Besides it being in the yuri genre, Nakatani had not decided on any story details before accepting Kusunoki's offer. She developed many ideas for different plots and characters, almost all of which were ultimately scrapped, except for Touko's character design. [23] The editor-in-chief suggested a "secret love," which Nakatani noticed was common to the yuri genre in stories where the characters had to keep their same-sex relationship secret due to both being girls. [23] 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. [26] Thus, she thought of a twist on the idea, wherein rather than keeping their love secret from others, the drama would come from two girls keeping their love secret from each other. This became the impetus for what would become Yuu and Touko's romance story. [23]

for some more Shoujo Ai relationships to exist within the anime/manga medium, there is no real meaning to anything that takes place in this story. 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 Personal Opinion : 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. Gaffney, Sean. "Bloom Into You, Vol. 1".

The manga is supposed to come across as a relationship of manipulation and how selfish people can be, but this isn't anything new from what I have seen. Summing up the manga and you get, "oh I can't do this since it will make her sad" and lying to yourself over and over again. Story (10/10): YagaKimi presents a believable and well-paced narrative that takes readers on an emotional journey of self-discovery as an unlikely friendship blooms into love, while exploring socially important issues such as loss, loneliness, gender roles, and the meaning of love itself.

Yuu was intended to visually and temperamentally contrast with Touko, as a deliberately cute girl with a deeper "cool" aspect. [25] Her personality was written to be someone who would not feel happy about Touko's love but also not reject her, which led to her being created as a girl who desired romantic feelings but did not understand them. [23] [30] As they were planning the characters, Kusunoki and Nakatani asked others around them for stories about their experiences with romance. [25] [29] One woman said that she did not understand romantic feelings, and Nakatani based the manga's depiction of Yuu's emotions on her story. [23] [25] [29] As Touko's role as the student council president was decided, Nakatani conceived Sayaka, Touko's friend in the student council, who would have an unrequited crush on Touko. [23] [25] Nakatani wanted Sayaka to come off as "extremely cool," [23] and she was designed to contrast Touko's "lovable" image when standing beside her as her student council vice president and academic rival. [25] You characters (particularly Yuu, Touko, and Sayaka). Seeing their interactions is always a treat and it just makes my heart feel warm at the end of the day. If I'm looking from an objective perspective, this is probably closer to an 8/10, but I just love the Bloom Into You characters so much that seeing them chill together and spending quality time was a blast. So: should you read this? If you're a big fan of the original Bloom Into You anime/manga, like me, and you want to see more of the characters having fun with each other and enjoying themselves, then absolutely. If you're not really interested in that, then I don't think you need to spend your time on this. Bloom Into You ( Japanese: やがて君になる, Hepburn: Yagate Kimi ni Naru, lit. Eventually, Becoming You) [3] is a Japanese yuri manga series written and illustrated by Nio Nakatani. [4] The manga began serialization in the Japanese monthly shōnen manga magazine Dengeki Daioh [5] on April 27, 2015, [6] and ended on September 27, 2019.

It is not because he is a Shoujo-ai that we should treat him with a differential. I really like the protagonist, I really felt her ambitions and expectations. But I didn't feel humanity enough for you to say ("And I feel your pain ... I feel what you feel).

Over time, Yuu and Touko become more emotionally and physically intimate with each other. This culminates when they go bowling together, with the agreement that whoever wins gets to make a request of the other. Yuu wins and asks to sleep over at Touko's house. Touko agrees, confessing she had wanted to arrange that as well. They spend the evening at Touko's parents' condo, where they have sex. Smith, Michelle. "Several from Seven Seas". Soliloquy in Blue.

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 So I am going to work my way from start to end of how this manga just leaves what is a mess behind itself. In the beginning, we have two protagonists who more or less can't feel love, sounds like a promising start, but then it gets better, school council president Touko Nanami falls in love with Yuu Koito after hearing about her issues of being unable to get the feeling of falling in love with someone. So, the story at that point is probably at it's most interesting in the manga, but what makes it worse you say? Well, it just falls into being generic.

Prior to creating the series, Nio Nakatani was known primarily through her work on doujinshi, especially those based on the Touhou Project series. [23] Because her works were primarily about relationships between girls (a fact which Nakatani attributed to the Touhou series' almost entirely female cast), she gained a reputation as an author of yuri manga. [24] [25] [23] This surprised Nakatani, as she had not intentionally set out to write yuri nor considered her works as such, saying that she primarily sought to depict complex human relationships that interested her. [24] [25] [23] However, as she nonetheless was interested in the yuri genre, she became interested in drawing an unambiguous love story between girls. [23] [26]
