About the series
Nio Nakatani’s やがて君になる (published in English as Bloom Into You) is a quietly revolutionary yuri romance from Kadokawa that ran for eight issues between 2015 and 2019. The series follows Yuu Koito, a high school girl who has never felt romantic attraction, and her unexpected connection with the seemingly perfect student council president, Touko Nanami, who hides her own deep insecurities. Nakatani’s delicate, emotionally precise storytelling and nuanced character development have made this a defining work of modern LGBTQ+ manga, exploring identity, consent, and the slow, uncertain bloom of love without easy answers.
