Sweet Blue Flowers (Aoi Hana) Complete Series (Litebox)



A beautiful, one of a kind anime series
One of the best ever made and also a most realistic yuri (and even basic romantic relationship) portrayals of any anime Ive yet seen. Not even "fluff", but emotionally beautiful and a series far too short. A favorite and a must own.

"The Prince of Happiness"
(Review named after episode 10 of this series, a personal favorite)

Sweet Blue Flowers (Or Aoi Hana as it is dubbed in its native language) is an original story by Shimura Takako that, with a slight realist touch, blends romance, slice-of-life, and coming of age elements to form one of the finest comic series you may ever have the pleasure of reading. In 2009, Sweet Blue Flowers received a well-deserved anime adaptation, and last year, Rightstuf licensed it for English release. Finally, it has reached North American shores in physical form!

Sweet Blue Flowers is about Fumi, a young lesbian girl, her friends, and their relationships. It sounds like a fairly typical show about teenage girls, right? But it isn't. There are no major plot complications, there is no melodrama, this is a sophisticated and mature series about realistic characters engaging in a realistic manner. At first the series can come across as just a bit daunting. The viewer is dropped into a world...

A beautiful story
Whether you're into yuri anime or not, Aoi Hana is a wonderful story about falling in love with a friend, and growing up. It would be nice if they put out a second series of anime now that the manga is finished (somewhat hurriedly), but even if they don't, I think this was wrapped up in a nice way.
