My very first Manga Review and Minor Spoilers
Despite from the lack of not adapting the rest of the manga into an anime, I still love reading how Yuu Koito and Touko Nanami adapting to their life even though I subconsciously know that this perfect yuri manga is now done. I feel sad, but a relaxing happy ending wouldn’t leave me behind.
Yagate Kimi ni Naru or Bloom Into You is the highest rated Yuri manga, yet is rare to be seen by many people. In spite of girls love, not a lot of people are into this genre, but it has one of the kind story. And People Are Missing Out on this.
To its story, Touko Nanami-senpai was seen as a "Perfect" student from many people, so on that many student have tried and failed to confess their feelings to her, even a girl!! (she's that perfect). One day, Yuu Koito was suggested that if she's interested joining in a student council. At the back of the school where the student council office was located, she stumbled to see two students and one of which was confessing to the "Perfect" senpai. And so, Touko-senpai turned him down. To see such a confidence from senpai, Yuu was struggling from a confession that she's hardly denying it (because she’s friend with this dude for 3 years back in middle school), unless her senpai helps her. Being with her senpai, she felt comfortable and turned down the confession from the boy. But the next thing that happened is when her Senpai turn on her and confess her feelings. And left Yuu not knowing what to do.
To give this a review:
Story was perfect and left without a flaw. And a quote from a fellow reviewer,
"Bloom Into You is not a romance. Rather, it is a love story about self-realization."
-RebelPanda
It’s true that it has never been all romance. Because it was one sided at the first half of the series. Yuu Koito didn’t feel any affection towards Touko Nanami because she’s nowhere near of having relationships with someone and just ended a confession to a boy, but she began having feelings for her the more she hangs around Nanami-Senpai. Yuu didn’t jump into a conclusion like any other series around there. And that’s why Bloom into You has one of the best characters development and yuri’s series out there that was ever made.
Art was great at first few volumes for after awhile, but it started losing some ink in the background until the final volume of the manga. Still manageable from the looks of characters designs despite from what we mostly come here was for their story.
Characters were Superb. Yuu had some of the best character writing. She's not greedy. She tends to help. And she's reliable to her friends and fellow council members. Touko in the other hand. She's greedy. She's obscure her feelings. But she cares for Yuu feelings and nurture her for not going overboard.
Enjoyment was a definite. No regrets.
Overall = 9.7/10
I hope we get to see the final phase of Yuu and Touko in anime adaptation. Because they nailed it right through the coffin from the VA’s.
