Modern boy’s love these days is blessed with consent and characters that are more than just horny animals that threaten sexual assault, but while wholesome boy’s love has its charms, it is nice to see one of the more seductive series getting some time to shine.

Where To Start The Twilight Out of Focus Manga After The Anime?
If you finished the Twilight Out of Focus anime and wish to continue the story in the manga, you can start at the second Twilight Out of Focus sequel manga, Twilight Out of Focus Long Take Chapter 1.
For more explication of what that actually means, see the section below.
What to Expect From The Twilight Out of Focus Manga?
Twilight Out of Focus is kind of unconventional as a manga in its format. It is also best explained in bullet points.
- Twilight out of Focus is the main manga series about Mao and Hisashi.
- Twilight Out of Focus Overlap is a sequel to the above manga, still following Mao and Hisashi.
- Twilight Out of Focus Long Take is a sequel to Overlap, still following Mao and Hisashi.
- Afterimages in Slow Motion (Zanzou Slow Motion) is a single-volume spin-off manga series that follows Jin and Giichi’s relationship.
- The Evening Monologues (Yoiyoi Monologue) is another single-volume spin-off manga that follows Rei and Shion’s relationship.
The anime adapts the series as such:
- Episode 1 through 4 adapts Twilight Out of Focus (the main series) in full.
- Episode 5 through 7 adapts Afterimages in Slow Motion (Zanzou Slow Motion) in full with some cuts
- Episode 8 through 10 adapt Evening Monologues (Yoiyoi Monologue) in full with some cuts.
- Episode 11 and 12 adapts Twilight Out of Focus Overlap in full.
What this means is that Rei and Shion’s story and Giichi and Jin story were adapted in full, although they did omit some moments of their story. The only thing left to read is Long Take.
Now as for the quality of Twilight Out of Focus as an anime series, it was fairly good, but they did cut a lot of cute moments out of all the stories. If you have a particular favorite couple, there is some merit to reading their series from the beginning, but it is not strictly necessary.
Is The Twilight Out of Focus Manga Over?
The Twilight Out of Focus manga is complete. It ended in 2019 with Chapter 7.
The Twilight Out of Focus Overlaps manga is complete. It ended in 2020 with Chapter 9.
The Twilight Out of Focus Long Take manga is complete. It ended in 2024 with Chapter 12.
The Afterimages in Slow Motion manga is complete. It ended in 2020 with Chapter 7.
The Evening Monologues manga is complete. It ended in 2021 with Chapter 7.
Will There Be A Twilight Out of Focus Season 2?
There has been no announcement of a Twilight Out of Focus Season 2 anime.
The primary issue with another season is that they may not have enough content to do so, but we will see. They could adapt Long Take and shuffle in some cut moments from the other ships, but it wouldn’t be very satisfying for side ship fans.
