Blue Flag, Vol. 8 by Kaito

3.0

Siiiiiiigh - I read this manga in two halves. Volumes 1-4 about a month ago, and the last four this week. I was so intrigued and entertained by the first four volumes, but the 2nd half of this manga was 3 stars on average. I wish I could remember who told me they quit this series after volume 7—whoever you are, I can see why you did! Volume 8 slightly redeems the soapbox preachiness of volumes 6 & 7, but man, I did not really like where this went. One of the secondary characters is given much attention, and while I agree in principle with the narrative, it was soooo much tell tell tell, the dialogue boxes crowd the pages, bc all of these teenagers are pontificating left right and center. I THINK that the couple I wanted to see together is together at the end, but it was written so vaguely that it’s hard to tell.
