From her perspective, it’s easy to see what love is on a fictional level. Right off the bat, we meet Yuu Koito, a first-year high school student who has a love for shoujo manga. Indeed, watching Yagate Kimi ni Naru (Bloom Into You) finally gave me a shoujo-ai that I desired. While this series doesn’t contain much mystery, it definitely made me wonder if it has a similar mystique. Director Makoto Katou made a rather interesting impression back in 2015 when they directed a mystery light novel adaptation called “Beautiful Bones: Sakurako’s Investigation”. However, I was also curious about the anime adaptation after seeing the staff involved. The series was launched in April 2015 from the Monthly Comic Dengeki Daioh and in the present, it has over 500k printing copies and ongoing. I’m not too familiar with the community related to shoujo-ai works but it’s clear that the manga has popularity. Thankfully, Yagate Kimi no Naru is the answer. I wanted to see a softer side of the shoujo-ai genre without subscribing to sexual same gender relationships that relies on shock service. Both of those shows let me down big time with their aggressive stance on relationships. of the shoujo-ai genre hardly made an impression on me such as Citrus or Netsuzou Trap. I’m very open minded with just about any genre although when it comes to yuri and shoujo-ai, I’m rather indifferent about it. The art of anime adaptations is a fascinating subject that takes many forms. Humans are imperfect and we were built that way in the eyes of our creator. Can we all agree that human emotions can never be truly understood? What does it mean to be in love? Why do people fall for each other? In our world of imperfection, we will never know the truth to this question. Love takes shape that the universe may never have a precise answer on.
