At long last, we've gotten to volume 17! I couldn't be more ready for this!

@AntagonistChan yeah, that's what I figured it was too. That also means they're like twice as massive as they look, though, so it's not much better.

And here I thought this would be an Itou Hachi story without a massive age gap couple...so much for that, looks like. (I mean, there's a chance it'll just stay a crush, but I find it unlikely that Itou Hachi would just leave a loli's love for an older woman unrequited.)

I think they're just 4 individual snapshots.

Left Kanan is a reference to Kanan's recent event UR in All Stars, which is a little too sexy. Not sure if Right Kanan is a reference to anything.

Oh fuck, so they've been killing innocent people this whole time probably, right?

Am I the only one that gets seriously disturbing vibes from this series? I don't have an issue with most of Itou Hachi's onee-loli works, but this one is different somehow. Something about the scenario makes the Onee-san feel more like a straight-up pedo than the Onee-sans in other works. That extremely detailed list of highly illegal desires she lists off in Chapter 3 doesn't help her case, either.

There's something so bizarre about seeing that Haruka and Yuu, canonically, have sex. I never thought they'd make it that far.

I was wondering how to express this exact thought, but you did it for me. That was the thing that stood out the most to me in this sequel/follow-up doujin.

What a blessing, a canon follow-up story...

I wonder if we'll get a continuation of Yuzu and Kaede's story at some point.

Link to the 12 steps they talking about.

I'm surprised it's an actual thing. It's hard to read that page with a straight face.

I fucking lost it at "Praise the tsun"

Mio is still upset about the whole ordeal

DUNK THATS ALL I WANTED. SLAM DUNK. GOOD SHIT

you may ask: do i want girls to be sad? no. what i want is for lasting consequences of a hurtful event to be dealt with realistically rather than just overturned in a moment

very good. great. fantastic

I completely agree with Evitron here. Every action has its consequences... i can´t wait for the next chapters...

Ditto. Wounds take time to heal. It's clear now that they both truly love each other, but that cannot and should not simply erase the painful events that brought them to where they are. I look forward to watching them grow and heal together.

It's okay, it's not gay if you say no homo

Zutto hanasanai!!!

Flexes fingers

Weird flex but okay

what's the word in Japanese?Otome? like it could be translated either as maiden or virgin?

Nope. The word used is 処女 (shojo - virgin), not to be confused with the 少女 (shoujo - girl) that's in the title. Technically it can also mean maiden in certain situations, but virgin (as in "hasn't had sex") is the definition used in this manga.

Well damn, the first chapter doesn't do this manga justice. Sure, it's not perfect, but it's way beyond what I had expected. Both characters have developed nicely and become much more likeable already. Now I'm actually looking forward to seeing how their relationship progresses.

It almost feels like it deserves the Alternate reality tag...

What happened, exactly? She didn't die, right?

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.

Lmao I love the Monster girl tag on this

If only the art was any good at all...what a shame.

It's the same pair from that looping GIF by the same artist

It's got kind of an old-school manga vibe

Somebody's SALTY
