I tend to try and watch as much LGBTQ+ anime as I can. But self-doubt, family, acceptance, and fear will challenge these young men, as nothing worth fighting for goes without taking chances. As each day passes, both young men find themselves in an ever-unique, undisturbed voyage of friendship and romance. The Stranger By the Shore follows the love story of Shun Hashimoto, an aspiring novelist, and Mio Chibana, a grieving young man, who both find more than they bargained for during a time of transition. I’m of the before times where manga series like FAKEgot exactly ONE OVA even if the manga had several stories that could be adapted, so when I see a queer title get so much fan fair I can’t help but be excited about it. To see this being released here, less than a year after the Japanese release, WITH a dub is kinda mindblowing to me. While we live in a time where popular releases get dubbed so fast that they run alongside the Japanese release, that isn’t necessarily the case with queer anime. The film, based on the manga series by Kanna Kii, was initially released in Japan last September. The Stranger by the Shore will be available subbed and dubbed July 9th!įind out more: /HRSjKUziwo Just in time for summer, a refreshing new love story set by the sea is heading exclusively to Funimation! ☀️ Last Friday, Funimation announced the release of The Stranger By the Shore, an LGBTQ+ anime film that will be on their streaming service on July 9.
