An indecisive girl who wants to have a shoujo like romance. A popular girl in student council who always pretends to be perfect/ideal. The plot slowly shows us the progress of a highschool drama with flawed characters slowly changing (blooming) over the course of six months. 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. a b "Bloom Into You Manga Ends in 3 Chapters". Anime News Network. 27 June 2019.

In discussing her approach to the yuri genre, Nakatani expressed that while she liked romance stories, she was disappointed with narratives that paint a relationship as necessary to complete oneself emotionally, as it made her feel as if "something was wrong with me." [30] Nakatani felt that same-sex romances often avoided this dichotomy, and that as she struggled to write a convincing heterosexual romance, she was more drawn towards creating manga about same-sex couples. While Nakatani had also drawn boys' love manga previously, she ultimately said that yuri was more interesting to her, as she wanted to draw cute girls. [30] In one interview, she said that yuri was difficult to define, but that "once the reader thinks it is yuri, then at that moment it becomes yuri." [25] In a conversation with Riddle Story of Devil creators Yun Kōga and Sunao Minakata, she concurred with Kōga's statement that yuri is about "girls getting involved with other girls," adding the qualification that it is "feelings between girls." [31] She also cited the anime adaptation of Sound! Euphonium as an influence, saying it showed "everything I want to do in yuri." [25] Early development [ edit ] Nio Nakatani's early character designs for Touko and Yuu Three years later, [10] Yuu and Touko have graduated high school, enrolled in college, and are now wearing rings on their fingers. They reunite with the former student council members to attend the cultural festival at their old high school. As Yuu and Touko reminisce about how their relationship started and reflect on their new lives as adults, they walk off into the night.The anime adaptation of Yagate Kimi ni Naru is set to begin on October 5th, 2018. A preview was released in June 2018. It is licensed for release in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, Spain, Portugal, and Latin America by Sentai Filmworks. Maki, a major supporting male character who takes interest in Yuu's relationship with Touko and offers her advice, is depicted as not being interested in relationships for himself. [23] [32] [29] He was intended as a foil to Yuu, as while he did not feel romantic feelings, he was happy despite not feeling them. [23] This aspect of his character also served to preclude him as a potential romantic interest for Yuu or Touko. [32] [29] Nakatani included Maki to show that people could be fulfilled without romantic relationships. [23] The anime's character designer, Hiroaki Gōda, felt that while he could not directly relate to the story's female cast, he identified with Maki's desire to watch Yuu and Touko's relationship develop. [19] The adult lesbian couple of Riko and Miyako were introduced to suggest what Yuu and Touko's relationship would possibly become in the future. [23] The designs of many of the central characters were all decided upon before the manga started its serialization. [32] Serialization [ edit ]

A 13-episode anime television series adaptation was announced in the June issue of the Dengeki Daioh magazine on April 27, 2018. It was animated by Troyca, produced by Kadokawa, Docomo Anime Store, AT-X, Sony Music Solutions and Kadokawa Media House and directed by Makoto Katō, with Jukki Hanada handling series composition, Hiroaki Gōda designing the characters and Michiru Ōshima composing the music. [15] The opening theme is "Kimi ni Furete" ( 君にふれて, Touched By You) by Riko Azuna, [64] while the ending theme is "hectopascal" by Yuu Koito ( Yūki Takada) and Touko Nanami ( Minako Kotobuki). [15] The series aired in Japan from October 5 to December 28, 2018. [65] [66] Sentai Filmworks licensed the series outside of Asia and streamed it on Hidive in both subtitled and English dubbed formats. [67] [68] Sentai also released the series on DVD and Blu-ray in September 2019, [69] while MVM Films published the series on home video in the UK. [70] [71] [72] KSM Anime released the series on DVD and Blu-ray with a German dub. [73] [74] No. That being said, there’s no reason to get worried about the future of the show yet. Anime shows sometimes take a few years to renew and hence, there’s plenty of time left for Troyca to announce a second season. Further, since new chapters of the manga series are still being published, there is definitely no dearth of source material for a second season. Considering this fact, and considering the popularity of the series both in Japan and abroad, we think that there’s a good chance of Bloom Into You being renewed for a second season. Our best guess, keeping everything in mind, is thatBloom Into You season 2 release date could be sometime in 2022.However, nothing is set in stone in the anime industry and we can’t be certain about what lies in store for Bloom Into You till Troyca makes an official announcement on the show’s future. We’re keeping our ears open for news on Season 2 of Bloom Into You and we’ll update this section as soon as we hear something reliable. Bloom Into You English Dub: 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]And then you get the most useless part of the story which is the student council play. Now, the play in itself is ironical, it being better than the main story at hand. It really was. It had an interesting story, and the entire play was nicely executed, if I had to rate it, I would give it a 7 So, for those of you who are here, I'm assuming you are all fans of the original Bloom Into You anime/manga, or both. So I'm sure you're wondering: what is this? Well, to answer your question, Bloom Into You Anthology is basically a bunch of skits put together by different mangaka and they drew the Bloom Into You characters in different artstyles doing different activities with each other. If you're expecting some S tier storytelling like we got in the original Bloom Into You manga, well, look elsewhere. This was a very fun read because I got to spend more time with the Bloom Into The school festival/play arc is the point at which the character development begins. This is arguably the most important part of the series. But, the anime misses out on that. It builds up the play and then ends before we get to see it. Because of that, the manga is superior by default. Sayaka recalls how she dated a girl in middle school, only to find that she wasn't taking it seriously, after which she fell for Touko. As Yuu, Touko, Sayaka, and Koyomi get together at a café to discuss the play, Sayaka notices something between her teacher Riko Hakozaki and café owner Miyako Kodama. Speaking to Miyako alone, Sayaka learns that she and Riko are dating each other and confides with her about her feelings for Touko.

However, when Yuu’s classmate from junior high confesses his feelings for her, Yuu feels unexpectedly and disappointingly hollow. Following this experience, Yuu becomes convinced that she is only capable of understanding romance as a concept, not feeling it first-hand. Bloom Into You Vol. 3". Seven Seas Entertainment.

The novel is a little too fast, sometimes I think the author could have given more space to the protagonists (or characters). It is one of the clichés I mentioned, they talk, date, fight one day and the next they are talking in peace. It bothers me, even if other people think otherwise, because like this: how do you talk, date, fight and talk again normally? Does not make sense. This cliché can bother me, because I am a little demanding on his part, but I am sure that a viewer will hardly notice this factor. a b c d e f g "自分の考える百合のど真ん中ー『やがて君になる』仲谷鳰先生インタビュー". 百合ナビ (in Japanese).

Prior to creating Bloom Into You, Nakatani self-published various doujinshi works which featured girl-girl pairings of Touhou characters. Although she had not intended these works to be of the yuri genre, they were received as such by readers. This led her to be interested in producing a romance story featuring an unambiguous love between girls. A Dengeki Daioh editor approached Nakatani at a doujinshi convention, proposing that she draw a yuri series for the magazine, an offer which she accepted.
