History Manga / BloomIntoYou

* YuriGenre: Most of the main characters are lesbians or otherwise interested in other girls, and two secondary characters, both adult women, are in a relationship.

** Also, Akari has a crush on her sempai on the basketball team, but he turns her down, claiming that he wants to focus on basketball. Unfortunately, the way in which he does so causes her to think that she may eventually have a chance until she finds out that he's going out with Serizawa.

* CastFullOfGay: Surprisingly averted. Five of the main characters are lesbians or otherwise interested in other women, but most of the rest of the cast is heterosexual. Rei and Ichigaya have a boyfriend and girlfriend, respectively, Akari has an unrequited crush on her male sempai (who has a girlfriend) and later gets some ShipTease with Doujima, and Koyomi is rather shocked to find out that [[spoiler:her favorite author is female]], implying that she's heterosexual.

** In the last chapter, Touko teases Yuu about her calling Touko "sempai" while eating at the cafe with Sayaka, since [[spoiler:Yuu had switched to calling Touko by her first name after they started going out and dropped the "sempai" after TheirFirstTime]]. In a fan translation of the manga, Yuu never addressed Touko by name during that scene, so Touko's remark doesn't make much sense.

** Chie and Haru, the two girls who confessed to Sayaka. Chie was Sayaka's sempai in middle school, while Haru is Sayaka's kohai in college. Chie breaks up with Sayaka out of the belief that they were going through a GayRomanticPhase, while Haru's ex broke up with her for the same reason.

** Lampshaded in the light novels, when Sayaka learns that her sempai, Chie Yuzuki, [[NightmareFetishist is interested in Renma Hayashi's (rather disturbing) work]], just like Koyomi is. Sayaka wonders what else she doesn't know about Chie.

** After Sayaka says goodbye to her sempai, she leaves arm-in-arm with Touko to subtly send the message that she's still a lesbian. As they leave, Touko asks about why Sayaka acted the way she did, but while Sayaka avoids answering the question, Touko decides to hold hands with her.

** While Sayaka and Yuu get onto a FirstNameBasis soon after meeting, Sayaka notes that it's unusual for Yuu to use "-chan" on Haru, since Yuu otherwise uses yobisute on her friends. Toward the end of the book, Sayaka tells Haru, [[spoiler:who has since become her girlfriend]] that she doesn't need to call her "sempai."

** Touko's predecessors include her sister Mio, and her sempai Kuze. Kuze has a reputation for being the type to delegate work to others, [[spoiler:something that also goes for Mio]].

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The main characters' school is called Toomi, Tohmi or Tomi East High School.

''Yagate, Kimi ni Naru'' (lit. "One day, I'll become you", or "I'll become yours" depending on who you ask; officially translated as ''Bloom Into You'') is a {{yuri|Genre}} {{romance}} manga by Nio Nakatani, as well as the multimedia franchise started by its success:

* The main manga was serialized in Dengeki Daioh from April 2015 to September 2019 and ran for 45 chapters and 8 volumes. It was [[http://www.gomanga.com/articles/extraextra/seven-seas-celebrates-valentines-day-with-license-of-yuri-series-bloom-into-you/870 licensed by Seven Seas Entertainment]], with the first English volume released in January 2017. A French version is published by Kana since September 2019.

* ForWantOfANail: In a bonus 4koma, Touko suggests that if Yuu's birthday (April 5) was a week earlier, the two could have been yearmates and possibly classmates, instead of sempai and kohai. Yuu then says that in that case, Touko wouldn't have needed Yuu's help on the student council, and Touko quickly concludes that it's better the way it is.

* FoodAsBribe: The short story "Will I Ever Bloom Into You?" from the Bloom Into You anthology has Touko bribe Yuu into switching clothes with her so they could practice acting as each other for the school play with a shrimp doria lunch at Echo, after Yuu points out that they could just switch ribbons[[note]]At Toomi Eat, ribbons are color-coded by year, and each year wears the same color until they graduate. For example, Yuu, who's a first-year at the start of the series, wears a yellow ribbon, while Touko(a second-year at the start of the series) wears a red ribbon, Kuze's class of third-years wear green ribbons and the class ahead of them presumably wore yellow.[[/note]] since they go to the same school. After Yuu walks in on Touko trying, and failing to button her shirt all the way up due to the difference in their bust size, she demands cheesecake with extra whipped cream as well, and the narrative notes that they just traded ribbons afterwards.

** In the last chapter, Touko teases Yuu about her calling Touko "[[SenpaiKohai sempai]]" while eating at the cafe with Sayaka, since [[spoiler:Yuu had switched to calling Touko by her first name after they started going out and dropped the "sempai" after TheirFirstTime]]. In a fan translation of the manga, Yuu never addressed Touko by name during that scene, so Touko's remark doesn't make much sense.

--->'''Sayaka''': Well, Koito-san, I thought '''you''' would be a meek little [[SenpaiKohai kouhai]]... but you're ''actually'' rather '''rude'''.

* SenpaiKohai: Touko is Yuu's sempai. Yuu herself has two kouhai from the softball team who, to her dismay, are already taller than her.

[[spoiler:The triangle is ultimately resolved when Sayaka confesses to Touko, who turns her down and gets together with Yuu, while Sayaka eventually gets together with another girl]].

* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: The two girls visit an aquarium in chapter 24 and see animals like penguins there.

** In the last chapter, Touko teases Yuu about her calling Touko "[[SempaiKohai sempai]]" while eating at the cafe with Sayaka, since [[spoiler:Yuu had switched to calling Touko by her first name after they started going out and dropped the "sempai" after TheirFirstTime]].

Yuu then says that in that case, Touko wouldn't have needed Yuu's help on the student council, and Touko quickly concludes that it's better the way it is.

Also, Akari has a crush on her sempai from the basketball team. Kuze is not only sempai to Touko and Sayaka as the previous StudentCouncilPresident, but was also a sempai to Doujima in kendo.

** This exchange betwen Touko and Yuu, after Touko [[spoiler:learns about her sister from Ichigaya]]:

* AdultFear: If Touko's dream is any indication, [[spoiler: the circumstances of how her sister died. Your daughter/sister goes to take out some trash -- a very mundane and simple chore. She never comes back.]]

** [[spoiler:Sayaka's ex-girlfriend]] is never referred to by name in the manga, and Sayaka simply calls her "Senpai." ''Regarding Sayaka Saeki'' gives her a name- Chie Yuzuki.

* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: Chapter 45 takes place after Yuu has started college and is about her meeting up with all her Student Council friends to go see the new student council's play.

* ''[[https://yagakimi.fandom.com/wiki/Regarding_Sayaka_Saeki Saeki Sayaka ni Tsuite]]'' (lit. "Regarding Sayaka Saeki") is a trilogy of LightNovels by Hitoma Iruma, focusing on Touko's BestFriend Sayaka before meeting Touko and Yuu, respectively.

* FoodAsBribe: The short story "Will I Ever Bloom Into You?" from the Bloom Into You anthology has Touko bribe Yuu into switching clothes with her so they could practice acting as each other for the school play with a shrimp doria lunch at Echo, after Yuu points out that they could just switch ribbons since they go to the same school.

** While Sayaka and Yuu get onto a FirstNameBasis soon after meeting, Sayaka notes that it's unusual for Yuu to use "-chan" on Haru, since Yuu otherwise uses yobisute on her friends. Toward the end of the book, Sayaka tels Haru, [[spoiler:who has since become her girlfriend]] that she doesn't need to call her "sempai."

* AmicableExes: Averted. Sayaka wants nothing to do with her ex-girlfriend after the latter breaks up with her, and while Haru is a bit more forgiving toward her ex, she acknowledges that their friendship is over. Sayaka deconstructs the concept by noting that relationships take time to build up, and are difficult to rebuild once they collapse. [[spoiler:Sayaka is on decent terms with Touko despite Touko rejecting her confession because their relationship hadn't changed, but still feels awkward enough around Touko that they don't see each other much. She has ironically become better friends with Yuu, and she even tells Yuu things that she doesn’t share with Touko]].

** Chie and Haru, the two girls who confessed to Sayaka. Chie was Sayaka's sempai in middle school, while Haru is Sayaka's kohai in college. Chie breaks up with Sayaka out of the belief that the RomanticTwoGirlFriendship is merely a phase, while Haru's ex broke up with her for the same reason.

* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: Deconstructed. [[spoiler:Sayaka's]] ex-girlfriend ended their relationship out of the belief that they were outgrowing this phase, but [[spoiler:Sayaka]], being a lesbian, ''didn't'' see it as a phase, and was deeply hurt.

* SchoolgirlLesbians:
** For Touko, it might be a case of SingleTargetSexuality towards Yuu. [[spoiler:Sayaka, however, has crushed on two girls already, and is dating another girl in the DistantFinale, though she's not a "schoolgirl" anymore by that point.]]
** In the play, Touko's character is in a relationship with Sayaka's. Sayaka's character doesn't count, since she's older than Touko's and apparently out of school.
