This is my favorite manga of all time. Never before have I encountered a work that has come as close to absolute perfection as Bloom Into You has. When reading the stage play arc, I kept thinking, "This is fucking brilliant." I'm convinced Nakatani-sensei is an actual genius, because the characters and plot are so expertly crafted that I had to wrack my brain for a while in order to even think of a single flaw. The anime adaptation is also superb, and I'm one among many praying that we can make yuri history and get a second season that finishes the story told in the manga. The final chapter is exactly what it needed to be, bringing a satisfying conclusion to every character's story. The time skip caught me off guard (in a good way), though it makes perfect sense in hindsight. I'm super excited to hear more about Sayaka's relationship with Haru-chan in the third light novel when it comes out in the spring.

It's sad saying goodbye to this world and its characters (though hopefully we'll get that second season eventually), but I'm really looking forward to seeing what genius creation Nakatani Nio puts out next.

I'm glad I put off reading this one until it was finished. I don't think I would have had the patience to wait for the next chapter, lol.

Considering what ends up happening in the manga ending it kind of makes this doujin funny. https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/an_evening_breeze_blows_in

I thought that one was pretty decent and funny in its own right. One of, like, only three hentai doujinshi for YagaKimi in existence?

I think it captured the character dynamic quite well, although the author obviously had to remove some social and mental restrictions to have them go all out already.

Now if only the art of that doujin had been on par with Nakatani's original. Come on, one can dream, right?

boy , its been a long time since i got so into a series that i continued from the anime to the manga. It was a fun ride actually

Also i think yuu made touko cum her brain out that night , she controls everything without having experience.

This is god

Wow! Nakatani-sensei knows how to impress and interest the audience.

The art was perfect, the story was great - what else should one need from a manga? Thank you so much, it was marvellous experience to join this ride :)

Also, nice dynamic between Yuu and Sayaka in the last chapter, even with all the honorifics-distance ;) Well played!

By the lack of updates to this thread, I'm assuming there's no extra chapter this time, right?

From what I understood, the extra chapter is coming mid-November at the earliest, more likely in late November.

It's something left in my memory from what was mentioned earlier on these forums, I think on this very forum. Unfortunately, I'm struggling to find it in the forum itself tho. I know that this comment included either an image or a link to an image showing the plans for the YagaKimi curtain fall (or something along those lines), so there's that.

I just randomly read the final dozen chapters or so of this one, and man, I know it’s not news to anybody, but I have to say once again that Nakatani-sensei is just crazy skilled.

The Sayaka-confession-rejection sequence is so superbly staged I can barely believe it every time I read it. Stories routinely have characters undergo an emotional turning point, but even the ones that are competently done seem kind of mechanical and perfunctory compared to this one.

There are plenty of excellent yuri manga, but I don’t know of any that are quite so across-the-board satisfying as this series.

No extra chapter in the magazine since the serialization has ended. The volume might have something but we don't know.

I don't know why, but whenever, while visiting the forums page, I see that (a) new post(s) have been made in this thread, my heart warms up a little.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I was putting off finishing this up since I didn't want it to be over
But I've finally read the last few chapters
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

My heart

Also I wanna see this elusive "Haru"

Sadist.

This really is excellence personified. There’s no real criteria for “Best Yuri Manga” ever, and I know that people’s tastes run such that there are desirable narrative and emotional payoffs this one doesn’t offer, but I feel confident in saying that there’s nothing this series tried to do that it didn’t execute so close to flawlessly as to make no difference.

Yup! I don't remember a time where people have genuinely shown disgust for the writing, a character or an arc ... I don't even remember people feeling bored or that something was dragged too long, in any series you can find people saying "damn the decision that X character did was too stupid!" and I might need to re-read everything to be sure but I bet there isn't a single unnecessary chapter in the whole series and we're talking about 45 chapters! so masterpiece or not, this is without a doubt one of the best yuri mangas ever made fairly speaking!

So I'm looking forward to Nakatani's next work no matter how long it takes.

We can still re-read it at any time. Also, there'll probs be bonus chapters with the release of the last volume. Not to mention that a season 2 of the anime, while not guaranteed, is more than likely to be made and seen.

There's something bothering me for a while... At the end of Volume 1 Yuu says: "But what I didn't realize at the time, was that being near her meant I'd have to give up something else" (according to Seven seas translation)
What was that "something else" Yuu gave up anyway?

We’ve been around about this before—the consensus as I recall it was: “the ability to fall in love with (in the the alternative: express my feelings for) senpai.”
