The very first chapter’s set up is similar to the popular manga Citrus, although they end up being vastly different from each other I won’t hide my personal dislike for Citrus, the way the characters physically force themselves onto the other, the neglect they have for their feelings and just Mei in general, are all indicators of a very toxic relationship whereas Yuu and Nanami do none of what was just described.

What makes this specific manga standout is the dedication to thoroughly exploring its main characters and develop them through time, as well as the respect within their interactions with each other. Yuu is someone who often fantasizes about love, anticipates finding love but at the same deeply struggles to develop romantic feelings for anyone, Nanami seemed to be the same which is how they first get close, when Yuu ends up helping the student council however, Nanami soon develops feelings for Yuu, that the latter can’t immediately reciprocate and thus, their journey begins.

Yuu is a 1 st year high school student, while Nanami is a 2 nd year and soon to be student council president. You might be more familiar with the term ‘yuri’ to describe the genre of this manga, which is when the romance occurs between two female characters rather than a male and female or two males however, ‘yuri’ tends to indicate a more erotic approach, whereas ‘shoujo ai’ indicates a story that focuses more on the sentimental aspects, which better applies to Bloom into You. It follows the characters Yuu Koito and Touko Nananmi and their “blooming” emotions.
