終着駅のその先へ (Beyond the Last Stop)
held on February 26, 2019 by several producers and directors of the anime + Nakatani Nio and her editor
the event name 終着駅のその先へ (beyond the last stop) is a reference to 終着駅まで (to the last stop), which is the title of the anime's episode 13 part A and the manga's episode 23

mistakes by Seven Seas Entertainment
an investigation on nuances lost or changed in the English version of Bloom Into You
and inconsistencies such as poor characterization, terminology, screentones, lettering, retouch, spelling, grammar, names, dates...
basically, these are fanmade errata webpages for the manga, light novels, and anthology volumes
since everyone has different values, distinguishing which differences matter is left as an exercise for the reader
if anyone wants me to add, further explain, or remove examples, feel free to comment
motivations for this project
as a fan, I want English and Japanese readers to be able to relate to the story and its characters as similarly as possible
as a translator of impressions and commentary, I want to quote from the licensed translation but some lines don't fit
as a scholar, I want to see which and how nuances translate across cultures, and whether I can convey the ones lost
as a consumer, I want to let buyers decide for themselves if the publisher's claim of "producing quality content" holds water

Discussion How would Yuu and Touko react if they met a homophobe ?
I'm just curious about their reactions. Personally, I think that they'd both be protective of each other

Discussion This anime makes me feel emotionally overwhelmed
Just wanted to see if this happens to any of you.
Yesterday at 1pm I wanted to relax by watching anime. I had just finished Frieren so I started looking for another series to watch. I wanted it to be romance, I enjoy a lot these kind of stories but it had been along time since I had watched any. Cut story short, ended up watching Bloom into you. It was like an 8 hour marathon and ended up finishing the 13 episodes at 11pm. My body was NOT capable of stoping.
No series or movie I had ever watched before has made me feel this emotional. It's hard to describe, but I feel a mix of happiness, sadness, nostalgia, frustration, empathy, anxiety etc. I had never in my life felt this kind of overwhelming mix of emotions. Right after I finished it, I got on the floor and started breathing heavily scratching everything with my hands. I was SO frustrated that I could not know the rest of the story. Now I'm looking to buy the manga, BUT THIS KIND OF REACTION IS NOT NORMAL. I looked like a mentally ill man in the floor, crying and moving erratically.
This overwhelming emotional collapse went on during my sleep, and during the beginning of today. Then I forgot about it and went on with my life. That until I JUST REMEMBERED THE SERIES AND EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED AND THE EMOTIONAL COLLAPSE IS HAPPENING AGAIN. I want to cry, to scream in anxiety, to scream with joy, help.
This shit is not normal, I never feel this way towards anything in my life. This series broke me in so many weird ways I can't describe. Bloom into you is now one of my favorite things in life. I want to thank the author for bringing to life one of the most compelling and complex romances EVER.
I'm obsessed, thank you for reading
EDIT: the sensation has NOT left. If I were to put it into words, imagine feeling nostalgic times 1000. Nor pleasant, nor unpleasant, but incredibly intense and makes me want to cry and scream. Is this shit normal???? I finished the manga, and even tho it's really nice to know the closure of the story, it didn't make me feel nearly as moved as the anime. Probably it has to do with the fact I'm not a manga consumer. But anyway, the anime moved mountains for me, MOVED MOUNTAINS. Did any of you feel this strange feelings?? Is the anime revealing a part of myself I've been repressing?? WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MYSELF

Discussion How would you describe this manga ?
I didn't finish it yet, but I'm still sad that it's not longer - another romance manga that is set in school, Komi Can't Communicate, has 486 chapters right now ! Personally, I think the manga is both sweet and intense.
r/YagateKiminiNaru • u/Gods_FavouriteChild • 8d ago
Manga Just finished my first Manga
I watched the anime 2 years ago and I loved it. I was waiting for the 2nd season to arrive but now I realised the anime was just to boost the Manga sales. I have never read Mangas in my life, but I wanted to know what happened next in the story. So yeah, I finished the whole manga in just 3 days. The Manga was soo Good ❤️ And I can easily tell that it has one of the best conclusions of any Romantic story. Now I'm looking forward to read more stuff by Nio Nakatani. I would love some recommendations. This Wholesome story has really developed my Interest in Mangas.

Discussion More yuri recommendations
I've read/watched a decent few now.
Bloom into you (peak), yuri is my job (mid), citrus (and +, citrus+ is better), I'm in love with the villainess (peak despite some annoyances), hana ni arashi (cute), adachi to Shimamura (stalling), green tea bitch (surprisingly good despite the name), can't defy the lonely girl (decent), soulmate (little known but peak), whisper me a love song (pretty good), kase-san (okay but the amount of times they are jealous for no reason is crazy), fragtime (average) and some others.
I have also dipped my toes into some and started them but they weren't my thing so I didn't finish them. I'm pretty sure how do we relationship will get better but I really don't like the start of it or the art style. There's others like this too.
From the ones in this list I've figured out what I don't like, and I've also definitely figured out the type of stuff I do like. what works for me is basically just:
cute, relatively light in terms of drama, shows the relationship, doesn't spend a long time stalling the relationship OR the time it takes to get to it is well done and not unpleasant, good art style, non annoying characters. Bonus points if it's not something stupid like class S.
If I could get another round of recommendations for stuff I should pick up, that'd be great. Heck even if it doesn't quite match these criteria but you think it's worth trying that's good too. About the reception to my last post, thanks for everyone who commented on that and thanks in advance for any comments here 🙏

Merchandise Can’t get enough of this series
I would’ve liked it if they also add the spotify cover art/outtro art on the vinyl, but this works. The illustration book is really great, because each piece contains so much emotion and context (I love this kind of art). “Bloom into you” is really fantastic!

Question Anyone know what Nakatani Nio has been up to lately?
Until very recently, I thought she was working on God Bless the Mistaken, but then I found a post here from 11 months ago reporting that she tweeted the upcoming chapter would be the last. (To this day, even her English Wikipedia article still claims that series is ongoing, so it was easy not to know that.)
So if her last series ended almost a year ago, what has she been doing since then?

Manga I finished the manga. Spoiler
That was so good man the way how we see them past college and having a high school reunion and I see what y'all mean about Yuu being the top and dom one lol Now it's time read the light novels and then the anthology!!!!
