Sweet Blue Flowers, Vol. 1 by Takako Shimura
4.0
June 2022. GL manga series about two childhood friends who get reacquainted when one of them moves back to the area for high school. They go to two different all girls high schools and series focuses on them and a large number classmates at each school and a couple teachers.
Overall I liked the series but didn’t love it. It suffers from feeling too unfocused with so many characters, and adds new ones in each volume. I think it could’ve been much stronger with fewer characters to keep track of that get their own plot arcs and side stories.
I did appreciate that it includes lesbian, bi/pan, and straight characters. The lovely art was a strong point and characters were likable.
Got all 4 volumes from Sac library. It was originally 8 smaller volumes in Japan but was published in English as 4 omnibus volumes containing 2 each, so the 4 English language volumes are the full story.
