Preliminary Spoiler

Preliminary (7/13 chp)
There is little to write about this manga. All I can really say is that this is definately one of the best manga I have read. The only complaint I have is that it was too short, but hopefully the second season will make up for it.

As far as the plot goes, it was short and sweet, well not exactly sweet and straight to the point most of the time. The characters are well developed and lovable (in my opinion). The art was nice and the character designs were very good. Overall I really enjoy this manga and can not wait ...

"I was drowning, in feelings I didn't know the name of."

Here we go again? NOPE. This is a warning for lovers of the yuri genre. This is not a story of how two girl friends (best friends?) become lovers and we get a sexy yuri scene at the end. This is a story... about FRIENDSHIP.

As most western fans know, both the yuri and shoujo ai genres deal with love between women, the former focusing on the sexual aspect while the later focuses on the emotional aspect of it. And so we come into the genre with full expectations that they become lovers at some point. ...

*** This review is for the first season of "Blue Friend" ***

A story that involves with friendship, love and trust. Without trust, it is impossible to become friends with others. And without friendship, it is very difficult to build a relationship that goes beyond it.

【Story】Rating: 8

I actually re-read "Blue Friend" twice. The first time I read it which was a year ago, I just thought it was an average shoujo ai story about two girls because chapter 8: After Days wasn't out yet. When I finally came back to reading this story again, it brought back memories and I was really touched by chapter ...

Blue Friend has a really simple story. Tomboy extrovert befriends anti-social introvert sums up this entire manga. It has the usual shoujo bullying set-up and family problems. One criticism I do have is I don't feel like the family issue was fully resolved and it seemed like it was just forgotten. But it isn't as important as the relationship between the two main characters. The ending was bittersweet, which I love so much because it retains realismr

Art is fine, acceptable level for shoujo. Characters were also fine, no one I truly disliked. Bullies were insignificant enough that I didn't need to invest hate in them. ...

I'll just keep it real this manga is not at all yuri it's all about friendship, bol 1&2 is a story that's so far depressing it makes you wanna pull your hair, it's frustrating i mean like the ending is also terrible I'd say it was disheartening, i expected it to be a fluffy story but it was seriously depressing and in the last chapter it makes you say "what? It just ended like that???"

Now talk about vol 3 it's good but it's not yuri it's all about friendship till the end not a depiction of romance and it focuses on troubles at all ...

Generally when I compare a Yuri work to its Class S predecessors I mean that fondly. “Sweet Blue Flowers”, “Girlfriends”, “Revolutionary Girl Utena”: all of these works are among my favorites, not only of Yuri, but of all media, and it is through their homages to the works that come before that they achieve the effects they do. “Blue Friend” brazenly wears the same influences as these great works, but when I say that “Blue Friend” is essentially a more modern Class S work, I mean that in the most unfortunate way possible accompanied with all the baggage of the Shoujo genre.

Though in many ways ...
