Transparent Light Blue - Reviews

A love triangle threatens the friendship stability of three childhood friends. The manga portrays the conflict between trying to gloss over any awkwardness and complicating emotions in order to maintain peace and the desire to be honest about one's emotions despite the rifts it might cause. It shows the sensuality and intimacy of ear-cleaning. What Ricchan is listening to on feir headphones ends up becoming an important plot point, I guess, though I honestly thought that it was a pretty mediocre development with a strangely intense reaction from Ichika. I also felt that the way the title was brought into the story was cheesy and entirely unnecessary. I like the artwork. It's very well-drawn. There is almost constant blushing and quite a few scenes with tearful eyes.
