Bloom into You Vol. 6 (Bloom into You (Manga))

Product Information

So after several chapters of slogging through a poorly written school play that is a such a clearly forced metaphor for Touko, we actually get to some plot between Touko and Yuu.

Describing the series as having “…Adorable artwork and [a] charming love story,” Seven Seas Entertainment announced its licensing of the manga for English release in North America on February 14, 2016. Bauman agreed with Henderson, additionally praising Sayaka's story in the light novel spinoff series, and describing Riko and Miyako as "queer adult figures guiding the next generation". Friedman later praised a scene in the fifth volume for seeing Yuu become "an active participant in the narrative" in a scene wherein Yuu urges Touko to not depend on her for fulfillment.Had it happened any sooner, I really don’t think the development and growth would have packed as big of a punch as it did. The nurse talks to her and says she can’t just become someone else and who she is now is still a person. We are left on a bit of a cliffhanger when Yuu expresses the feelings that she’s been keeping inside for fear of losing what she has with Touko. In the final epilogue chapter set three years after the previous chapter following a timeskip, their relationship is no longer a secret from most of their friends, which Nakatani thought was better as she wanted them to be happy at the story's conclusion. Nakatani did not want to focus the narrative's attention on the social challenges of girl-girl relationships, as she felt it would be too simple and was more interested in exploring the characters' personal flaws.

Characters [ edit ] Yuu Koito ( 小糸 侑, Koito Yū) Voiced by: Hisako Kanemoto [11] (manga PV), Yūki Takada (anime) [12] (Japanese); Tia Ballard (English) [13] Yuu is a 15-year-old high school girl at Toomi Higashi High School who has trouble experiencing feelings of love. i’m also glad that yuu discovered that she’s in love with nanami but i’m sad that nanami didn’t know how to react because she’s so scared of someone loving her back 😭 praying for their happy ending. In a review of the first episode, Vrai Kaiser said the premiere has "all the makings of a solid romantic melodrama", described as a "quiet slow burn", and praised the color filters "emphasizing the florals and changing of seasons.

It might be needed for the series in the long-run, but it doesn't hold up on its own and I think some of the boring stuff could have been shortened. While waiting for Touko, Sayaka has a brief run-in with her ex-girlfriend, managing to say her piece to her. The adult lesbian couple of Riko and Miyako were introduced to suggest what Yuu and Touko's relationship would possibly become in the future. When the student council holds a study camp to practice for the play, actor Tomoyuki Ichigaya, a former classmate of Mio's, is brought in to help. When the play is performed at the cultural festival, its narrative and Touko's performance are acclaimed by the audience, and the manager of a local theater troupe approaches Touko, asking her to join them and become an actress.
