I love how we learn about different countries, sightseeing stuff, food, and more. I would love to visit these places myself, but until then this travel manga is perfect.

Otro tomo hermosísimo acompañando a Asahi y Mitsuki en este viaje. Momentos que te apachurran el corazón, otros muy conmovedores y lindos.
La parte donde conocemos al hermano de Asahi y su novia fue muy bella, Asahi cada vez más seguro de su relación ahora tiene algo que enfrentar.
Que gozo poder leer esta obra tan bella y me emociona muchísimo porque creo que el siguiente ya viene mi México bonito.

When I saw this 4th volume was out I immediately ran to read it, and absolutely loved it as much as the first 3 volumes. This volume sees the boys travelling to Brazil, Argentina and Bolivia, and meet up with Asahi's younger brother.
This volume focuses a lot on Asahi's relationship with his brother, his relationship with Mitsuki, and how Asahi has changed as a person during this trip. It's a really lovely story and I cried twice while reading it.

The brothers' little fight and reconciliation was so touching, I think it's really sweet and you can tell how much they care about each other ;-; I also think it's really refreshing how Sorai-sensei shows the way things can go wrong during a trip in this volume, like getting sick or losing something precious. I'm sure many of us have experienced something like that. I'm glad Asahi didn't really lose his ring!

La copertina penso sia la mia preferita fin'ora.
Il viaggio dei due protagonisti continua, tra ricette tipiche, posti bellissimi da visitare (complimenti al disegnatore perché sono stupendi tutti i paesaggi) e... Segreti da rivelare!
Sono davvero carinissimi, non vedo l'ora di avere il prossimo volume 😭💘
