Somehow, this isn't the manga with LGBT themes and "Blue" in the title that everyone thought would be licensed. It's also pretty interesting that they're releasing a Square Enix title.

I'll probably pick this up, because it sounds like something I'd like.

It seems like more LGBT themed manga are being licensed lately, which makes me really glad since I just got Volume 1 of "My Brother's Husband" and I ended up loving it. The fact that this is currently running in a Shounen magazine in Japan really interests me.

I saw some stuff about the series on Twitter a few months ago and was hoping it would get licensed. It looks really cute.

I'm loving how much LGBT manga we're getting lately! I'll be sure to show support with my wallet so this trend will hopefully continue.

I'm especially intrigued by this one, since it's running in a shonen magazine.

The Jump+ Ao no Flag? Feels like theyd add that to their free site first via all their other jump+ mangas there (Asta in space, etc)

So will Sublime be releasing it, or Viz proper?

Viz proper I'd imagine Sublime titles it was announced at Viz's panel the Sublime series are generally announced at the Sublime industry panels.

Hmmm... Okura seems to be a gei comi artist, so I suspect this will be more of a "real" gay story than we usually see in mainstream manga. The original webcomic looks fine, although not very modern-shounen; I suspect they added a different artist to make it more commercially viable.

It's not a BL manga, so definitely not SuBLime. I guess they might put it under one of their prestige imprints for more visibility, or more likely just under the general Viz imprint.
