Title (English) Sweet Blue Flowers

Title (Japanese) Aoi Hana

Advertising
Fantasy Novel

Notes From a yaoi manga by Takako Shimura.

Classification yuri

Synopsis Aoi Hana (Sweet Blue Flowers) is a tale of girl-girl romance among high-school girls. Fumi moves to a new district and a new school. She discovers that an old schoolfriend, A-chan, attends another school nearby. Fumi is miserable because her cousin recently got married. However she soon meets a tall and charming sempai at her new school.

Review Aoi Hana didn't stand out at first, but as I continued to follow it, I grew to like it more and more. The subject, girl-girl love among schoolgirls, is one that some will find intriguing. The characters all seemed as if drawn from life, and were never made to act out of character, as the story unfolded in a natural unforced way. In contrast to many other romance anime, there was no attempt to exaggerate or to contrive humorous situations.
While the lead character wasn't particularly good-looking, many viewers found her - or her facial expressions - very cute. I found that her habit, when alone in her room, of throwing herself down to lie contemplating the day's events, was rather charming. Partway through the series Fumi drops one relationship and continues with another. In the anime, the viewer has to infer how far these relationships went, or might go, but if you read the original manga far enough, it does eventually spell it out more explicitly. The anime artwork is done in a beautiful pastel style, that suits the story well.
