Bloom Into You: Regarding Saeki Sayaka (2018 light novel series by Hitoma Iruma, English) Add a review

Bloom Into You (Japanese: やがて君になる, Hepburn: Yagate Kimi ni Naru; lit. 'Eventually, Becoming You') is a Japanese yuri manga series written and illustrated by Nio Nakatani. The manga began serialization in the Japanese monthly shōnen manga magazine Dengeki Daioh on April 27, 2015, and ended on September 27, 2019. The story follows two female high school students, Yuu Koito and Touko Nanami, and the relationship that develops between them as they learn more about themselves through their experiences together.

Prior to creating Bloom Into You, Nakatani self-published various doujinshi works which featured girl-girl pairings of Touhou characters. Although she had not intended these works to be of the yuri genre, they were received as such by readers. This led her to be interested in producing a romance story featuring an unambiguous love between girls. 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.

The manga was collected in eight tankōbon volumes that were first published in Japan between October 2015 and November 2019 by ASCII Media Works under the Dengeki Comics NEXT label. The volumes were later licensed for English release in North America by Seven Seas Entertainment, and were released between January 2017 and August 2020. An anime television series adaptation produced by Troyca and covering the first five volumes of the manga aired between October and December 2018. The anime is licensed in North America by Sentai Filmworks.
