Blue Flag, Vol. 8

The last volume had me tearing up. This story explored the complications of identity, fear of acceptance, and the bonds of friends. It wrapped up in a semi short fashion, I wished it explored more with a spacific character. I was overall happy with the ending.

Imperdível! Li todos os volumes na sequência. A história é linda, a arte é excelente, e os personagens são construídos de uma forma muito delicada e pé no chão. Não costumo gostar muito de mangás do tipo “coming of age”, mas esse é tão bom que nem tem como não gostar. Ri e me emocionei muito durante toda a jornada dos personagens. Vi alguns comentários reclamando do final aberto, mas eu pessoalmente achei perfeito, muito emocionante e coerente com tudo o que foi mostrado. Na verdade, sendo bem honesta, sabendo interpretar a parte visual e o texto, não fica tão aberto assim, rs. Também adorei ver os comentários da pessoa autora sobre o processo de criação do mangá, no final do volume. Enfim, 1000 estrelas, é sensacional!

Blue Flag is definitely one of my favourite romance mangas. The book came extremely quickly and in good condition.

Lead up to the end was worth it (even if a bit over the top, manga loves having characters impulsively dash to wherever to solve whatever circumstance their in, cheesy but fun). Liked the series for having characters talk things out even if they meandered a bit in their conversations, lost their trains of thoughts or struggled to put their thoughts into words, and didn't mine taking positions and calling each other out. Also I liked the part of characters really struggling with what to do in their life and their future, felt a bit more authentic then a few other series. Still love the same sex relationships and crushes being identified so early in the series and not putting it off to the middle or something. Really made the journey feel solid from start to finish.Wish there were a few chapters in between the final chapter and the epilogue as I would have liked to see the circumstances that spanned that 7 year period as well as Tai-chans journey and well for that matter Toma's and how their decision to date and get together would have gone. Also would have been nice to see them both dating and what not, not even in that extra chapter did we see them together smiling at one another or something lol.Also, it has an extensive author afterword and a bonus story.

The condition of this book is terrible I had previous bends on the side which I let slide and also some were in pristine condition but this was the worst by far my camera didn’t capture the proper extent of the damage then what the eye can see I’m quite disappointed with this order
