青のフラッグ [Ao no Flag] #6
Blue Flag, Vol. 6
Love is already hard enough, but it becomes an unnavigable maze for unassuming high school student Taichi Ichinose and his shy classmate Futaba Kuze when they begin to fall for each other after their same-sex best friends have already fallen for them.
The culture festival begins, and Toma and Taichi talk about their futures, but it ends with the two not quite seeing eye to eye. Shortly after, Toma sits down with Mami for a serious discussion, and in response to her earnest openness, he makes a big decision that could change everything. Time keeps moving forward, pushing everyone to the cusp of making critical life choices.

[Ch 38] my fav chapter so far and the best
[Ch 40] did he just confessed??
[Ch 41] yess he freaking confessed
We got Touma confessing to Taichi, but at what cost? 😰
And then Touma apologizing for falling in love with Taichi really cut deep.

Ahhhhh and I’m right BACK to being obsessed with this series, this volume was so good. I love and appreciate the conversations in this volume about struggling with your identity and trying to figure out what it means to be “normal” and how isolating it can feel when you don’t feel normal. I feel like this series really captures what it can feel like to be queer and afraid to come out to family and friends. Also that last chapter, I am SCREAMING. 😭😍 Need to pick up volume 7 NOW.

Elecciones personales, la vida está llena de eso.
Este tomo siempre me pega porque llega un punto en nuestras vidas donde uno se pregunta si de verdad es feliz. ¿Acaso Touma lo es? Detrás de esas sonrisas fingidas y con toda la popularidad encima y amigos que siempre están allí, en realidad puede serlo cuando no es libre de decir te amo por miedo. ¿O acaso Taichi lo es al 100% cuando se subestima y cree que es inservible comparándose con otros, especialmente con su amigo de infancia? ¿O Futaba? Que pasa por un proceso parecido al no sentirse lo suficientemente útil y al no poder cumplir con sus propias expectativas. Y ni hablar de Itachi, que tiene su propio autodescubrimiento, tal como Touma.
La felicidad simplemente está en la libertad, son dos cosas muy unidas. Libertad para amar, para decidir, para actuar. Libertad para poder dar pasos sin que nada te detenga y solo así serás feliz. Otra cosa que me gusta mucho es si en verdad se debe priorizar una relación que puede ser a corto plazo dejando de lado los estudios que pueden ser más provechosos a futuro. Es que al final es eso: la vida son elecciones. Y para bien o para mal, lo mejor es ser sincero con uno mismo y hacer simplemente lo que te haga feliz en ese preciso instante que ya luego de caídas o subidas todo es aprendizaje.
El final de este tomo sigue doliendo porque confirman los miedos de Touma y reafirma todo lo que piensa Mami. Las mujeres siempre son las villanas desde la lupa machista y la homofobia sigue siendo un cáncer dentro de la sociedad. Es que lo vuelvo a leer y sigo sintiendo la misma tensión y la misma tristeza.
P. D. 1: Te quiero mucho Akiko.
P. D. 2: Me dueles Touma. Me dueles Itachi.

He said it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay we're getting into the real shit now. I loved this volume because it dealt with personal feelings and how you see yourself vs how people might feel about you. A great look into two minds of characters who are gay and deal with worrying what others will think of them as. The last two chapters are intense and the ending...oh man.
I really think Blue Flag is an amazing series and I hope it gets a proper anime one day.

my voice is hoarse from how much i screamed through this entire volume in particular, but guys please please read blue flag.
honestly i think this series should be required reading in school because of how well it deals with and portrays coming of age topics like identity, social relationships, friendship and love.

So if you are wondering if these teenagers can actually get it together enough to be honest with each other and themselves to say how they really really feel, well, it actually happens in this issue, where--again, as in the last volume--a set of intimate conversations lead to real revelations. Now, not everything is resolved, of course, but if you are, say, on volume four of this series and are wondering if, for instance, Toma will actually say whom it is he actually loves, well, yep, it gets said, and is worth waiting for.
But the "L" word (in this case, Love), gets said more than once in this volume, and it doesn't always mean the same thing when it is said. It can mean I love you as a friend, or I love you romantically but if you love someone else, that's okay, and so on. And as those of you who have said these words know, to say it doesn't erase all other questions in your life, of course.
So all of this sounds to the casual reader of this review as unremarkable, teen romance stuff. What makes this better? Two of the kids (Taichi and Futaba) are (probably) straight and they are now "in a relationship," (with each other) but some continuing attractions from their two gay friends complicate all the general liking and attraction going on. So one Big Convo occurs between 1) Taichi and Toma; another happens between Toma and Futaba (about whether they might apply to the same colleges together); between Toma and Mami, and 4) between Masumi-Chan and Toma's mother. None of these talks are trivial or frustrating in this volume; all are consequential.
Two strengths of this series are 1) how relatable the issues are, how real the emotional rollercoasters seem, and 2) because the pacing of all the developing identities and reveals (a quadrangle?! no, even more people!) seems more and more masterful to me.

With everyone mostly hanging out at the school's cultural festivals, some intense conversations spring up that finally start to reveal some secrets. I'm glad I have the next volume on hand because that cliffhanger . . . as'ldgihqow'irgheghlalk

I read the first volume of Blue Flag several months ago. After intensely loving it, I skipped to the last volume and read that too (crying my eyes out in the process). I figured, if a manga conclusion can make me emote so strongly whilst having skipped 5 or 6 middle volumes in between, it must be incredible. Thus, I vowed to start from the beginning and read it all the way through to fully appreciate the story.
I’m now nearing the end again (properly), and its been nothing short of an emotional journey coming to know these character! Touma, Mami and Taichi are my favourites, though Masumi and Futaba are amazing as well. The cliffhanger at the end of this volume was easily the best yet; Touma’s confession broke my heart (and his smile afterwards, I’m floored)!
Kaito’s art: I’ve probably mentioned it in every review I’ve done for this series, but its one of my favourites in all the manga I’ve read. Clean linework and unique styling, there are some panels I just can’t help stopping to marvel at. This series is beyond worth it, if you’re looking for a slice of life / rom-com manga, look no further! Blue Flag is perfect!

While a lot of important things happen in this volume, including another painful, painful cliffhanger, what's striking about it is how it treats the idea of "normal." We've seen several permutations of the way that "normal" can hurt people who don't fit the accepted vision of it - Masumi hating her own sexual orientation and actively trying to "fix" it, Mami fighting against perceptions of who she has to be as a classically pretty/hot girl - but this volume also looks at how "normal" is affecting Taichi and Futaba's relationship as college looms, how it plays with beauty standards, and even just the basic idea of family. It feels as if the series is moving towards a discussion of how there is no such thing as "normal" in the toxic sense that the characters experience it, and that's something that needs saying. If any series, manga or otherwise, is going to be be able to pull it off, I think it will be this one.

Things really ramp up in this book and the exploration of who these people are and what the future means is expanded. "What is happiness" "What will I be" "Who do I wantto be" - it's some heady stuff for high schoolers, but it's deftly handled. Truly, this series well thought out and masterfully constructed - it never gets too silly or too serious without swinging back the other way to keep from becoming wholly 1 thing.

Ok, adesso ho seriamente bisogno del settimo volume. Prima di subito.
Ancora una volta questo manga riesce a interpretare benissimo i dubbi e le incertezze che si provano quando ci si ritrova a pensare al proprio futuro. Una questione molto pressante, soprattutto per studenti che stanno per terminare il loro percorso scolastico e devono in qualche modo decidere cosa fare delle loro vite. Io non avevo le idee molto chiare all'epoca (non che adesso vada meglio) e anche i nostri protagonisti non se la stanno passando benissimo.
Tanto per cominciare c'è la spinosa questione legata alla scelta dell'università. Taichi e Futaba vorrebbero frequentare lo stesso posto, ma è davvero questa la scelta giusta? La possibilità di stare vicino vicino al proprio fidanzato/alla propria fidanzata è davvero un criterio importante? Forse sì, ma di sicuro non è l'unico fattore in gioco: bisogna prendere in considerazione la qualità dell'offerta formativa, eventuali opportunità lavorative per il futuro, questioni logistiche, e tanto altro. Futaba teme tutto questo, ma se vuole davvero cambiare e non avere più rimpianti per le occasioni perse, deve fare uno sforzo e affrontare di petto la situazione. Lo stesso Taichi deve ancora capire bene cosa fare, senza farsi prendere troppo dai sentimentalismi. Dopotutto, c'è in gioco il loro futuro.
E poi torna in primo piano un altro dei temi ricorrenti di questo manga: la difficoltà di rimanere fedeli a se stessi in un mondo che tende a puntare il dito contro tutto ciò che è diverso, che non si conforma alla massa. Per evitare problemi, non è forse meglio armonizzarsi con gli altri e reprimere qualsiasi elemento che possa creare disagio? Certo, forse così si può avere una vita serena, ma a che prezzo? Come ci ricorda la cognata di Toma, noi non abbiamo alcun controllo sulle opinioni e sui giudizi degli altri, ma quello che possiamo fare è scegliere la strada migliore per noi: alla fine della fiera, non vale la pena annientare se stessi in nome di un'apparente normalità, anche se non è sempre facile accettare le conseguenze, accettare lo scherno e la disapprovazione degli altri. Soprattutto quando si tratta di persone a cui siamo legati.
Il finale del volume segna poi un altro punto di svolta per la vicenda: infatti, il segreto di Toma diventa di dominio pubblico a scuola e lui stesso decide di confessare i propri sentimenti alla persona di cui è innamorato. Bomba sganciata e bersaglio colpito. E adesso sono cazzi amarissimi per me che non ho ancora in mano il settimo volume. Bene ma non benissimo.

This had one of my favorite first chapters. The Chaos was hilarious!
This series is seriously cementing itself as Middle-school / High School required reading lol.
It maturely handled alot of confusing, frustrating and difficult situations when considering your future out of school. I hope its not finished, because theres a couple of loose ends we still need to wrap up to fully explore these complicated life choices.
And finally, FINALLY, we are getting into the LGBTQ+ themes and conversations! I was getting worried with only 2 volumes left.

I’m not crying, you’re crying 😢
This volume was a lot!
A lot of confessionals and complex feelings from the two characters that pretty much bottle up all of their feelings: Toma and Masumi. This volume mostly focuses on them. There’s some of Taichi and Kuze worrying about whether or not they should prioritize trying to go to college together or focus on what would be best for Kuze’s career. However, the biggest parts of this volume, for me anyway, was Masumi’s conversation with Seiya and Toma’s confession.
Masumi avoided the festival, and I’m not sure if they said why that was. She runs into Seiya at a market and, as a thank you for helping carry her shopping to her car, Seiya buys her lunch. They end up having a conversation where Masumi comes out to Seiya and Seiya realizes Masumi is struggling with keeping that secret from everyone in her life. It’s a wonderful conversation where I feared Seiya would take Masumi cutting through her supportive responses as an attack. Instead, Seiya tells her that she can’t dictate how other people respond to her identity and her choices. She tells her about the serenity prayer and accepting what she can and cannot change. (I only associate that with AA, but I suppose there must be people who just abide by it for other reasons?) it’s a great thing for Masumi because so much of her actions have been trying to control how others respond to situations. So, we have Masumi confessing to Seiya and getting advice to help her be okay with whatever happens if she confesses to Kuze.
And we get Toma’s confession
I love how the tone of this series really makes my heart pound whenever Toma is with Taichi. I think that’s because Toma appears to have less control over his facial expressions than Masumi so, when he’s with Taichi or he hears Kuze express affection for Taichi, you can visibly see his responses on his face. That’s what makes it so surprising (and eternally frustrating!) that nobody else, save Masumi, really seems to be able to read him. This volume, he gets to spend the day at the school festival with Taichi and there’s some really cute moments where they share crepes and go to a haunted house together. There’s a moment where it seems so clear that he’s going to tell Taichi how he feels and then he chickens out.
The moment where he confesses to Mami only happens because Mami confesses that she loves Toma and wishes that her lack of romantic feelings for Kensuke didn’t mean she’d be blamed. It made me wonder if that was a foreshadowing to Taichi worrying about guilt after Toma’s confession - because Taichi is with Kuze now.
Anyway, the moment when he confesses to Taichi was so big! My heart was in my mouth and the art so clearly conveyed the tension and the hesitance before Toma actually tells him he loves him. And the smile after, after Masumi talking about how some people smile even when they really don’t feel it and after Taichi noting that Toma tended to make light of situations that were so hard on him - ahhhhh, I just don’t know what’s going to happen and I want to hug Toma!

[ Re-read in 2022, mexican edition. ]
First of all, people should not have to come out of the closet if they don’t want to. It’s not your duty nor your right to say how we feel, how we express or identify with others. I know they’re kids but that bald guy really pissed me off because Touma is my fav character and his confession to Taichi was something sad, since he was basically cornered to do so.
The bald guy was disgusting, not caring about others and imposing his feelings on the girl who already rejected him. He’s a piece of shit because he’s saying he’s sorry yet he doesn’t actually understand why people are mad at him. I fucking hate people like him because I’ve met them countless of times through my life.
Still, I think this volume was important because one question always remains: “What does happiness means to you?” For some people it’s a career, a family, a place where they can be themselves. For others that idea is just a blank page. And I could relate to that.
When I was young I didn’t know what I wanted and if I would live to my parent’s expectations and my career choices. I thought I was the only one struggling to find an answer but truth is, the older I get, the more I understand that we’re constantly changing and what might be your happiness now, doesn’t mean it will be the same as in ten years from now on.
I’m not the same person I was when I was 18. I’m ten years older and I’m so different that I’m just trying to be happy with the things I’m available to. I guess that’s why I understand Touma’s big brother and his sister in law’s words.
You can help and guide someone, but at the end of the day, we all have to figure out what make us happy and live by it. And it will always be a constant thing, to rediscover yourself.

I CANT EVEN WITH THIS SERIES!!!
The emotional impact of this particular volume has far reaching implications for the rest of the series. We have characters speaking up for what they want, and for their own happiness, rather than catering to other people.
The final panel in this volume has me SCREAMING because I have to wait for the next one, but I trust Kaito with the story.

This volume had some of my favourite chapters so far. Kaito really knows how to pull on my heartstrings because every single chapter had me feeling way too many emotions. And that ending, I have no words. That was basically how I felt through all of chapter 41, stunned.
The conversations and discussions in this volume, again, felt realistic and I connected with a lot of them. I really love how Kaito has portrayed the experiences that these characters are going through. I feel it really captures what a lot of people experience and a lot of the worries people have during the end of high school.
I can't believe I'm nearly done with Blue Flag. I don't want to rush through it but I keep wanting to pick it back up and continue reading.
