Just no. I did not enjoy this at all. It was horrible. The art style was ok but that’s about it. Hated the story too

I really like Nagisa Furuya-san's works and this was no exception. Their ability to write and visually depict the emotions of a teen boy who is going through an understandably change of emotions upon realizing their feelings for their friend is so great. It's so sweet how everything comes together at the end. It's the perfect book to sit back to and read. I really recommend anyone to read this manga.

A cute story. I honestly like the art and how it was told. I think my only problem is the execution, there some inconsistencies as well. Overall, it was good read.

Beautifully drawn !!! I was a big fan of My Summer of You, so I was very excited to read this one, and I loved it just as much !!! A very sweet story, and I loved how one friend was so oblivious, whilst the other was not.

Short and sweet, Nothing game changing but still adorable. Although it doesn’t change the genre there is still a definite need for books like this to exist. I thought it was super cute and loved how it showed both their feelings.

I've read four books by this author. This is the best one. The emotional core of the story is realistic and writen well. The characters are realistic and interesting. The development of the romance was also very realistic. At the same time if was deeply emotional and heartfelt. I loved it.

My Ultramarine Sky by Nagisa Furuya is a captivating manga that explores themes of love, loss, and self-discovery with stunning artwork and compelling storytelling. Furuya's illustrations are breathtaking, bringing the characters and their emotions to life on the page. The narrative is both poignant and thought-provoking, drawing readers into the protagonist's journey as they navigate through the complexities of life and relationships. While some readers may find the pacing a bit slow at times, the depth of character development and emotional resonance more than make up for it. My Ultramarine Sky is a must-read for fans of manga looking for a beautifully crafted story that will stay with them long after they finish reading.

My Ultramarine Sky by Nagisa Furuya
⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

A short and sweet manga about childhood friends turning into something more. There was nothing really special about the story, it was fairly generic, but I can't help myself from feeling giddy when I read these typical BL stories. As always, I wish there were more to the story, but everything was wrapped up nice and neat. I read this in about 45 minutes, so if you're looking for a cute manga to sneak into your day, this cute one could be for you!

Another beautiful manga! I loved the art style and the story so far. This was very cute and a nice friends to lovers story. It is a slow pace for their relationship, but the drawing really portrays and displays so many emotions as you read.

A lighthearted romance between two high school boys who have been friends for a while and are unaware of the romantic feelings they have for each other. For the first time in years they are not in the same class and realize how much they miss being around each other. Overall, a cute romance for those looking for an easy read.

This was so cute! Nicely drawn and carefully plotted. Both Ren and Kai were relatable and you will find yourself rooting for both of them immediately.

The story was cute but I would have liked it to go a little deeper. The theme was nice, with this secret confession of one's love for the other. The story develops around this secret. The drawings are pretty, the pace calm (perhaps a little too calm, in fact). The characters are endearing, but I wasn't greatly moved by their emotions either. I missed something to be totally convinced.

Two guy friends, Kai and Ren, have been sitting together in the same classes since middle school but find themselves separated in their last year of highschool. Kai feels Ren slipping away but whispers his true feelings which Ren hears. Though a short, slow burn read, this was a cute, soft boys love. Thanks NetGalley and Kodansha for the copy!

Thanks NetGalley and Kodansha Comics for this arc!

5/5 stars!

This was just so sweet, and such a fast read! I forgot it was just a single volume and was sad when it ended lol. LOVED it!

This is a really cute manga. It is very predictable but I'm still a fan. I love our two characters, Kai and Ren. They are so completely oblivious of the other's feelings. But eventually one of them confesses and their friendship is put to the test. Overall, if you are a romance fan I think that you'll like this sweet manga.

I am officially a fan of this woman. While it is true that you can already see what stories to expect from her, this time she did much better than the previous time. It's the typical love story of childhood friends in which one turns out to feel something more for the other, but she worked it in a way that makes it feel new.

Nagisa's art also improved in this volume, giving more life to the characters and better working on the atmosphere in different scenes. There were emotional moments that felt genuine enough to make me hold my breath. All the details are well taken care of, giving a more solid result.

I feel like the story could have given more of itself in some way. Either being a little more extensive, although not a series of several volumes, or with something that makes it more original. Don't get me wrong: I like some clichés if they're done well, and Nagisa undoubtedly nailed that with this story, but it was missing something extra to give it more personality.

With all this, it's a beautiful story of self-discovery, honesty, friendship, and fears. I liked both Ren and Kai as characters, and the development was better than before. It's a perfect read to daydream for a long time and let yourself be carried away by the emotions that sometimes remain hidden. Definitely recommended.

Kai and Ren have always been best friends who sat next to one another, and flirted for the entertainment of their friends. But is it really all for show?

This wasn't an especially deep manga, but it's sweet and fairly enjoyable with a good range of characters. Gave me exactly the warm feelings I wanted it to.

I haven't read a manga in a really long time, and I forgot how much I enjoy them! I'm a sucker for the friends to lovers trope and My Ultramarine sky didn't disappoint. It was a very cute read. Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read it!

My Ultramarine Sky is about 2 best friends that have been together since middle school and for most of high school, that are in separate classes for the first time ever. This new situation only reaffirms to Kai that he is and always has been in love with his best friend. Ren on the other hand is clueless and confused. But an accidental confession makes both boys reevaluate what they are to each other.
As much as I love Nagisa Furuya's brand of shounen-ai, "school boys fall in love" stories, they can feel repetitive and don't really stand out. So when I want a light, story of high school boys discovering their feelings for each other they will be my go to and my recommendation but honestly their stories and art are starting to run together. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you to Netgally and the publisher for this ARC.

Honestly, this manga is just uneventful. The characters aren’t compelling. The only character I found interesting was the side character, Kaname Tajima. He is the only character who wasn’t a carbon copy of many other tropes I’ve read before. This story is one I’ve read 100 times. There absolutely nothing different about it.
