![]() The other side is that there are adult characters that cut right through the BS teenager defenses and flags which leads to them getting to the heart of the matter. It’s partially because its genuine feelings with experiencing things that was going on. I think it’s KAITO’s writing that has to do with it. While I seem to have gotten into some rom com kind of manga and anime recently, they don’t feel at complex or as thoughtful as Blue Flag. That multi dimensional characters and awkwardness is why Blue Flag is so great to me. There is no real story in Blue Flag, just a metaphorical clock ticking and creating more pressure for their lives. It’s a manga with a lot of multi dimensional characters that you can tell something is going on in each of their heads in the background. Plus that is not to mention the many nameless characters in the story or bigger figures in each character’s life that influence them or push them away. I mean she is best girl and can take scenes just by appearing. Plus some other characters like Masumi who clearly has a crush on Futabe and can be considered apart of this group, but she doesn’t appear as often as others. As in, Touma likes Taichi, Taichi likes Futabe, and Futabe likes Touma. I don’t know what it is, but KAITO did a fantastic job of exploring all sorts of things that teenagers feel at this time period through the complicated love triangle of Touma, Taichi, and Futabe. A big relatable mess that really captures all of these things pretty well. There is a lot of complicated feelings going on combined with the pressure of what happens after high school and it’s a big mess. Futabe Kuze starts out the manga with a crush on Touma and she tries to get to know him through Taichi. Blue is also a story of awkward romances and feelings. Those long-lost feelings that golden boy Touma and unsure Taichi had during their playing together at a younger age comes in a bit more complicated. A part of Blue Flag’s story is capturing a friendship that was long lost between two childhood friends and seeing it trying to be forged together again at the end of high school. Especially as you grow up and meet new people and leave the older friends behind. One of the most relatable things in real life that can be depicted in fiction is drifting apart from childhood friends. Here is Blue Flag, but this is not the only manga that I finished and enjoyed at this point. So, this week is just a quick catch up on some of the manga that I wanted to write about but couldn’t. That is how I finished Blue Flag a few months ago at this point and I am finally getting to it now. It’s rather mean to have all the things I like actually appear in front of me in a very quick manner. It doesn’t help when they are all things I want to check out. Especially since things that I like keep coming out for one reason or another and is only so much time. There is so much to cover in a short amount of time and I don’t want to be blogging into infinity. I meant to write about manga sooner then this, but not everything ever goes as planned. ![]() Oh man, it’s been a bit of a time since I’ve written anything about manga besides some quick first impressions.
