Beautifully illustrated. You really get emotions through the pictures in this one. Touching story. Awfully sad. Bittersweet.
Overall a good read.

An ordinary love story about two lesbians that if they were otherwise, only few would bother to even open the book.
Two stars for the artwork, story wise it was crap.

El azul es un color cálido es la historia de Clementine, una chica normal sin ningún problema aparente hasta que conoce a Emma y ese momento será el catalizador de todos los cambios en su vida. Una historia sobre cuestionar, cambiar, luchar pero sobretodo, crecer.
Me atrajeron mucho las ilustraciones ya que tienen cierta vulnerabilidad que refleja todas las emociones de manera cruda que literalmente puedes sentirlas y eso sumado al hecho de que trata sobre la lucha de una persona con su sexualidad, ayuda bastante a comprender e identificarse con el personaje. Al final, es una hermosa historia y me fascinó cuán tierna y realista resultó ser.
El amor se consume, nos desfallece, se rompe, nos rompe, se revive… El amor no puede ser eterno, pero nos hace eternos.

I can see why this is a classic of the genre - touched me in ways I couldn't believe I can be touched.

Somehow even with all the cultural osmosis around this story, I never heard how sad it is? Ah well.

Read this Comic in German translation, as my school-level-french is not up to it and in English it would also have been a translation.
Very good coming-out story, with a few lesbian-sex-scenes.
Shows the problems gay still have with friends and family not very accepting and anti-gay-slurr.
And also the more or less normal problems which can happen in any relationship, wether hetero- or homosexual, with a hint of swinging both ways.
Sniff, very sad ending.
Mostly black-and-white.
Will watch the Blu-ray of the film these days, which according to the last page in the comic had drawn some critic for being overly sexual, probably straying in to (Soft-)Porn-territory. The author Julie Maroh said that obviously the film was made with a male mind-set of what Lesbians-Sex/Love-Live should be, not having consulted with real Lesbians. And the two female leads also said they felt exploited.
So, in Germany this only warranted an FSK 16-Rating, which translates to "Not for Teens under 16 (and no children)".
After watching the movie I will add to the review.

c’était juste triste. même leur histoire d’amour est pas saine… l’écart d’âge me gêne beaucoup surtout lorsque que une des deux est mineur et que sa sexualité nous est montré… aucune communication et aucun respect des limites de la perso, pas ouf tout ca.
deux étoiles quand même parce que suis gentille et ça ma occupé.
