So you're in the market for a slow burn romance, unrequited love and awkward crushes gone right (and wrong) with beautiful art? Oh you found it here YAY! No seriously this was really fun and dramatic and I loved it!

I defiantly recommend this to anyone! It's just super cute!

This was an interesting read. I was NOT expecting that twist at the end of chapter 5! Looking forward to reading the next volume.

Blue Flag takes the time for the emotional nuance of its central characters, to illustrate the pauses, the shifts in expression, as emotions cross over characters' faces panel to panel. Told from high schooler Taichi's perspective, this slice-of-life drama follows Taichi, shy Kuze, and popular Toma and their friendship and romantic entanglement(s). With touches of humor, the story predominately feels soft and a bit contemplative.

This is one of my favorite series that Viz licensed! LGBT+ storyline starting at the end of the book with like a love quadrangle. I appreciate how the protagonist Taichi encourages his classmate Futaba to get the attention of Touma, who is one of the popular boys in their class and Taichi's childhood friend. But along the way he gets feelings and some of Futaba's actions are misinterpreted by her crush.

The series often delves into heartfelt conversations between teens along with lighthearted moments, like when Taichi invites Touma to hang out and watch movies but it's actually an agreed upon plan with Futaba who "happens" to be there with her friend going to watch the same movie and then Taichi invites her to watch with them! It's also funny how Taichi is portrayed as the average nobody kid but he's the protagonist of the whole story.

I think anyone who likes lighthearted romance and Shonen Jump series will enjoy this manga. Only 2 volumes is in the Shonen Jump vault if you have the subscription, but the series is complete at 54 chapters. The last 3 chapters are available on Manga Plus for free.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Turns out I just don't like manga. Maybe the translation's not good enough but I also just don't like the artwork in general. It's too bad because I've heard so many good things about so many manga.

I really loved this story, it is so nice to see LBGQ rep in manga more and more. I'm very invested in this story and I will be continuing this series,

This is a favorite genre and this book did not disappoint I am very much looking forward to reading volume 2. Thank you for the opportunity to review this book

Really great beginning and cliffhanger leaving me wanting more. The art style is reminiscent of some older mangas while still holding up to the crispness of newer mangas. I would classify this as a slice-of-life mange.

As if being a teenager or high school wasn't hard enough why not add a love quadrangle.
Drama, bullying and angst all tied up in one emotional beginning to a series I'm sure will tear us apart and put us back together again before its all over.

I loved the art and story line. The emotion, and sweet moments.

UGH! But that cliffhanger is ugh!!!

I need the next volume now!

Adorable high school drama.
Tomas' attraction to Tai-Chan is obvious with every panel they're in together.
Things are about get complicated.

I would say the Viz's habit of putting a watermark on every page is really annoying. Reviews, and by association reviewers, help sell books. The watermark affects the ability to clearly see the artwork and declares a profound lack of trust in the reviewer.

I really liked this Manga which is basically about a love triangle between two guys and a girl. Tachi Ichinose always sees this girl Futaba Kuze around at school and this year she is in the same class. One day he finds out that she has a crush on one of his friends, Toma Mita. Toma Mita is one of those super popular high school athletes that everyone loves. Futuba is super awkward so Tachi volunteers to help her try to express her feelings to Toma with interesting results.
The artwork is super cute and I always love reading Japanese Manga as it always reminds me of living in Japan. I'm excited to read the next volume in this Manga to see what happens.

This is so, so, so adorable. The art is amazing to look at, and I'm such a big fan of the characters so far. I love the idea of a non-traditional love triangle, and this one is definitely not traditional. All the characters seem to be in a slightly different art style, too, which in my opinion enhances the rest of the story around it; they're all supposed to be different, and come from different groups, so they all look different. It's subtle, but it gets the message across. I'm really, really excited to see where this goes, though, and am definitely gonna be picking up the rest of the volumes as they come out.

The first volume of Blue Flag offers a thoughtful and intriguing look at youth and love. With an interesting collection of characters and some hints at deeper issues to be explored later, this is certainly a manga to keep an eye on.

This manga had cute artwork and a cute story. This had quite a few characters and love interests I almost needed a chart drawn on who liked who. It was interesting, but I don't know if I'm interested enough to continue.

I was unable to read this book on the formatting that I have available to me through net galley. I plan on buying this book now that it is available from the publisher.

3.5 Stars ( I received an e-arc from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review)

I do want to preface this review with saying that I only got through 56% on the book as for some reason my e-book file suddenly became unlicensed. I was struggling in the beginning as I was getting back into reading manga, and sometimes stories can have a lot of cringe. I may purchase the first volume on kindle in the future. Basically what I could grasp is everyone has a crush on everyone.

I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. It has been a little bit since I have read any manga, but I enjoy a good love story. This is about four people who have feeling for someone. There is a lot of confessions, crushes, and drama and this is only the first volume of this story. I love the writing and the illustrations that help bring the story even more to life. I don't want to give too much way since this is worth the read. There is friends in love with friends, secret crushes, asking for help with confessions and so much more. I can't wait for the next volume to be in my hands.

I really liked this book until I got to the last few pages. Then I loved it! Highly recommend. I cannot wait until the next one!

4.9

This manga was cute and full of drama that you would find in a typical high school setting. This was such a good read and I can't for vol. 2 to come out. I want more of Kuze, Ichinose, Itachi, and Toma story. These four are relatable to a current love story that could potentially happen in high school.

I received an ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for my unbiased opinion.

Despite being friends with Toma Mila, the most popular boy in their grade, Taichi Ichinose always feels on the outside of his class, not quite fitting in. Futaba Kuze is also a bit of an outcast in their grade, clumsy and shy. One day, Futaba confesses to Taichi that she has a crush on Toma and asks for his help getting Toma to like her. As Toma gets to know Futaba better while helping her, he begins to realize that he has a crush on her.

I loved this comic! This was such a cute story. It did a fantastic job of setting up for the next volume of Blue Flag, which I can't wait to read!
