Blue Hearts, much like the author's previous work Re:Life, is a well paced slow burn through the issues that society can throw at its characters. What do I mean by this? The series follows a relatively episodic format, dealing with each character's backstory in turn. The result is a very well fleshed out main cast and some very strong dynamics between them, with the drawback that the plot is relatively weak. That being said, the characters and pacing are more than good enough to carry you to the end without getting bored, so unless you only care about the story this won't ever drag on. Alongside itsstrong emotional core of characters, Blue Hearts also deserves some praise for the way it portrays its larger cast and the social issues they all tackle together. Without giving too much away, Blue Hearts deftly touches on suicide, social outcasting and even gender dysmorphia. What I really appreciated was that Blue Hearts didn't make a spectacle out of these topics but instead treated them with respect, acknowledging the misunderstandings that can lead to them without belittling the core causes or the effects they can have.

At this point, you should have a good idea of whether or not Blue Hearts is on your radar or not, and I've praised it enough for one review. The last thing I'll say for anyone still on the fence is that Blue Hearts is very well-paced and only 64 chapters of manhwa, which you can easily finish in a day, so give it a go, it's good.
