Holiday Review: THAT BLUE SKY FEELING

2018 was a good year for LGBTQ manga in general.  It wasn't just the usual BL and yuri titles, but we saw a lot more slice-of-life style manga about gay kids growing up.

THAT BLUE SKY FEELING (Sorairo Flutter), written by Okura & art by Coma Hashii.  First published in 2017 and first published in North America in 2018.




PLOT:

Dai is a happy-go-lucky kid who is hoping that this time around, he'll stay at this school long enough to make some friends.  Right away he latches onto Sanada, a solitary boy whom his classmates avoid because of rumors of him being gay.  Dai is determined to not let that get to him, but the more he tries to get Sanada to open up and smile, the more Sanada pushes back and confuses him.  As time goes on, Dai starts to wonder how to get Sanada to befriend him, but why it's so important to him.
