Together, they present an emotionally complex story about a relationship between two teenaged school girls. The dialogue is just as spare to match, but, like the visuals, are rich with what is implied. The visual style itself is economical and understated with striking, intelligent compositions. (Full disclosure: I am no expert in shoujo genres, and this assessment is based on my personal observations.) Although Nananan adheres to some visual trends in shoujo such as a focus on facial expressions and an exploration of interior thoughts, it lacks the melodrama and frilly visuals I often associate with shoujo genres.
Blue by Kiriko Nananan is not your typical shoujo manga.
