Dry Heat (Japanese: 我らの水はどこにある, Hepburn: Warera no Mizu wa Doko ni Aru) is a Japanese manga written and illustrated by Yugi Yamada. It was serialised in Hanaoto magazine and collected into a bound volume by Houbunsha in 2002.[1] It is licensed in North America by Digital Manga Publishing, which released the manga through its June imprint, on 24 February 2010.[2]
Leroy Douresseaux, writing for Comic Book Bin, enjoyed the characterisation, saying "there is as much action going on in [the] character's heads as there is action on the page", and described the manga as an "engaging read".[3]
Katherine Farmar, writing for Manga Village, noted Yamada's method of taking the BL cliche of the "childhood-crush-all-grown-up" and making it "less sentimental and more realistic", feeling it had "substance", and that the genres were "a delightful blend of romance, comedy, and very low-key thriller".[4]
