Bloom into You

From 2017 to 2020, Seven Seas Entertainment brought Nakatani Nio's quietly masterful manga to English-speaking readers in an 8-issue comic series. The story follows Yuu Koito, a high school girl who has never experienced romantic feelings, and her encounter with the seemingly perfect student council member Touko Nanami, who confesses her love. With delicate art and nuanced writing by Nio, alongside translations by Jenn Grunigen and Jenny McKeon, this series became a landmark in yuri romance for its thoughtful, slow-burn exploration of identity and what it truly means to fall in love.
