So Yuu is a rather dry towards romance whilst Touko is thirsty for it but like many romances we see Yuu and Touko grow from their unexpected relationship, Yuu for opening up to romance in general and what love actually is, while Touko opens up in a different way, mainly through her backstory of “perfection” and her actions and goals she strives to want. With this Yuu tries to recollect her thoughts and maybe see to this relationship…or maybe not?…thus begins their shoujo romance. Yagate Kimi ni Naru is a rather unique take on the shoujo ai/yuri anime, where Yuu Koito voiced by Yuuki Takada was confessed by a boy, but she didn’t feel anything, she tells this to Touko Nanami, the school council president voiced by Minako Kotobuki and well Touko falls in love with Yuu. How trust must be maintained even as the trusted and the trustee and the thing being entrusted between them are touched by time, is worthwhile in any time and any place.Perfect yet flawed…wait are we talking Asuka Tanaka or Touko Nanami? But trust is too often taken for granted, only be be sorely missed when it is lost and all the machinery of society that it once lubricated rusts and grinds itself to dust. This a great choice of theme for a romance story, and the manga makes a great point on how love (and perhaps all long-lasting relationships) are built on trust that the other person will stay true to what made the relationship worthwhile in the first place.

The main characters have much to learn and sort out, and they consistently do so with each passing chapter. Even fewer have something interesting to say (the dreaded theme). Even though manga without much going on in the plot department must put extra emphasis upon their character development and relationship progression to compel readers to keeping reading them, few rise to the challenge. As Yuu turns down his confession, Nanami's hand still holding hers, a bright new spark was formed.īloom Into You takes the most standard yuri manga cliches imaginable, from the school setting for the senpai-kouhai romance to the jealous friend-unrequited lover, and executes with such heart that it stands head and shoulders above most of the genre. Nanami takes Yuu's hand and tells her she only needs to speak from her heart. Nanami comforts Yuu with sympathy for the difficulty of wanting to love but not having someone to fall in love with, and at that moment Yuu's phone rings. Yuu confides that she already decided to turn him down, explaining how she wanted to fall in love but is unable to as she has never felt what it is like to have someone special. Nanami's confident response that she has no intention of dating anyone sparked Yuu's interest, so she seeks Nanami's advice on how to respond to her own confession. Unlike the sparkly and bright love she hears in music and reads in books, his confession did not fill her heart with any emotion.Īs Yuu walks to the student council, she stumbles upon Nanami Touko turning down a confession with certainty and kindness.
