海辺のエトランゼ [Umibe no Étrange]

紀伊カンナ's Umibe no Étrange, published by Shodensha since 2014, is a tender, single-volume boys' love story set on a quiet Okinawan island. It follows the slow-blooming connection between a reclusive novelist and a high school boy adrift in grief, exploring first love and self-acceptance with gentle, sunlit art. This heartfelt debut manga established Kii Kanna as a sensitive voice in the genre, prized for its atmospheric storytelling and emotional nuance.
