Summary
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。
Rumors spread like wildfire after Toma’s shocking confession during the culture festival， leaving Taichi confused and uncertain。 The effects of that event ripple out to the others， leaving wounds in their wake。 Meanwhile， Toma’s brother sits him down for a frank talk。 All the thoughts and emotions everyone has kept hidden are finally coming to light， and relationships begin to change。

AMO MUCHO ESTO Y NO QUIERO QUE SE ACABE！！ 😭💛Lloré con la parte de Touma y su hermano fue muy lindo 💛😭 y con muchas otras jajaMe gustó mucho todos los debates que se dieron en este tomo y creo que todos tienen un punto válido， aunque Kensuke a veces si es muy tonto， pero aprecio ver la historia e ideas de cada personaje， los quiero a todos y quiero que sean felices 😭💛

It’s not going to end the way I’d like this series to end I guess 😭 but I do like the heavier topics in this manga， and how the characters discuss them！

this was definitely the weakest volume in the series by FAR。 This volume captured some beautiful interactions between yagihara and itachi。 but that 5 way conversation SUNK the whole volume for me with weird rhetoric。 VERY NERVOUS for the English publication of the finale。 Still have so much faith because the last 6 volumes have floored me。

I'm sorry but Taichi and Futaba have absolutely no chemistry and i'm 0% invested in their relationship。 I'm sorry but Taichi and Futaba have absolutely no chemistry and i'm 0% invested in their relationship。 。。。more

Hmmm， my least favourite out of all but still a solid read。 I just didn’t like how they handled homophobia。 I still enjoyed some scenes though

Blue Flag， Vol。 7 continues where the previous tankōbon left off and contains the next seven chapters （42–48） of the on-going manga series。It continues on the relationship between four teenagers that are in their last year of high school。 Taichi Ichinose – an unremarkable teenage boy， Touma Mita – the popular athlete， Futaba Kuze – the shy girl， and Masumi Itachi – the cool collected girl。 Together， they navigate the dangerous ground of high school relationship – both friendship and love。Taichi Blue Flag， Vol。 7 continues where the previous tankōbon left off and contains the next seven chapters （42–48） of the on-going manga series。It continues on the relationship between four teenagers that are in their last year of high school。 Taichi Ichinose – an unremarkable teenage boy， Touma Mita – the popular athlete， Futaba Kuze – the shy girl， and Masumi Itachi – the cool collected girl。 Together， they navigate the dangerous ground of high school relationship – both friendship and love。Taichi Ichinose was stunned silent about the love confession from Touma Mita。 As rumors spread about the revelations at school the next day， mainly by the friends of Mami Yagihara – Shouko Hasuda and Sayaka Mochizuki。 After school， they bring Taichi Ichinose to Kensuke Masuo and Shingo Niimura as they talk about Touma Mita。 Meanwhile Futaba Kuze， Masumi Itchi， and Mami Yagihara speak of the same thing with Mami Yagihara finding out the feelings and sexual orientation of Masumi Itchi。This tankōbon is written and illustrated by KAITO。 For the most part， it is written and illustrated rather well。 It centers mainly on four conversations: the two above， the one with Taichi Ichinose and Futaba Kuze， where he reveals that Touma Mita confessed to him， and Touma Mita’s heart-to-heart with his older brother Seiya Mita， who tells Touma Mita that he would support him in his life as long as he is happy。 The tankōbon ends with Taichi Ichinose reminisces of his history with the Mita Family。All in all， Blue Flag， Vol。 7 is a wonderful continuation to a series that seems really intriguing and I can't wait to read more。 。。。more

This was a heavy volume in this series。 It's mostly the characters having long dialogues after everything that happened。 But it's not between the main 3。 This is definitely my least favorite in this series but don't get me wrong it's still really good。 I just wished the story progressed more even if we got some interesting topics that they talk about。 I have no idea how this will end。 This was a heavy volume in this series。 It's mostly the characters having long dialogues after everything that happened。 But it's not between the main 3。 This is definitely my least favorite in this series but don't get me wrong it's still really good。 I just wished the story progressed more even if we got some interesting topics that they talk about。 I have no idea how this will end。 。。。more

The homophobe friend gets WAY too much time and sympathy， but the Masaumi and Mami conversation/fight/heart to heart was fantastic

There was definitely some problematic rhetoric in this volume， but I felt like it turned itself around by the end。 I really loved the portrayal of so many tough conversations and big emotions between the characters！

Blue Flag goes into the final act as the truth is now out。 Without spoilers I really love ALOT here。 I think there's some powerful speeches from people。 I think feelings finally are starting to get resolutions。 I think people are being HONEST with each other。 I think the truths of why people have certain view points are finally coming out in interesting ways。 I think a lot of it works。 I will say it gets ham-fisted at points。 This happened before but there's a 5 way argument that feels WAY to sc Blue Flag goes into the final act as the truth is now out。 Without spoilers I really love ALOT here。 I think there's some powerful speeches from people。 I think feelings finally are starting to get resolutions。 I think people are being HONEST with each other。 I think the truths of why people have certain view points are finally coming out in interesting ways。 I think a lot of it works。 I will say it gets ham-fisted at points。 This happened before but there's a 5 way argument that feels WAY to scripted at points。 It goes on too long。 There's great parts in there but overall it's a bit disjointed。 But a lot of the rest works。 There's a theme here of learning， accepting， respecting， and living life the way you see fit。 I just hope our characters can do that in the final volume coming very soon。 。。。more

Volume 7 offers an interesting perspective into the highschool mind of a boy confessed to by his best friend and a girl who harbors feelings for her bestfriend。 Complicating this is the boy likes the girls crush。 I liked this approach to this type of romance as to me it felt compelling not just for the same sex aspect of love but for the perspectives each character brought to the table and the friends or classmates around them。 Most of the volume focused on conversations with little to no action Volume 7 offers an interesting perspective into the highschool mind of a boy confessed to by his best friend and a girl who harbors feelings for her bestfriend。 Complicating this is the boy likes the girls crush。 I liked this approach to this type of romance as to me it felt compelling not just for the same sex aspect of love but for the perspectives each character brought to the table and the friends or classmates around them。 Most of the volume focused on conversations with little to no action。 I do think some of the conversation did get a little bogged down at the start as our main character， Taichi， didn’t really say much of anything and the two female classmates were going at it with one other classmates and it felt as if they were about to go in circles before stomping out。 Also， since no one was declared right or wrong it just felt， a little pointless…even if people did make compelling arguments for their case。 A traumatic situation with molestation did emerge from this conversation which I think was handled decently。 I wish the emotions were a bit higher and characters thought more about what he said。Regardless， I thought it was a nice time to see Taichi interact with other classmates for one without his friend group around him。 And lastly， Toma offered interesting perspective and even had emotions that I think anyone in his situation would feel， especially when you want to come out to those around you but you just can’t say it。 I teared up for him。 Maybe next time。Looking forward for whats next， crossing fingers and hoping for a Taichi Toma end as Taichi is looking like he is really think hard about his feelings and based on their past scenes and how close they are and act that there is probably something there。 I think Misumi may end up alone as Futaba doesn’t seem like she has strong feelings like that for her。 。。。more

Toma is out of school， out of sorts， and， after the tumultuous events of last volume， basically out to his classmates。 With Taichi at the centre of all this and his other friends involved both directly and indirectly， Toma’s certainly thrown a lot of dynamics into total chaos。 Don’t worry though， there’s never been a moment that Blue Flag couldn’t speechify。Hoo boy。 Slap on your baloney mittens because this volume is about to get ham-fisted。 Blue Flag has definitely had several large wads of tex Toma is out of school， out of sorts， and， after the tumultuous events of last volume， basically out to his classmates。 With Taichi at the centre of all this and his other friends involved both directly and indirectly， Toma’s certainly thrown a lot of dynamics into total chaos。 Don’t worry though， there’s never been a moment that Blue Flag couldn’t speechify。Hoo boy。 Slap on your baloney mittens because this volume is about to get ham-fisted。 Blue Flag has definitely had several large wads of text thrown at the reader over its run， most notably Mami’s amazing speech about the way people judge her。 This time it feels like everything is an essay being delivered by somebody and not a character moment。The book does a couple parts well - there’s a great section between Mami and Megumi （I guess Futaba technically exists at the same point in space） where they go on about Toma and then Mami wordlessly （a rarity for this volume） puts two and two together waaaaay ahead of everybody else。 It’s such a good moment and the way she and Megumi turn out to have a lot in common in terms of unrequited love is pretty sweet。There’s also a very good scene between Futaba and Taichi as they’re studying later on， where they both ask one another why they love each other and there’s no real answer - which is good because I still don’t get it either。 We get a little bit on the nose dialogue about Taichi giving up his dreams because people might not understand them which I am surprised wasn’t hammered with more force， but really doesn’t need it because it’s still super obvious。Toma’s un-chat with his brother is pretty good， even if it’s some really onerous ongoing narration and blah blah from one character。 It at least makes the older brother less of a jerk than he’s been， although Toma still won’t admit the truth to him。 This also presages a reasonably effective first-person flashback sequence at the end of the book。No， where this book dies hard is in a really awful five-way bedroom conversation that arrives like a garbage scow pulling into port and stinks about as much。 It is just this looping， relentless conversation about acceptance that by and large drove me insane。As I noted above， this particularly reads like a prepared speech rather than natural dialogue and is full of incredibly stupid rationalizations and at least one particularly ‘after school special’ moment that doesn’t work for me at all。And the false equivalencies are flying - is Futaba really going to explode if she finds out that Taichi sat between two fully clothed girls on a bed？ Really？ Hell， go for it， book， it might mean she has more than one emotion beyond ‘scared squirrel’。Then the girls in question， who have been lambasting the dudes for slugging Toma， get the old ‘perhaps by saying this to us， you are just as irrational and trying to stamp out what you do not like’ which is utterly childish （and I suppose believably teenager in a way） and doesn’t work when you acknowledge that the girls didn’t try to punch out a gay dude。There’s definitely a lot to chew on in this volume， but in a rarity for the series it caves in under its own tropes and mixes in just as much gristle with the meat for me this time around。 If you love that bedroom conversation， well， you’re going to eat this book with a spoon。 It will satisfy you completely， and that’s a promise。3 stars， however， for me。 It’s got some strong parts， some really strong parts， but they in no way overcome that bedroom scene， which is 100% the nadir of the series for me thus far。 Blue Flag’s been really good about mixing drama and nuance and layers through its run and seeing it fall all over itself in the penultimate volume gives me exactly zero joy。 。。。more

i would give this 10/5 if i could。 reading this volume reminded me again why i love this series so much。 you get everyone’s perspective and the reader is the one that gets to decide who’s in the right。 the characters are flushed out and they don’t take themselves too seriously， but they do it in a way that isn’t shallow at all， just balanced。 the art style is gorgeous as always。 i don’t think i will ever stop recommending this series！！！ the relationships between the characters are so interesting i would give this 10/5 if i could。 reading this volume reminded me again why i love this series so much。 you get everyone’s perspective and the reader is the one that gets to decide who’s in the right。 the characters are flushed out and they don’t take themselves too seriously， but they do it in a way that isn’t shallow at all， just balanced。 the art style is gorgeous as always。 i don’t think i will ever stop recommending this series！！！ the relationships between the characters are so interesting and unique。 i already know volume 8 is gonna kill me 。。。more
