Synopsis

The world through a cat's perspective is limited to the colors of blue, yellow, black, and white. Due to this condition, the feline Hachi has found life monotonous and remains apathetic at school. In class, his attention always drifts away, but a new transferee may be able to shake up his tranquil world.

Being in a student body full of furry animals, the lizard Aoi is someone fresh and interesting to everyone's eyes. He is intelligent, mannerly, and wears ample clothing even in the summer. Despite the new kid on the block, Hachi initially does not waver. However, a chance encounter soon leads Hachi to witness Aoi's secret: his tail emits a wholly different shade—a color Hachi has never seen before.

As he observes Aoi's brightly twinkling skin, Hachi stands in awe and desires to see this hidden spectacle once more. The two exchange their personal wishes, and soon Hachi's monotone blue life shifts into a vivid blue.

first of all , CW for sexual violence / sexual assault in this manga

onto my review :

i thought that the original oneshot , Escalate , was better . some things about the characters were changed , i thought Aoi especially was more interesting in the original , but i also liked Hachi better in the original too

that being said , this was still an enjoyable manga . i might have enjoyed it more if i wasnt biased from reading the oneshot ...

Monotone Blue is a sweet yet more dark one shot written by Nagabe with a unique art style. We follow the 2 main characters Hachi and Aoi on them slowly starting to take interest in eachother. This is a BL I found at a comic store and was like "hell yeah gay furries" I'm pleasantly surprised that it is way more then that, the book touches on themes of discrimination, sexuality, SA, and to some extent transphobia.
This is something I'd recommend to some not all based on those things.
\ personally found it interesting and it kept me reading. I didn't want to go to much ...

Mild spoilers below, only to issue a content warning for this series:
I haven’t seen anyone mention this online yet, but: Based on the events of the manga (and its very short almost-NSFW precursor, “Escalate”), there is some room to interpret the lizard character as a trans man/transmasculine person. It’s nearly impossible to find a Boy’s Love manga with a trans male lead, so it was a pleasant surprise.

This is important to mention because there is a depiction of sexual assault that is coded as transphobia in this manga. There’s no graphic sexual imagery, but I definitely still struggled with the scene in question. There’s also ...
