I found Bloom Into You by accident - looking through 9gag and seeing one, random recommendation. If someone told me back then what kind of journey would it be, I would laugh through exhaling by a nose.

And here I am after reading all chapters there was in one day (9 September 2018 - I'll remember you) and now awaiting the last 3 chapters with lack of anticipation because I do not want to part away with characters yet, I'd like to stay with them because I want to see them Bloom further. The story in Yagate Kimi ni Naru does not really rely on Yuri, you could take away that aspect and in 3/4 it wouldn't really change, because it's just a beautiful, moving and breathtaking piece of literature about love, relationships, need for someone and how does it feel to hide and unravel your true self.

Often I felt like Bloom Into You was more of a fable than anything else, there are obvious metaphors to 'dream-like or drowning-like states' in emotions (take that in BIG '') and many hidden ones that I won't spoil for you, but when you reread the story it will make you grasp a breath little harder thanks to the emotions.

Even if you do not have anything in common with the characters, they are masterly written making it really enjoyable to unravel how are they and what do they want.

Art may do not be the most detailed you'll see but small details and places and time where a certain chapter takes place to make them - once again - beautiful like fables.

Overall I really encourage you to read Yagate Kimi ni Naru even if you do not like school settings, yuri or anything that stands in the tags because it's not the main focus of the story, sure it's part of its identity but the core is just masterful tale of love.
