Sweet Blue Flowers, Vol. 1 by Takako Shimura
4.0
TW: groping, breakups, coming out, crushes on teachers, crushes on family members, mention of sex
3.5 stars | This was super beautiful as far as the art style went. All of the girls were illustrated so wonderfully and i loved just looking at all of the art.
I do think that people who are more well versed in reading manga would have a bigger appreciation than I did for this story. I found it rather difficult to keep track of what was going on and who was narrating and what characters had what relationships. But in the end I found my bearings and was able to understand the overall messy but quite realistic high school experience.
I will say that really, I didn’t like any of the characters except for maybe Akira. Everyone else was either too bratty or annoying, but I’m sure that plenty of people will learn to appreciate every girl and her personality regardless of first impressions.
My conclusive thoughts are that the art style was my favorite part about what I read, and although I had a fun and cutesy time I’m unsure if I’ll continue with the series.
