To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. She has a wonderfully sweet but slightly gender-non-conforming style, and is somewhere between asexual or aromantic (not exactly sure about this yet). The final 8th volume of "Bloom Into You", which has been adapted into TV animation and stage play, will be released on November 27th! After Yuu flees, Touko reflects on her fear of love, but tells herself Yuu is still the same kind person and being in love with Touko does not mean she has ulterior motives or expects her to be a certain way. Although she wanted to elicit a "psychological response" in viewers, Ōshima did not want to project an overwhelming "gloomy" mood.

But when the next person to confess to Yuu is the alluring Nanami herself, has Yuu's shoujo romance finally begun? Three years later, [10] Yuu and Touko have graduated high school, enrolled in college, and are now wearing rings on their fingers. And if you want the biggest collection/selection of manga and you want to save cash, then reading Manga online would be an easy choice for you. That’s when Yuu sees the beautiful student council president Nanami turn down a suitor with such maturity and finesse that Yuu is inspired to ask her for advice. We get another scene with Touko’s parents; her father wants to have a talk with Touko because of things that haven’t been addressed between them.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. 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. Rei Koito ( 小糸 怜, Koito Rei ) Voiced by: Mikako Komatsu (Japanese); Marissa Lenti (English) [16] Rei is Yuu's older sister who attends university. Touko reveals that she did go to see the acting troupe, which bothers Yuu because Touko didn’t mention it to her before. The manga was collected in eight tankōbon volumes that were first published in Japan between October 2015 and November 2019 by ASCII Media Works under the Dengeki Comics NEXT label.

In planning Bloom Into You 's story, Nakatani paced the series such that there was always a significant dramatic plot twist at the end of each volume. The play goes into an intermission and we get a glimpse of Touko’s mother showing concern for Touko and Touko worrying about who she will be after the play. 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.There were several additions in the anime that Nakatani enjoyed, such as Yuu's student council election speech. With endearing characters and a beautiful art style, Bloom into You is a fan favourite series within the genre that will be a hit for fans of Citrus and Girl Friends.

Silverman speculated that Yuu's sexual experimentation with Touko throughout the story was reflective of Nakatani writing her first yuri series as well as her debut series after her history of primarily authoring doujinshi, saying, "What we could be seeing is an author experimenting with a genre she's not entirely comfortable with yet". Numerous English-language critics reviewing both the manga and the anime interpreted the character of Yuu Koito, and her expressed lack of attraction to Touko early in the story, as suggesting that she was asexual or aromantic (or some variation thereof). 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. While Nakatani was confident in Kato's skill as a director, she was nervous about letting others handle her story, as she was not certain if she would be involved.In Neo, Alex Jones wrote that while Yuu's feelings may at first appear aromantic, further developments in the narrative rather suggested that she was demisexual. However, I'm eager to see where the series goes from here having set up a new and important conflict between Yuu and Touko. Stating that she can't fall in love with either side of Touko, Yuu promises to stay by her side and help with the play.

He was intended as a foil to Yuu, as while he did not feel romantic feelings, he was happy despite not feeling them. Prior to writing the scripts, he discussed his interpretation of the story with Nakatani, saying he read it as "a simple love story" between women with a minimized focus on homoeroticism, and that it was not concerned with avoiding the "associations with 'immorality'" often found in other yuri works. Additionally, she criticized the character of Maki as a poor example of asexual representation, saying that the series did not acknowledge the reality of aromantic and asexual individuals who "can have meaningful lives and stories of their own that do not necessarily involve courtship. We need mirrors for those in the asexual/aromantic community, we need portrayals in the media, and we need them to be honest explorations of the differences between romance and sexuality.

She described it as "intriguing, rather than entertaining" and hoped for later plot turns to address her criticisms.
