The fear of being a burden to the person you love and holding them back was a direct consequence of Subaru also holding himself back. He had given up on fulfilling his dream of traveling the world to visit the locations from Touga’s pictures, accepting he had to settle for a simple life, doomed to observe life but not truly experience it. Yet, Touga’s love set him in motion. As Subaru realized he could live the life he had always wished for and deserved, Touga realized his pictures didn't suck people’s souls but, on the contrary, appeared to inspire them.

The moments of their journey are incredibly touching: Subaru’s back portrait at Touga’s solo exhibition, the accessible apartment Touga found for him, the double ring he gave him, the start of their journey around the world together, the wishes they made and will continue to make to shooting stars… The fluff was almost too much; my heart couldn’t handle it!

This manga beautifully reminds us, through Touga's words to Subaru, to never stop making wishes to shooting stars. Absolutely waiting for volume 3!

Just like pink and blue merge at sunset, Nagisa’s pink hair and Issa’s passion for deep blue sea fishing merge in such a fluffy love story about two childhood friends with very different personalities and aspirations in life. One thing in common, their love for each other. Their love language, having salmon together.
