Volume 2 of That Blue Sky Feeling was just as beautiful as the first, if not more. I love how Sanada and Noshiro's friendship is growing. We also get to see more of Sanada and Yamamoto. They remind me of me with some of my best girlfriends. I love how this series explores coming out. There was a scene in chapter ten that made me almost cry, it was so real. How you want to be yourself with everyone you know, but your anxiety won't let you. This series is highly recommended to anyone that likes LGBT+ manga. Please, read it.

Sanada and Ayumi have to confront their feelings for each other. In a normal romance, they'd end up together, but Sanada's gay, and Noshiro's doesn't quite get that that wouldn't work. Ayumi was holding onto hope despite herself, and Sanada was ignoring Ayumi's feelings to hide behind her. They both have to confront their actual feelings, from opposite sides.
We meet a new character in this volume, Morinaga. He's an underclassman, and puts all of his feelings out there, very dramatically. He clearly likes Noshiro, but he's more like Sanada than he realizes. I found the misunderstandings here fun, and we get to see Noshiro trying to be nice while still not quite understanding what being gay entails. It's a long process for him, it seems. It's also been a process for Sanada and Noshiro, though. These things take time, it seems.
Despite how loud he is, I actually liked Morinaga, and enjoyed how he pushed Noshiro and Sanada in this volume. They needed something to push these feelings forward.
I really like this series. I'm so glad it's being published and we're getting more stuff like this. I look forward to seeing how it wraps up.


A review copy was provided by the publisher, VIZ Media, for an honest review. Thank you so, so much!

I really like the development. The author is treating everyone’s experiences and feelings very carefully, giving the characters space to think and grow

I really like Makoto, he’s adorable. And Ayumi’s growth in this was great. Also Sanada and Noshiro’s relationship just keeps getting sweeter

A much better volume and Hidemitsu was much less creepy. I really like how the manga was originally a web series and some of the differences are shown at the ends of the volume. I felt sad for Ayumi, as nobody is being honest with her.
