Bloom into You Vol. 8 (Bloom into You (Manga)) Paperback – August 18, 2020

Bloom into You is one of the most enjoyable romance manga I have ever read. The story is effectively paced, neither dragging things out or rushing through events. As such, when I realized that the story was coming to an end, a part of me was sad, but the rest of me enjoyed a fulfilling conclusion to an excellent series.If you've been reading the series thus far, it's fairly obvious that Touko and Yuu will get together. The previous volume ended with them realizing how much they loved each other, so it's only natural that they'll be able to work out their differences.What follows is an effective denouement that shows the two settling into their new relationship, as well as how that affects how they behave around each other. It eventually culminates in a chapter several years in the future, with Touko and Yuu still a couple, albeit a long-distance one, and ends on a touching, if somewhat open-ended note. Most of the other characters' storylines get good conclusions(even Sayaka, who lost Touko to Yuu), even if there's plenty of room to imagine what the future holds in store for them.One thing I believe people should know about is that there's a sex scene in Chapter 44, the second-to-last chapter. It's fairly short and relatively tame, but some people may not find it appropriate, so they should skip a few pages once Yuu enters Touko's bedroom. The only thing they're likely to miss is Yuu dropping the "-senpai" from Touko's name for the first time, a small but important step that brings them closer.That said, if you enjoyed the series so far, you shouldn't miss out on the end of Touko and Yuu's story, as well as one of my favorite mangas.

I was so worried, with how things had ended last volume. I feared the girls wouldn't be able to come to terms & truly accept & love each other. Such sweet girls, this was one of those stories that you just don't want to end. Now that it's over, I'm again saying good bye to old friends. I'm so so glad it was a happy ending. Those 2 deserve each other & deserve to be loved & happy. I greatly enjoyed reading this. Art, fantastic. Dialogue, excellent & heartfelt. Characters, likable, believable, adorable.

I just got the last volume and I only want to say that this series is really amazing. If you just wanna read a love story with great characters development this is for you.

Title says it all :) This is just a really done and well thought out series. The art is great, the character development is awesome, it's not afraid to take it's time and be real, but it can be fluffy and cute too. I recommend you pick this series up if you are a yuri fan or even just want a real romance with relatable but unique and complex characters.

I finally finished it! A well written wlw romance that doesn't have an over-reliance on tropes or cliche writing! Bless Nakatani Nio for writing it. I loved the progression of this relationship and the over all positive nature of everything. Characters go through similar milestones in other manga (the cultural festival! The school play! The bonding camping trip!) but rarely act as you'd expect. This series is a gem. Go read it!

I loved this series so much. It really touched my heart. It explores a lot of really interesting themes about love and identity in a rather nuanced way that is apparent without being ham-handed. It sparked a lot of joy for me, and I want to sincerely thank the author for all the love and hard work that went into it.

Great ending to the series. Loved it!

This is a great introduction to reading manga. The series is told in a relatively straightforward manner and with only 8 volumes, you will get to an end point a lot quicker than with other manga series.Librarians should know that while the first 7 volumes were perfectly acceptable to put in any teen (or even tween) section of the library, this final volume would probably belong in the adult section of the library based on the nudity standards of most libraries I know of.
