About this deal

This is important to mention because there is a depiction of sexual assault that is coded as transphobia in this manga. There’s no graphic sexual imagery, but I definitely still struggled with the scene in question. There’s also

Como me pasa con otros tomos únicos, el final es lo que menos me ha gustado, me ha parecido un poco abrupto y que deja mucho sin contar. Esto es un arma de doble filo, porque aunque deje algo de descontento al leerlo, también da pie a una posible continuación. But what really makes Monotone Blue stand out as a romance manga, and as a manga about anthropomorphic animals in school, is the way Nagabe cultivates atmosphere in the world of the story. The wide, empty panels and closeups on hands and tails instead of faces create a sense of isolation and intimacy simultaneously. Aoi and Hachi are both uncomfortable in the school environment, but together they manage to create a space where they can feel safe. The past few weeks you may have seen a server error or two on the steganography tool. These intermittent errors were a byproduct of the recent server move and have now been fixed.

La relación que va surgiendo entre Hachi y Aoi me ha gustado mucho y muy natural. Con el paso de las horas, ambos se acercan, pero todavía existe cierta distancia entre ellos que dificulta su entendimiento. Esto lleva a algunos momentos intensos que me ha gustado sobre todo por la expresividad de los dibujos y su dinamismo. Un lagarto llamado Aoi llega a un instituto repleto de mamíferos, en el que estudia el gato Hachi. Algo que, para la rutina aburrida de Hachi, tampoco significa nada. Sin embargo, después de clase, entrevé el secreto de Aoi, un intensísimo color azul que le provoca un despertar. Aunque Aoi se empeñe en ocultarlo, Hachi le hace una propuesta... Aunque la historia de estos dos animales parece sencilla y predecible en un inicio, todo tiene más profundidad y oscuridad de lo que parece. Nagabe aprovecha para explorar temas bastante importantes y duros, que no voy a desvelar, pero que le dan un giro a este tomo que lo hace más interesante. I haven’t seen anyone mention this online yet, but: Based on the events of the manga (and its very short almost-NSFW precursor, “Escalate”), there is some room to interpret the lizard character as a trans man/transmasculine person. It’s nearly impossible to find a Boy’s Love manga with a trans male lead, so it was a pleasant surprise. En definitiva, un manga breve y entretenido de leer que, si bien no es un imprescindible, sí toca temas muy interesantes.

The anthropomorphic animal of it all isn’t just a story in Monotone Blue.Instead, it’s crucial to understand how the characters move through the world and how they connect to each other. Instead of focusing on the common theme of predator versus prey, Monotone Bluelooks at the world through the monotone eyes of a cat and how it brightens when a lizard with a blue tail walks into it. As much as the beautiful art captures the animal characteristics of the cast of characters, it’s how Nagabe captures their emotions and animalistic qualities when it comes to love that makes this one-shot shine. For Hachi, his territorial behaviors and solitude make his feeling of romance extremely intense. But for Aoi, his fear and past trauma, coupled with his urge to run and protect himself, make his walls almost too high for Hachi to scale. This complexity and how Nagabe unfolds each layer helps set this apart from other anthropomorphic stories. The only fault that Monotone Bluehas is that it isn’t a full series. With two compelling characters that begin working through the emotions and hang-ups with connecting to others, I want more. It feels like the story just ends with so much more to be said between the two. Having reached across their insecurities it feels too unresolved not even to get a small epilogue. With gorgeous art and an array of emotions, I want more Monotone Blueand hope Nagabe will add to the one-shot as other mangaka have done.

In Monotone Blue, Nagabe tries his hand at a different setting and world to explore a romance developing between an anthropomorphic cat and his new lizard classmate.
