Read in English on MangaDex | Original Artist
It took me a bit to think of a good title for this one - I like titles to keep a nice flow to them if they're not short and plainly obvious. Originally it was "Let's Meet in Spring When the Flowers Bloom," which I thought was super cute. But then I got to the back page which I had previously ignored - and saw that the title came from a Japanese saying that I had never heard of before. Of course. The author helpfully posted a link about the saying though, guess it's not too common if that needs to be done, so I feel less bad about it. Anyways, the saying is "花咲く春にあう," literally something like "Come to meet the flowering spring," a metaphor for someone coming into a good part of their life. It even was made punny, by having meet be in the conditional form aou instead of just au, which makes it sound like aoi, or blue. Hence, the theme of blue flowers. I don't think it would be possible to pay me to think of a way to make that work in English, so I ended up just having "blooming in your life" be the biggest pun. I tried hard!
Also, I originally started this doujinshi over a year ago, and then suddenly remembered I had it and decided to finish it, so you can see a bit of a quality difference between the first 10 or so pages and the rest. But it's not too bad so I didn't want to go back and re-do them.
