Yagate Kimi ni Naru

I enjoyed it very much.

The Story felt like something that could happen and was amusing to watch.

Had great character development and a good mcs.

Art style was smooth and enjoyable to look at and fit the genre very well.

Most of the side characters were well done, i would have liked to have seen them more and have them be more explored tehn just staying on the sideline.

The only thing I somewhat disliked is Sayaka, she just felt bland and the only thing she had for her was liking Nanami.

I liked it from the beginning to the end a worthy read for every manga fan. 9/10

A beautiful story of adolescence and learning to grow up and understand love, Bloom Into You is a beautiful 45-chapter delight that includes many heartfelt emotions that made my heart throb and made me want to cry. It’s such a beautiful story, and finishing it has left me very satisfied. Though it pains me that the story could not last longer, I’m glad it ended on the highest note.
If you can, definitely give this a read and try to support the official release, because this manga is truly, a work of art. There’s so many elements of the story that I truly enjoy, and these characters are incredibly human in portrayal. Many, even the side characters, have multiple dimensions to them, and while the story primarily focuses on Yuu and Touko, the author does shine light on the others as well. Overall, I think this has to be one of my favorite mangas I’ve ever read. It was a great time from start to end. The heartwarming romance made my heart pound fast and strong, it made me feel tenderness and vulnerability, the good kind of feeling that you want to experience when a story tries to touch your heart gracefully. Honestly, while I can’t speak for myself, I do know that this manga will be a life changing experience for at least several otaku and weeb out there in the world. I loved every chapter from beginning to end... though I may wait a while before rereading because this story is truly powerful.

(Both the manga and the anime are absolutely worth your time and this recommendation touches on both and what makes each unique.)

Bloom into You follows 15 year old Yuu in her first year of high school. She loves to read shojo manga and finds joy in seeing romances unfold in the pages of those stories, but she feels a deep frustration and guilt in her inability to reach and grasp those emotions herself. She understands the meaning behind the words, but the words are never 'hers'. When she confides in her senpai, Touko Nanami, about how to react to a confession from an old friend, Yuu's ecstatic to find someone who's also never fallen in love then confused and initially distraught to see Nanami quickly developing an attraction to her. Behind the front of student council formalities, Yuu and Nanami's relationship leaps from mere friendship to an odd, doting one-sided romance whose form wobbles and bends as both characters become more and more intimately familiar with how the other thinks, what kind of a person they are and the secrets they keep locked deep inside. Bloom into You, or "Eventually, I'll become you" (the less artful, blunter and more accurate translation of the Japanese title) is unique in that both Yuu and Nanami are drawn to the other girl's current self whilst chasing desperately to reinvent themselves, and that brings in a lot of fascinating questions about the difficulty of love in the face of change, sustaining a relationship with someone becoming a different 'them' to who you fell for.

I think the singular aspect of this series that this series absolutely nails is its characters. Almost all of the side characters are brimming with personality even when they get very little time to shine (there's more than just these but i'll keep to just three for the sake of being concise and dodging side characters whose appeal is best explained in more spoilerific terms)- Koyomi's a budding writer absorbed in writing a novel, at the expense of her sleep and schoolwork. Rei, Yuu's older sister, cottons on to Yuu's bubbling feelings and the broad strokes of the complexion of Yuu's dynamic with Nanami relatively early on and she's a very accepting and wholesome figure throughout the story. Maki's an asexual boy on the student council who takes great pride in watching Yuu care more and more for Nanami, cheering her on from the sidelines.

The side characters help ground the world and origins of the main characters, the real stars of the show. Yuu's quickly become one of my favourite protagonists in this medium and I don't quite have the words to place why. Part of it's the commitment to candidness and the deep mining of her thought process, something afforded to Nanami and Sayaka to an admirable degree too but pushed to 11 for the protagonist from whose perspective the story is told. As someone with a history of depression, the imagery of sinking and being unable to reach your feelings at the surface/trying to take flight but being tethered to the ground struck a personal chord, that's certainly a part of the affinity I have with her. There's also the unique way Bloom constructs her exclusion as self-inflicted and separates her from caring, loving friends not by their malice or ignorance but an aversion to confessing her experiences to people that couldn't be able to relate. More so than that, in a way I can't quite word, I feel a little piece of myself sparking, alive on the screen (or paper) when I watch (or read), a me I hadn't met before. Yuu is a me I'd be proud to become some day, and a person I couldn't be more thankful that I met.

Yuu may be outstanding, but Nanami more than pulls her weight too and her constant pressing and prodding of Yuu's limits, her fluctuation between her public and private faces, and the lifelike, human realism allotted to her mental health are another core artery in the heart of Bloom's appeal. Nanami isn't the perfect model student she'd like you to believe her to be, and it's convincingly conveyed that her academic, posh and pretty front is little more than a fragile facade. It inspires who she lets in under her armor: Yuu, whose inability to see anyone else as 'special' is a captivating reprieve to Nanami from her act; and her longtime friend, student council colleague and amazing third main character Sayaka Saeki, a trustworthy and perceptive friend who knows her boundaries and is fine not to tread any further than that despite the love she feels for Nanami. It's in supporting characters like Saeki where the series interacts most with sexuality, talking about how a bad experience can lead to repression and conveying the need for more and more representation to normalise homosexuality for kids just coming to terms with it. Surprisingly the main narrative doesn't really discuss homosexuality or the surrounding climate around it at all, beyond a little line near the beginning where Yuu's surprised about how comfortable she is with the concept of dating a woman, and a later line where Rei thinks about different family members and how accepting they would be in the situation that Yuu and Nanami's started publicly dating.

Bloom is a lot about tiptoeing around the philosophies that Nanami internalised in the wake of her past and building up to a point where softly, with love and care, the two of them can talk it out and confront those beliefs in a soft, careful and nurturing manner to work past them. It's more of a character study than a romance (certainly so for most of the parts covered by the show, at least) partly because of its focus on mental health. It asks its characters 'does the person you care for need a friend rather than a lover right now?' It's respectful and nuanced in its portrayal of mental health, it's not minimising, stigmatising or stereotyping, and its all about the long process of moving past such issues with the help of a few good friends.

To compare the manga and anime, first off I wanted to cover the dimensions of art and sound. The manga is better in that it captures emotion in its facial expressions in a much more subtle, precise and consistent way that makes the anime in certain scenes look sloppy in comparison and hamstrings the manga's outstanding
success at communicating detail with 'show don't tell'. The art in the anime is propped up by the backgrounds and the richness of the colour palette (both of which are absolutely gorgeous). The voice acting in the Japanese dub is genuinely stellar, emotional and personal and serves to compensate for where the animation of characters faces would dissolve the emotional punch of the manga. Michiru Oshima's soundtrack also serves to build a serene, mundane and peaceful atmosphere in the background to Yuu and Nanami's daily lives. It also knows when to shut up, and gains power in its scarcity and measured usage- some of the most powerful scenes in the anime are silent and punctuated by shrill, unforgettable sound design. Keep an eye (and ear) out every time you notice a train.

The anime is notably slower-paced than the manga (which can cause quite a whiplash when reading the rest after you complete the anime, especially because the ending few chapters are really rushed. I'll get to that). This works wonders in the first two episodes, where it languishes in the beautiful atmospheres it concocts, lives in the moments it creates and eases the viewer into the series better than the manga does. But in the middle of the series this serves to artificially slow down a manga that has found a more balanced and effective rhythm and makes it drag more than it should, though this is by no means a colossal flaw.

The anime was only adapted for one cour and past where the anime ends the manga hurtles at a breakneck pace for nearly twenty chapters, never stopping or taking the resolution of a story arc as an excuse to slow down and smell the roses, expanding upon the lovingly rendered but largely ignored cast of side characters. I think that's a big mistake. And the way that arc was resolved seemed odd in how little tension there was in its conclusion. It seems to me that 1) Nio Nakatani chose too simple an ending because they wanted to see characters they loved end in a completely tied up, happy manner in disregard of an accurate simulation of what would have happened in a situation like that if treated on its own terms, or 2) Nio Nakatani was rushing to conclude the series rapidly in a short number of chapters for some reason. What we got was great but truncated, riddled with large gaps unnaturally unfilled. It also means it's reasonably unlikely we're going to get a Bloom into You season 2 as there's not enough chapters to fit a cour- though a season 2 would certainly work given some well-written and placed filler. Adapting some of the short stories in the Bloom into You Comic Anthology would be a great start for that (12 other mangaka drew a chapter of manga each as a fanfiction about parts of the Bloom cast. It's inconsistent but beautiful, the cheesecake chapter especially is brilliant. It's worth a read once you're finished with the series).

Bloom into You is a gorgeous yuri romance demonstrating a masterful talent in building and breaking down multifaceted, layered and human characters, a series I learned a lot about myself from reading, and a series that I'll cherish for years to come.

Plot: [take in account that this is the first yuri manga I read] In my humble opinion at the beginning it's a bit hard to feel the characters, to catch their feelings. And then, while you start knowing every character, it ends. I think that the author could had spread the story in a more balanced way in all the manga numbers. But I guess that can be liked by everyone. It's a nice love story.

Drawings: wonderfully digitally made with clean and straight strokes. Easy to read.

Conclusion: after an impulsive beginning everything will become more clear and when you'll get in touch with characters' feelings it suddenly ends. This can bother, but the story is very good and can be moving.

Extra: I liked the cartoon between the chapters, there are some very funny!

My favorite yuri manga. Free of clichés or silly/dragged out drama unlike most serialized yuri stories. The story and plot so far is interesting and well done. Every chapter doesn't end up with a cliffhanger or dramatic twist and still it leaves you wanting for more/knowing what's next.
The characters are great and complex, the development is shaping very nicely too.
Something that stands out a lot for me is that there are a lot of subtle visual details most people don't notice (even I didn't until some anons on 4chan pointed them out) that make a really awesome example of "show, don't tell". Some of these details contrast scenes from earlier chapters to the most recent ones, to show Yuu's character development.
Another positive aspect is the pacing, it's perfectly paced.
The art is pretty good so that's a plus. Also... (SPOILER ALERT )

................................................ and lastly, watching mc Yuu slowly fall in love is one of the cutest things I've ever seen in romance :3

So, I'll be up-front in saying that I have not read a lot of manga, barely a handful of series, and I watched the anime adaptation of YagaKimi before picking up the manga to finish off the story. I'll also be up-front in saying that it is my #1 all-time favorite anime, so its possible I may be a little biased.

An absolutely fantastic yuri story, easily the best one that I am familiar with. The story sort of jumps right into the water with an early confession, but due to Koito Yuu's personality, sexuality and lack of experience she doesn't really know how she feels. Or rather... she doesn't *think* she knows what she feels, consciously. Sub-consciously...? Expecting fireworks, she is disappointed when she feels (or believes she feels) nothing at all, and is left uncertain; she *likes* her senpai that is clear, not just to the reader but to her. But.. does she like her enough?

Nakatani Nio did a superb job with dialogue, pacing and scene set up with YagaKimi, showing a very, very realistic portrayal of teenage first love - uncertainties, fears, anxieties. The characters (mainly Koito Yuu and, later on, Nanami Touko) spend a lot of time on introspection, trying to figure out their emotions and desires while at the same time, wrestling with an over-arcing shadow that seems to hang over the Yuu and Touku and to a lesser extend Saeki Sayaka.

Overall, I think it does a pretty good portray of some labels (heh, we all hate but love labels, right?) within the LGBTQ+ community, though I won't spoil the exact details here - a number of different types of sexuality show up, outside of the usual 'hetero, gay/lesbian' which is pretty great.

This story.. if I wasn't concerned with spoilers I could talk for hours. Moments of joy, sorrow, fear and uncertainty. Jealousy, anger and even depression. But, through it all a slow-building exploration of what it means to not just 'fall in love' but also to CHOOSE to love, and that last part I think is what makes this story extra special. Far too often, in fiction and in life, people will let love slip by them while they wait for that legendary feeling of fireworks, of the instant blossoming of both love and desire, rather than seeing a subtle, quiet love right in front of them and reaching out to grab it.

8 volumes, 45 chapters and honestly, its just not enough. Two anthologies, and still not enough of these wonderful people - maybe we'll get lucky and Nakatani-san will someday decide to revisit Yuu and Touko and the rest.

Once you've read the 45 main-story chapters, I *highly* recommend checking out the anime adaptation - it covers chapters 1 through to 24 in *incredible* detail. Not only were there no scenes from the manga left out, but the scenes present were expanded on and so beautifully constructed, with what feels like a perfect score. TROYCA outdid themselves.

Nakatani Nio outdid herself. I havn't read her other works, but I intend to; that being said, Yagate Kimi ni Naru has set an incredibly high bar.

If you like romance, if you like explorations of not just emotion but also the psychology of being a teen then you really need to read this manga. If you like the yuri genre, then you are absolutely doing yourself a grave disservice if you do not read this. The Citrus manga was great. Kase-san series is fantastic. Bloom, while shorter, tops both of them.

PS: There are three spin-off light novels, "Regarding Saeki Sayaka", that are also incredible and must-reads for fans of this series. The two anthologies are wonderful, but I've read that they are only somewhat canon, and so you *could* skip them if you really wanted... but, why would you?

Everything is a 10/10. Except character, we can all agree that Touko is a little selfish- Okay she is REALLY selfish. But the personality trait comes form unwanted trauma. Usually with these kinds of things, it cliché. But Yagate kimi ni naru really further develops this trauma building a great character like Touko. And the way Yuu interacts with Touko just really makes sense, based off of her personality. These two character creates a really great story to both read and watch. With every chapter and episode there is meaning and development. The ending was satisfying, wish there was more, like a slice of life continuation.

What we need is a season 2 of this manga since I had to pick this up to know what happens towards the end.

I wrote a review on the anime and seeing how they share similar theme of identity, it’s both great to read or watch the anime. I did both as I really loved the anime and read this afterwards.

Sometimes we question in life who is the real us but the answer isn’t that simple. As we all wear mask as we are a different person to different people and that’s not terrible in itself. There’s different time we need to be different people so it’s easier not for us but for them.
Bloom into you captured that nicely with the play and it basically shares the beautiful overall theme of blooming or blossom. The romance was a plus and the characters are all like able. I didn’t find anyone I hated or couldn’t stand. I enjoyed even the supporting cast and the subplots were nice too. The dialogue and conversation were great on the side.

There’s not much flaw to this that I can see, I mean if you don’t like Yuri then don’t bother reading this. Even if you don’t like Yuri I mean the plot of identity is really what get me curious about this anime as I didn’t watch it before because it was Yuri. And I read this manga mainly because I don’t know if we’ll get a season 2. I recommend watching the anime as they both basically share the same exact thing but I love the music and voice acting and read the second half to finish season 2.

Worth a read if you enjoy the theme of identity and learning to be you. That it’s okay to try to be like someone because others inspire you. It’s okay to change as we all grow eventually and sometimes people grow apart but love binds us forever.

Yagate Kimi ni Naru is at the top of my list in the Yuri genre. Unlike most retrospect Yuri manga there's a solid reason why this manga is considered the very best for me.

Plot/Story : The plot itself is significant and very unpredictable which is an element you rarely find in manga nowadays. The originality is the best part of this manga in my opinion. It revolves around 2 girls with very different approach to 'love' and has very different ways of defining it. Whereby one has achieved the ability to love and another has not yet*. As the story progress we see the main protagonist making agonizing decisions questioning herself if she should allow her feelings to flow or to put a stop to it. If she falls in love she will lose her partner. But if she keep her feelings bottled up she would still be with her partner but not be able to express anything. This puts a strain on their relationship and raises questions on whether to suppress her feelings or not. Heart-wrenching and painful to read but very immersive. I rate 10/10

Art : Like many other manga out there the winning card is on the art. Yagate Kimi ni Naru is no different. Its an eye candy for those who enjoy good art. The artist (Nakatani) does the job well and doesn't cut corners. The art style is very manga-like meaning its very common but that doesn't mean it isn't good. Its neat and comfortable for the eyes. I personally really enjoy the art style but feel like there is a slight hint of 'chibi-ness' in the art which really adds to the character. I rate 9/10

Character : Unlike most manga's Yagate Kimi ni Naru's characters are slightly more special. They don't revolve around the plot or the surroundings rather they are THE plot. As you read you don't feel like the characters are purposely placed in the setting but rather the setting works to their characters. There is plenty of character development which is a blast to read. You see progress on the character development thus you see progress on the plot. Same concept ;) I rate 10/10

Enjoyment : Overall my experience has been amazing as i flipped through the pages of this manga. There is no special fan-service or the sort in this manga. Plain and simple, this manga doesn't try to appeal to a specific type of readers but attempts to create their own readers. Partially thats why i think this manga is underrated. This manga takes story-telling differently. The twist and turns happen at the most unexpected moments and more often than once this manga is exploring a different part of a story where many manga have never done. I rate 9/10

Overall : All in all this manga has been an amazing experience. One very big downside is the slow updates. Yes, this manga is still on-going. Updates are very slow but there is still progress in the story. I really wished i had found it after it has been completed just so i can binge read this. I rate 9/10

There's a reason why this manga is on the top of my list and outshines the others and it comes from the realistic originality of the plot. Manga's tend to get real sometimes and Yagate Kimi ni Naru is one of those manga. They raise questions for the readers that leave them thinking twice in real life. It doesn't follow the cliche pattern of the usual shoujo-ai yuri manga but creates a truly different relationship between 2 girls.

Without spoiling too much, Bloom Into You is a heartwarming story about two people learning how to love each other given difficult and unforgiving setbacks. While the show ends off only about half way into the entire manga, its ending is a good place for the animation to end in order to get the audience hooked enough. Yuu's inner strife with herself propels both her and Touko to change in a more positive direction for the two of them, while smoothing out the ridges in their relationship along the way. Unlike other yuri works, this particular piece does a great job of highlighting real aspects and challenges that the lesbian community, or the lgbt community as a whole seems to have with the evolving world; Yuu's father making a comment about having a girlfriend is evident of that in the early volumes. Although the love the two have for each other seems one sided at different points throughout the entire series, the authors do a fine job at having a believable and realistic way that the two come together for their own good.

In terms of side characters, the biggest factors to the enjoyment of this series is definitely Sayaka-san; her connection to Touko and imbalanced acquaintanceship with Yuu (at first) put a strain on the overarching relationship that Touko and Yuu, while giving the audience something to ponder as to what will happen if or when Sayaka decides to do something. In the end however, as much as she wants something to happen or take things into her own hands, Sayaka-san is at the mercy of the power of love between Touko and Yuu, the two proving overtime just how difficult it is to understand the concepts of love, trust, and understanding. Bloom Into You makes a claim on the overall idea of love in today's media and traditional romance works, where typically the audience can see where a relationship might be heading because the show or book sets it up like that in the beginning; however with this piece, there is not a clear "what happens next" moment while reading. Of course one can infer and make educated guesses as to what probably will happen next, but it is the way this story is written with the dynamic of how the characters act based upon interior motives that give the story ambiguity the whole time. At times, Yuu and Touko are wrapped in each others arms but other times are left lying in their beds to wonder what the other will say if she does X instead of Y.

Ultimately, the enjoyment comes from how willing the reader wants to continue to look into the lives of a realistic story of forbidden love; it is a good story depicting the challenges people who do not know what their partner or soulmate will be like, but rather learning how to love oneself and the people that love you. This series truly has changed my outlook on the yuri genre and broke the boundary of having a love story that is clear cut and easy to understand. I would recommend this not for the girl to girl love that this story pitches, but for the complications love can be in general and how one can glean information from just watching these two learn to accept and love each other fully.

Here's my take after reading 25 Chapters of Yagate kimi ni naru by Nio Natakatani.

For those who checks my manga reading lists and reviews, I really like Shojou Ai or Yuri stories.

I have recently discovered this currently ongoing manga just a few days ago. Yagakimi is surprisingly light and easy to read similar to Asagao to Kase San.

The story revolves around Yuu Koito a junior student who adores and wishes to fall in love head over heels, and Nanami Touko a stunning student council president that does not want to do anything about accepting love confessions nor going out on a date.

Things started to get interesting when Yuu accidentally saw a failed confession of a young man to Nanami which lead to their first unlikely meeting that in turn lead to Nanami accidentally confessing to Yuu.

What I love about this story is the innocence of how it is presented to the readers. It is honest in the feelings of the characters. Yuu being confused about what she should feel but still going with the flow, and Nanami just can't help herself but to create chances to show her love and affection to the conflicted Yuu.

I can genuinely feel the reality falling in love and being confused in love. I can say that Nio-san did great on showing this to the readers with both the subtlety and frankness of the two main characters of the story. It is something that I can easily relate my feelings onto as someone who also fell in love and got confused by it.

The art is light and fresh and the story is refreshing to read. The supporting characters are also great by themselves and I can't help to think that I can easily relate to them one way or another.

What more can I say? Read it and enjoy!

I would give Yagakimi 9/10 <3

This is the best shoujo-ai *thing* I've ever seen, period. Everything in this manga is sublime, and you just need to see it for yourself to see what I'm talking about. How the story revolves around the complexity of love towards someone, how the characters in this manga are so lovable and add more to the ambience of this manga, and how there's no stereotypical r*** scenes like you would find in other shoujo-ai mangas. Oh, man, you words can't do justice for my whole experience on this manga. The anime did a superb job in enhancing the experience for anime-watchers with its directing and additional touches, but this manga still remained supreme as the predecessor. Definitely a must-read.

I wanna make this review shot and all because I don't want to waste anyone's time so I just want to get straight to the point. I will fight anyone but I think this is the BEST, and again let me repeat it, the BETS romance manga or series in general in this medium of entertainment to actually give a sense of realistic events in it. The story is so well done and I think everyone should try and read it and not judge it because of it's genre. Ut has the best art to even match up to it. I will never forget this series because honestly, I would buy all volumes of it and I encourage you guys reading his review to do so. 10/10 series I swear.

Please don't be scared away by the "10" I gave this. If you check my profile, you'll see I rarely give 9 to manga/LN I've read, even less 10.

This blew me away. This is a manga that made me consciously think about how goddamn good it was while I was reading it.
Since I don't feel like writing full paragraphs, I'll be listing bullet points.


If you don't want spoilers, skip to the TL;DR at the end


Notes:
- MC / main girl = Yuu
- even though I write off Yuu as being the "main", Touko is also really important


Initial reactions (feelings I got while reading)

- started manga for feels and fuzziness of the heart
- stayed for story, character development, art, feels and fuzziness of the heart

- wow main girl isn't some perfect / overly timid / gutless / annoyingly self-conscious shoujo character

- had she not had a pretty face (dammit, I know, I'm shallow), I most probably would've still fallen for her

- woah this is strange. The story's romantic progression is probably as slow when measuring its romprogress/chapter average compared to other romances, but somehow it isn't because of misunderstandings / fucking interruptions / cockblocking (btw this is shoujo ai) love triangles (more on this last point later). It is slow but not crammed on "comedic" filler.


Memorabilily

- I'm going to be sad when this manga ends, it's truly one of a kind


Art

- Clean and soft and simply cute but not cute to the point that you think the author's trying to manipulate your feels

- the girls are simple but they are cute

- there is enough background to not feel lost (I know, it's important), but it's still so cleaan

- I know I've said this before, but the MC is really cute


Characters

- Yuu, the main girl, isn't not confessing to her love interest because she's shy or because of some plot created cockblocking, it's because she just hasn't yet fallen for her future love interest
- She's not based off of a "dere" type and she's not timid when simply talking to her love interest

- Touko is Yuu's partner in their destined pairing.
- I'll be honest, she takes from the trope of the "perfect saint social nice girl but on the inside she isn't as strong as she shows, she's only forcing herself because of pressure".
- she declares her love early on (yay)

- other characters aren't dicks
- even the girl who creates a love triangle since she likes Touko isn't one, she takes her simple and clear rejection which doesn't create drama like a responsible teenager
- they don't create drama, even the love triangle girl


Synopsis

- clear one-on-romance.

- side character aren't dependant on main character

- girl 2 and girl 1 meet
- girl 2 falls in love and confesses to girl 1
- girl 1 doesn't feel love for girl 2 (yet), so she rejects girl 2 for now
- girl 1 and girl 2 have progression, on the way there's character development on them and also side characters (who are important)
- girl 1 eventually confesses to girl 2
- girl 1 believes girl 2 rejected her
- after 1-2 chapters of running away do to a misunderstanding of a promess (it's only 1-2 chapters, calm down), they are together
- [rest are chapters not yet released]

- you don't feel constant anguish for the predictable rejection to the side-love-triangle-girl since you know she won't be emotionally destroyed and won't wail in self-pity when she'll be rejected

- cute


Recommendation

- read it if you want clear one-on-romance.

- there is more fluff than in romcoms

- steady progression that isn't side-tracked by drama/interruptions

- cute


TL;DR

- clear girl1xgirl2 romance in typical school setting

- no drama nor cheap plot interruptions

- all characters are likeable

- story overall is filled with moments that make you go "yes!", "great assist!", "woah, she made a move this early?!", "hmm, clever wordplay" and "cute!"

- gave this a 10 because of how frequently the moments mentioned in the previous point appeared

Not just a great yuri manga but it's a great romance manga. There are many Yuri manga out there but I believe Bloom into You handles the genre with great tact and tastefulness. The characters deal with the struggles of self-identity, falling in love and how to handle a relationship. The character development is on point on all the characters, especially the main two girls. The art provides a great expression of the characters faces while also showing visual motifs that help get across what the characters are feeling. The pacing feels perfect and gets right to the point. At the time of writing this, it's almost done and I hope it sticks the landing, but I definitely recommend this manga.

Mira wey, la neta esta medio rara la historia, yo la senti medio forzada, era obvio que se iban a enamorar porque pues de eso va el manga/anime , siento que le falto más trasfondo a la presi pero en general es disfrutable 9/10 porque me gusto que haya tenido hard y citrus no jsjsjsjs :,v

Look , is kinda strange the story, I felt it half forced, it was obvious that they were going to fall in love because that's what the manga / anime is about, I feel that the kaicho lacks more background but in general it is enjoyable 9 / 10 because I liked that it had hard and citrus not

Hello!
I decided to write this review because I am really digging for an anime adaption of this beautiful manga.

If you are a person who enjoys shounen ai, or shoujo ai, like me, then you will extremely enjoy this heart-felt, genuine manga, that is surprisingly very realistic. I have never read a shoujo ai manga as focused on the topic like this one before. I can also relate to Yuu (Protagonist) very much with her feeling of not loving (Well...we all know that will change soon...)

ALl the character's in this are amazing, though I sometimes get angry at Sayaka because she sometimes gets in the way of Yuu and Touko's relationship...heheh.

I really want a anime version of this, as its literally my favourite manga even though its not completed yet, if we did get an anime adaption....Let's say I'd be unbelievably thrilled to bits!

I found Bloom Into You by accident - looking through 9gag and seeing one, random recommendation. If someone told me back then what kind of journey would it be, I would laugh through exhaling by a nose.

And here I am after reading all chapters there was in one day (9 September 2018 - I'll remember you) and now awaiting the last 3 chapters with lack of anticipation because I do not want to part away with characters yet, I'd like to stay with them because I want to see them Bloom further. The story in Yagate Kimi ni Naru does not really rely on Yuri, you could take away that aspect and in 3/4 it wouldn't really change, because it's just a beautiful, moving and breathtaking piece of literature about love, relationships, need for someone and how does it feel to hide and unravel your true self.

Often I felt like Bloom Into You was more of a fable than anything else, there are obvious metaphors to 'dream-like or drowning-like states' in emotions (take that in BIG '') and many hidden ones that I won't spoil for you, but when you reread the story it will make you grasp a breath little harder thanks to the emotions.

Even if you do not have anything in common with the characters, they are masterly written making it really enjoyable to unravel how are they and what do they want.

Art may do not be the most detailed you'll see but small details and places and time where a certain chapter takes place to make them - once again - beautiful like fables.

Overall I really encourage you to read Yagate Kimi ni Naru even if you do not like school settings, yuri or anything that stands in the tags because it's not the main focus of the story, sure it's part of its identity but the core is just masterful tale of love.

And well it's over ....
Yagate Kimi and Naru is Manga Shoujo Ai who is at another level of the average and in this review I come to explain my love towards this manga. For short, YagaKimi is a Shoujo Ai (Love Girl x Girl) manga that shows us that these types of stories do not always have to be linked to the Fan Service is a manga that builds a relationship so well and with such a good development that it deserves to be recognized thus. YagaKimi is a school manga where they show us Yuu, a girl who receives a confession of love that makes her heart fill with bubbles and blush, and yet, when a high school classmate confesses her feelings ... no feel nothing They show us the stereotype of a girl who wants to fall in love but doesn't feel anything and then they show us Touko a girl who can't love anyone. Here is a relationship where they will discover their feelings little by little ... but is this a good thing? is it innovative? the answer is no. YagaKimi takes the typical idea of ​​two girls in which one does not know what she feels and the other cannot be loved something already seen but the strength of YagaKimi is its development and maturity. By this I mean that the romance between the two is not forced at all, the author does not have to resort to FanService or toxic love triangles to make her story showy, the author plays with the development of each one little by little so that themselves over time and overcoming obstacles and maturing to reach a conclusion this is what makes YagaKimi work that although the genus Shoujo Ai is so frowned upon only because it is known as (two girls touching, kissing and end.) This YagaKimi leaves it aside to put a wonderful story where Romance is so well developed that it is sad that the story ends but you are satisfied. Needless to say, YagaKimi is the best Shoujo Ai I have read (I have not read many being sincere but I am sure that I will hardly find another one that overcomes it) Without lengthening me further Read more YanseKimi which is a manga that takes its genre in the way as mature as possible .... Ah YagaKimi I will miss you very much you were an incredible manga.

First loves are always the same and always different. The audacity of writer and illustrator Nio Nakatani's "Bloom Into You" lies not so much in the fact that it tells the story of a same-sex first love, but rather an honest take about a coming-of-age story that earnestly explores a complicated but satisfying relationship between two girls. While there have been plenty of romances not unlike this, there's never been one told in such an ambitiously immersive manner.

Bloom Into You focuses on Yuu Koito, a first-year student who is convinced to join her school's student council. She runs into Touko Nanami's mid-love confession, turning down the boy because she has never experienced a feeling of romance as of yet. Yuu discovers that Nanami wants to become the student council president, and decides to help her out. But out of the blue comes an awkward sentence straight from Nanami's mouth: "I think I might be falling in love with you." Although Yuu somewhat shuts down Nanami's sudden confession, she nevertheless still joins the student council to help her out with her campaign for student council presidency. As the days go by, the two start to get closer, with Nanami being more in the romantic sense and Yuu leaning towards a deeper friendship. One thing is certain between the two: In one way or another, they both desire to stay by each other's side.

Yuu and Nanami's love is the element that makes them grow as individuals and as people. Even though it is a story revolving around Yuu, it is more about Yuu helping Nanami find her true self and at the same time understanding for herself what the feeling of love really is. The struggles of both Yuu and Nanami are very real and complex but are understandable and relatable. It depicts all kinds of feelings intricately and maturely that it translates to people who have been unsure of their feelings or sexuality at some point in their lives. What makes it a compelling story is that it is not driven by pure misunderstanding and unnecessary drama as it delves into the more gradual exploration of both the characters' growth and true identity.
