Review of 'Bloom into You, Vol. 1' on 'Storygraph'
3 stars
I think I've watched the trailer for the anime when it came out, and ever since it was lying on my watchlist, but I haven't started it... well, now I wanted to read the manga and voilà. I barely actually remembered the trailer, but still I lowkey imagined the story to be different. Maybe the anime is just different from the manga, or it's just my short-memory...
Well, anyway. I do like it so far and I am going to continue it, but it's not the best. I found the confession a bit too quick, although then again, it makes it also unique and stand out from other yuri stories. And I do like it how "relaxed" they are about it, if that's the right word.
The characters are also nice to read – no one's really annoying, not even the boys. Although I get bad vibes from Yuu's dad. …

And while I don't really see much romantic chemistry between our main couple, I do like how it's slowly building up and different from other stories. Instead of getting to know each other first and then confessing + starting dating and everything, it's turned around for them.
I feel like this could've0 been a good way to make Yuu aro or something, but I spoilered myself and it's not gonna happen. Not that I expected much, but it would've been cool, considering she has some "signs". But then again, she's just in highschool and that's pretty young anyway.
Not that anyone can't figure out they're aro at this age, but in my opinion, it's too young to know what romance (or all the other types of love) really is.
