RELATED: The Conditions of Paradise Collects Cute Tales of Women in Love It's here where Blue Flag elevates itself from just solid shonen romcom into something mildly revolutionary for the genre, and particularly unique among Shonen Jump series. Whether you guessed it or not, it will likely make you interested in reading on. This volume's cliffhanger twist is one you might have guessed at if you've heard some of the hype regarding Blue Flag in certain online circles, but it will take other readers by surprise. Then there's the ending, which this review won't spoil but has to discuss in a roundabout way. The comedic bits are frequently amusing, but perhaps the most memorable gag is how Taichi imagines Futaba as the hamster queen "Ham-Ra." Taichi's evolving feelings for Futuba, in which he realizes the ways his initial distaste and growing interest in her relate to his own self-image, form a solid emotional backbone to the narrative. The characters feel real, with the sense of history regarding Taichi and Toma's unlikely friendship being particularly believable. RELATED: The Promised Neverland's Biggest Villain Yet Makes a Terrifying ChoiceĮven early on, though, KAITO executes the formula well. It's a basic love triangle story that doesn't sound particularly exciting if you're not a devotee of such stories. The spoiler-free summary sounds rather generic as far as this genre goes: nerdy boy Taichi Ichinose agrees to help classmate Futaba Kuze hook up with his cool friend Toma Mita, but Toma isn't into Futaba and Taichi, against his best wishes, is starting to fall for her. 1 without spoilers because the most interesting part of this volume is the way it ends. It's somewhat tricky to discuss Blue Flag Vol.
