This volume felt like it was dragging a bit. I still want to know more about Toma and Masumi’s feelings! The cliffhanger ending interests me though, and the Blue Sketches were so cute!!

Encore une fois un superbe tome. Les personnages, l’histoire, les dessins. Tout est réunis pour en faire un coup de cœur.

Thank god I bought this volume along with the first two, because if I'd have had to wait for a resolution to Vol. 2's finale, I may have gone insane.
Luckily (spoiler) everyone's alive. And this is still a somewhat light-hearted slice-of-life manga, even though we're getting into some more complicated drama and the characters' problems are starting to hit uncomfortably close to home.
I don't have too much to discuss around Vol. 3 without spoiling anything or repeating something I've said before, but I will say that I am loving the development of Taichi and Toma's relationship. Up until this point, they've been friendly, yes, but most of the depth of their relationship has come from flashbacks to their childhood or characters telling more than showing the audience how much they care about each other. I'm glad Kaito's giving the reader the opportunity to experience it for themselves. Outside of their relationship, each Taichi and Toma are going through lots of character development on their own. Otherwise, I'm also really appreciating how Taichi and Futuba are growing closer over the course of this volume as well. As I've said many times, I often have trouble with the legitimacy of relationships in fiction due to how rushed or forced they feel. It's in Blue Flag's description—we know Futuba and Taichi have feelings for each other. I'm just glad Kaito's actually developing their friendship at a pace that'll make their eventual relationship feel genuine.
Anyway, Blue Flag is a very character-driven series, and as I'm loving and relating to the characters, I'm really enjoying it.

We pick up right where the last volume left off, and oh, my heart! Taichi needs all the hugs, and he knows Toma will forgive him. Futaba trying to help him is also so adorable. I love them and I need the next volume now!!
