After seemingly being content to passively watch and be dragged along for most of the series, Yuu finally admits at least to herself that she likes Nanami and that she wants to help her overcome her baggage. It takes a bit to get to this point but once Yuu has committed, she moves quickly. This is the most active we’ve seen Yuu all season in terms of pursuing the relationship herself…

Bloom Into You has defied all of my expectations. It is a stunningly beautiful anime with incredible directing most episodes. The characters feel believable and as though they have real depth and complexity, and the story has been kept simple so there never feels like unnecessary clutter.

As you would expect with any school based anime, the student council ran around before hand checking lists, gathering supplies and generally looking officious and busy.
