hobbitfreddie 's review for:
The Blue Summer and You
by Nagisa Furuya
For a sequel it's pretty good, though for a final chapter it's a bit lacking. I do enjoy Chiharu and Wataru's relationship but this volume just felt lacking.
Art: The art feels too plain and empty. The style's simple but cute, and that's really it. There are of course some good looking panels, it's mostly mediocre. It does try to stray away from repetetive panels, I guess.
Story: I do like how they try to develop the boy's relationship, and tie in the movie theme, it just feels like there should have been another volume. Everything seems to move too slowly, this feels like the middle of a story rather than the end. While I did enjoy it, it was mainly a guilty pleasure, as there are some sweet moments, of course. I'll give the story props for bringing in drama without being annoying or tropey, and depicting a not a fairytale romance, rather a more realistic one. Wataru and Chiharu are just young men figuring things out, and I enjoyed reading that. I wish we got more of the movie aspect.
I do like how the world feels lived in, it has a nice slice of life feel, but again everything feels so plain. But at least that's there.
All in all the main flaw is how short this series is. I'd reccomend it for a nice and light BL read.
