Blue Flag, Vol. 3: Volume 3

Description

An unexpected love quadrangle with a dash of unrequited love as two classmates, a boy and a girl, begin to fall for each other when each of their best friends have already fallen for them. 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. Toma gets seriously injured diving in front of a car to save Taichi, leaving Taichi racked with guilt over not just getting his best friend hurt, but also stealing his last chance at making the summer baseball tournament. Guilty and angry, the two boys clash in an emotionally raw argument. Futaba, worried about both of them, invites Taichi out in an attempt to cheer him up. Review: Best Volume Thus Far - Volume 3 may probably be the best or most memorable Blue Flag volume as Taichi finally getting the emotional release he so desperately needed thanks in part to Toma holding his hand was truly emotional and unforgettable. Both boys finally crying had me in tears. I do wonder what may come next in their friendship and ultimately will both get the happiness they deserve? Futaba was a great character to have around and taking a stand even as Taichi had his emotional outburst was a memorable moment for her. I am liking how her character is developing through the manga, and here too I wonder what next will happen with her. Overall, lovely volume. The extra bonus pages were good too. Review: Definitely recommend - Good, especially for pride month live this manga and the story line
