A girl wants to become her deceased sister but falls in love. Another desperately seeks affection. It's not bad, but not great either. The main issue I have about the story is the overall theme "just stay as you are, never change or I will stop loving you" - and this is very angering. Friedman, Erica (August 11, 2020).

Well, not like this worked for me even as a shoujo-ai an away. Most of the volumes is padded with annoying "I love you but I don't love you and you love me but you also can't love me" bullshitting. I knew how this was going to end, you knew it, we all knew it and yet you still have to drag through 7 volumes to get to the expected ending. To be fair, the last volume is actually nice. If the filler between the introduction and the finale was removed with more content added after the finale this would have been much better. But there just isn't anything really interesting happening there. Nothing really caught my attention as the story progressed. Nothing when I said to myself "now this is where it gets good". Up until the end I still struggle to understand the overwhelmingly positive reception of this manga, as it doesn't do much outside from what the average shoujo-ai manga does. Actually, the scenario of the theatre play within the story sounded significantly more interesting than the story itself. Just do that as a story instead, please? in Japanese). Dengeki Comics.

Feeling that she does not understand love, she turns him down. She later sees second-year student council member Touko Nanami turning down a confession, and becomes convinced that Touko feels similarly about romance. She approaches Touko and the two begin to bond, before Touko suddenly confesses feelings for Yuu, surprising her. Although Yuu does not feel capable of reciprocating, Touko is not bothered by this and says she would be very happy if Yuu were to not return her feelings. a b "Bloom Into You Manga Ends in 3 Chapters".

While waiting for Touko, Sayaka has a brief run-in with her ex-girlfriend, managing to say her piece to her. Later, as the student council prepare to take part in a competitive relay event, Yuu spends some time with Sayaka to hear her thoughts on both the play and Touko. On a rainy day, Yuu ends up walking home with Touko, who becomes wary of Yuu showing affection towards her. Asked to help out with her school's student council, Yuu Koito comes across student council member Touko Nanami turning down a confession, stating she does not intend to go out with anyone. Recalling a confession from a boy she had yet to reply to, Yuu confides in Touko about feelings she didn't understand. After helping her turn down the boy properly, Touko tells Yuu that she has fallen in love with her. Later, Touko asks Yuu to be her campaign manager for the student council president election. a b c "Bloom Into You (Light Novel): Regarding Saeki Sayaka". Seven Seas Entertainment.

The characters are normal and normal students. 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). She is being selfish, yes, that is her entire character base but for someone smart as her, what is the point, if she wanted to become the same as the person she desired, who mind you, I don't believe was selfish anyway, already failing her task. What was the point of being so selfish?Bloom Into You, Riddle Story of Devil Creators Talk Yuri in Latest Newtype Issue". Anime News Network . Retrieved 2023-04-14. Another thing I found quite funny is the author's need for yuri relationships, it isn't bad but damn there are quite a few, you could get 5 different ships from this story all around girls alone. Again nothing bad but I just thought it was strange, as I did point out that beforehand. As I said toward the start of this review, I gave the Bloom into You manga a 10/10. I tried to think of any reason I could come up with to give it a lower score. And in the end, there was nothing. It deserves this rating.
