Transparent Light Blue

In an apartment complex three friends have grown up and been through thick and thin together. But that changes when Shun and Ichika start dating, leaving Ritsu on the outside. But the secret is Ritsu is in love with Ichika but does not know how to get a hold on her heart and enjoys the intimate moment of cleaning out Ichika's ears. But things change when Shun walks in as Ritsu sneaks a kiss on a sleeping Ichika causing tension between all three of them. Then we have a 2 part story of a cafe worker who has a crush on her older female co-worker thinking she is a pure angel. When she is caught holding the apron of her crush, another co-worker catches her and she begs him not to tell. However there is a twist to this story as secrets are discovered and the second part is told from the perspective of the co-worker.this is a fairly innocent yuri story, with good art and characters you could enjoy. And while the first one did end the way you would think i thought the second one the author could have expanded on it a little more, especially part 2 of the story. While a good read, readers of other stories like Citrus, Girlfriends, and Bloom into you might be a little disappointed in the pacing and the quickness of the stories.

Transparent Light Blue is a collection of yuri stories. The first is about three friends, two girls and a guy. The guy, Shun, and one of the girls, Ichika, have become a couple, but this causes tension in the other girl Ricchan. She is realizing that she loves Ichika herself. The second story takes place in a restaurant with Akane, a waitress who loves one of the other waitresses from afar. This story has a most interesting twist. Transparent Light Blue can boast of very good art; Kiyoko Iwami is strong in that department. The stories are all right but as one who has enjoyed series like Citrus, Hana and Hina After School and Strawberry Panic, I can't say that Transparent Light Blue surpassed them. My assessment would have to be good but not great.

I don’t read a lot of girls loves so I’m not an expert but I this was alright for me there was a lot of unnecessary scenes which weren’t needed but

At the start, it just started out with one lustful girl falling in love with another girl who is in a relationship with a guy. The lustful girl forces herself on the other girl and somehow at the end they end up together. I didn’t really like the plot.

Hahaha. Nice

There are two stories in this manga, and both of them are atrocious.The first story is about two girls and a boy who have all been best friends since childhood. Now that they're teens, the boy and one of the girls begin dating, making the other girl feel like a third wheel. She is also coming to realize she has a crush on the other girl. The two girls have this little habit, where one makes the other clean her ears. She makes erotic sounds while they're doing this, which the other girl records and later tries to blackmail her with because it sounds very intentionally like a sexual encounter. Rather than get upset, this makes the girl realize her friend has a crush on her so she decides she'll dump her boyfriend and date the girl instead. And he ain't even mad.Honestly, not to kink shame anyone, but this story was just gross. I don't get the ear thing, but whatever. To each their own. Though I have to say, when the one girl replaces the cotton swab with her mouth, there is a really disgusting amount of saliva drawn in the several panels that's going on. It's the blackmail thing that really turned me off. And the fact that the boyfriend didn't really react to getting dumped for the other girl makes the whole love triangle thing feel like a forced trope. The whole story, in fact, felt pointless and forced. There was nothing likable about any of the characters or the plot. It was just a very weird scenario set in a stereotypical, bland high school setting with multiple mentions of sporting events. Bleh.The second story was somehow worse and twice as confusing. Two girls are crushing on the same girl, and they both decide to get hired on at the café where she works so they can get close to her. But she's dating the (male) boss. And he decides to mess with them by making one of the girls cross-dress and pretend to be a guy, and nobody knows about it. I am beyond bewildered by this entire situation because it had no purpose, except to confuse the other coworker who got hired on, because she decides if she can't have the girl she wants, she'll make the "boy" wear her apron with her nametag on it and force herself on "him" instead. So she begins sexually assaulting someone because she doesn't want her real crush to be aware of her "impure" thoughts. But when she discovers her crush is dating the boss, she decides she's not so "pure" herself and doesn't want her anymore. So she instead begins dating the cross-dressed character, glad to find out she's a girl after all.I don't even know what to say. This whole thing was offensive and gross. The main character was very judgy and preachy about what was and wasn't "pure" in her almighty opinion. She indicated that her own belief was that same-sex relationships were "unclean" even while sexually assaulting someone, then decided her crush was "impure" for being in a straight relationship. I don't even get it. Hard pass on this one. I wouldn't pick up anything else by this author, either.

Super cute, the art style is just sooo beautiful, the characters are stunning. A great yuri one shot!

This is not the yuri I like. I like the intimate relationship aspect of yuri whether their is romance or not. Here it's about lust. And given that its focus is high-school girls, some of the treatment borders on being almost pornographic (although little is shown). It's not that high-schoolers can't have sex lives, it's that the way this is depicted is for the titillation of an audience, not as a needed part of the story. It just came across as gross. Avoid unless you like smutty service. Too bad, because there is one twist in the side story's end that would actually have been great if it had been the focus of a more intimate form of storytelling. I sold mine used to get it off my shelf, I was that bothered by it.

Der Manga aus dem Yuri Genre ist ganz gut zu lesen, allerdings eher eine der schwächeren Stories.

Kurzgeschichten zum Thema Yuri. Schön gezeichnet. Nett für zwischendurch.

El arte de esta mangaka bien merece estas 5 estrellas. La historia es concisa y directa. Espero ver Luminous=Blue también.
