Monotone Blue

Monotone Blue is a sweet yet more dark one shot written by Nagabe with a unique art style. We follow the 2 main characters Hachi and Aoi on them slowly starting to take interest in eachother. This is a BL I found at a comic store and was like "hell yeah gay furries" I'm pleasantly surprised that it is way more then that, the book touches on themes of discrimination, sexuality, SA, and to some extent transphobia. This is something I'd recommend to some not all based on those things. \ personally found it interesting and it kept me reading. I didn't want to go to muchinto this work since I feel like it'd ruin such a short read.

first of all , CW for sexual violence / sexual assault in this manga onto my review : i thought that the original oneshot , Escalate , was better . some things about the characters were changed , i thought Aoi especially was more interesting in the original , but i also liked Hachi better in the original too that being said , this was still an enjoyable manga . i might have enjoyed it more if i wasnt biased from reading the oneshotthis was based on first / i wasnt expecting things to be different . the art was pretty , some parts made me laugh , and i enjoyed the trio of side characters a lot actually not that long either , so even if you don't enjoy it it's not a big deal . id reccomend it to anyone who can handle the heavy content alongside the lighthearted moments
