Here’s my take after reading 25 Chapters of Yagate Kimi ni naru by Nio Natakatani.
For those who check my manga reading lists and reviews, I like Shojou Ai or Yuri stories.
I have recently discovered this currently ongoing manga just a few days ago. Yagakimi is surprisingly light and easy to read similar to Asagao to Kase San.
The story revolves around Yuu Koito a junior student who adores and wishes to fall in love head over heels, and Nanami Touko a stunning student council president who does not want to do anything about accepting love confessions or going out on a date.
Things started to get interesting when Yuu accidentally saw a failed confession of a young man to Nanami which led to their first unlikely meeting that in turn led to Nanami accidentally confessing to Yuu.
What I love about this story is the innocence of how it is presented to the readers. It is honest in the feelings of the characters. Yuu is confused about what she should feel but still going with the flow, and Nanami just can’t help herself but create chances to show her love and affection to the conflicted Yuu.
I can genuinely feel the reality of falling in love and being confused in love. I can say that Nio-san did great in showing this to the readers with both the subtlety and frankness of the two main characters of the story. It is something that I can easily relate my feelings to as someone who also fell in love and got confused by it.
The art is light and fresh and the story is refreshing to read. The supporting characters are also great by themselves and I can’t help to think that I can easily relate to them one way or another.
What more can I say? Read it and enjoy!
I would give Yagakimi 9/10 <3
