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

Product Information

She approaches Touko and the two begin to bond, before Touko suddenly confesses feelings for Yuu, surprising her. As he was not well-versed in "modern styles of art", he spent several months polishing his versions of the characters, but felt they still fell short of the detail seen in Nakatani's art. Kato assured Nakatani that he cared about the original manga and wanted to create a faithful adaptation, assuaging her concerns.

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. Edited by Bryson Baugus, Alexandra Bedford, Iman Kibble, and Luke La Padula ( Bloom Into You Premium Box Set Blu-ray ed. Yuu finally confesses her feelings to Touko and the reader is led to think that from then everything would be wonderful, but Touko can't act and answer affirmatively about it. I wanna take this space to say something bout me though nobody asked me to but I love plays and theater and acting and books with plays in them. Nonetheless, no major alterations were made, as Hanada and Kato wished for the anime to fit within the manga's established continuity.

From there, Nakatani developed Yuu as the type of girl who she imagined would be able to help and eventually come to love Touko. This was particularly important for the story's female characters to be enjoyable to Dengeki Daioh's shōnen demographic. Chie Yuzuki ( 柚木 千枝, Yuzuki Chie) [18] [19] [20] Voiced by: Sayaka Senbongi (Japanese) [21] [a] Sayaka's ex-girlfriend and senpai from middle school, who initially confesses to and forms a relationship with her which she later breaks off, saying that it was "just a phase" and that they cannot have a relationship as two girls. 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). 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.

In the manga and anime, Chie is not named, only referred to as "senpai" by Sayaka, [22] but is named in the Regarding Saeki Sayaka novels.

She also complimented the choice to set the story in a co-ed school as a "nice change" from other yuri stories, and said that it had "no 'forceful' tropes" (such as in Citrus or NTR: Netsuzou Trap). Don't get me wrong, I'm glad the story went on for another 2 volumes, because volume 7 and 8 were easily the best of the series (I really liked the field trip with Sayaka trying to make her move, thinking she has a chance, and I'm pretty sure we wouldn't have the Sayaka novels if volume 7 and 8 never existed), but I always though Yuu's quick decision to just run away was a weird move. Sayaka tells Yuu to solicit Koyomi's involvement, and to look into the student council president of seven years ago. 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. While in denial about what Maki implied, Yuu is asked by her classmate Koyomi Kanou to give her feedback on a novel that she is writing.
