Comments of Raiatea

The cover reminded me of Gauguin. Interesting setup: Photog loses an eye to lupus and yearns to return to the place where he discovered his love for the craft (i.e. A pretty island and a pretty man). Curious to see what comes next (but no, sorry, you don't ride a horse totally naked and without a saddle THAT WAY LIES CRUSHED TESTICLES AND PAIN).

I like how it touched on racism a bit. You don't often see that in manga.

The Polynesian guy looks sooo gorgeous among pure nature in that sacred island.
The way they stay in harmony with nature is beautifully wonderful. *ღ¸¸.•✿⊱╮

One of the mcs has lost his vision on one eye.
Other one is from some tribe and has tattoos

not a fan of the art and really not in the mood for the angst.

Poetry.

"People's weight, and the sound of their heart feels good. Nothing but good..."

I don't know how to say but that was amazing. I love art style, content and everything! First came for wild life yaoi, stayed for the story. It has so much emotions that I read it until 8am at morning. Wow. Read it and read again! Especially 'raiatea's meaning and zomu's left eye lost it's light so find Mani's distant sky eyes! Oof man you're really cool as Zomu said! I'll read mangaka's other works too for sure!

❂ [Baka-Updates] Suddenly stricken with lupus, a photographer loses sight in one eye. Faced with an uncertain prognosis, he feels an urgent need to revisit the South Pacific island that inspired his career. Can he convince the man he encountered there years ago, now a medical researcher in Southern California, to accompany him on his journey?
> I really loved this story! Especially when they went back to the island together and when they finally made love immersed in the nature...it was truly beautiful and fascinating! Also, Mani's tribal tattoos looked so good on him!

Really love this one. Story of healing and love

It could use a sequel with more action, but the story is good.

Beautiful. If you looking for smut shit. This isnt for you

this was a very fulfilling read, i honest cannot put into words the disappoinment I felt after seeing comments that took this story in a very negative light. The story was very well thought out and was very refreshing. The art in this story is so good but we all knew that already. If you want a wonderful read then this story is for you.

Good manga but would've been better to see them on his island since that was such a major thing for mani instead we just got sex

As an indigenous person myself, this was so well written that i am blown away! A true masterpiece! <3

Bro....how can this have such low rating..... this was really good what the fuck. I'm always cautious when a manga features an indigenous character because more often than not it comes off as fetishizing and racist (looking at you, Mother's Spirit). But in here, the author addressed such fetishizing and racist behavior towards the character, and we see how it impacted and changed him irrevocably as a person. I also love the art (those people saying that it's ugly are insane im telling you) and how fulfilling the story is considering the length of the book. Totally godsend will read again.

Can someone tell me why this doesn't have a 9+ star rating??

just two men living and fucking

i can’t get enough of this artwork. takes a whiLe for me to move from one paneL to another. DAMN

This is soooooo Good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 100/10!!!!!!!!! Non toxic, yes to consent, yes to good art!!!!

wow this was beautiful 20 years of unrequited love why are the rating so low this was great
