There was nothing wrong with this book。 It was well written and had good character building and dialogues。 My main issue with this book is that it didn't introduce much that we didn't already know or either knew the outcome。 The first volume introduced the reader to new events from Sayaka's early life prior to the manga in depth, which was such a fun and interesting read。 I found myself thinking through most of this volume that I already know what happening。 I am still enjoying these books and a There was nothing wrong with this book。 It was well written and had good character building and dialogues。 My main issue with this book is that it didn't introduce much that we didn't already know or either knew the outcome。 The first volume introduced the reader to new events from Sayaka's early life prior to the manga in depth, which was such a fun and interesting read。 I found myself thinking through most of this volume that I already know what happening。 I am still enjoying these books and am very excited to read the third volume, where we see Sayaka in her college days。 Overall, I love this story and these characters but this book felt like a lot of filler。 。。。more

Following Saeki Sayaka and Nanami Touko through their first years at high school before the start of Bloom Into You, this second volume feels the weakest of the three because for the most part, the story is one we already know。 We know that nothing happens to further the relationship between the two girls before Koito Yuu arrives fatefully one day at the student council room and it almost feels like the story is waiting for what happens after graduation。That doesn't mean though that there isn't Following Saeki Sayaka and Nanami Touko through their first years at high school before the start of Bloom Into You, this second volume feels the weakest of the three because for the most part, the story is one we already know。 We know that nothing happens to further the relationship between the two girls before Koito Yuu arrives fatefully one day at the student council room and it almost feels like the story is waiting for what happens after graduation。That doesn't mean though that there isn't any point to reading this。 Hitoma Iruma continues to show a deep understanding of Nakatani Nio's original characters and being able to see the relationship from Saeki's point of view gives a new look at much of Bloom Into You。 Nevertheless, this does have that distinct middle-of-a-trilogy feel。 。。。more

Not as strong as the first volume but still a very interesting and heartbreaking read。 Every page just had me going "poor Sayaka"。 The events in this book overap with the original series, so seeing the events through Sayaka's tragic eyes might just make a second rewatch that much more painful。 I really hope the final installment of this series grants her the happiness she deserves。 Not as strong as the first volume but still a very interesting and heartbreaking read。 Every page just had me going "poor Sayaka"。 The events in this book overap with the original series, so seeing the events through Sayaka's tragic eyes might just make a second rewatch that much more painful。 I really hope the final installment of this series grants her the happiness she deserves。 。。。more

台角快出三啊!!別再虐沙彌香啦有原作入間就可以改編得很好雖然不管什麼角色在入間筆下都是愛鑽牛角尖又神經質的膽小鬼但在仲谷原作加持下揪結的沙彌香比較不會想讓人一拳貓下去入間你還是接改編就好望向同樣很紅的入間原創百合安達與島村內容優劣差異不可以道理計原創我覺得實在愧對入間的文名啊

The pacing of the books seems very incoherent and random, the story doesnt doesnt seem to have any motive to it, I'm my opinion the first book was more impactful。 The pacing of the books seems very incoherent and random, the story doesnt doesnt seem to have any motive to it, I'm my opinion the first book was more impactful。 。。。more

The first light novel in this trilogy showed a young Saeki Sayaka coming to terms with her sexuality and her disastrous first relationship and ended just before the manga began。If the first book showed where she came from, this middle volume is focused on what she did when she got there。 It walks a very delicate balancing act that it’s mostly successful at。Does this need to exist? Arguably not, but I can’t say no to new Bloom Into You and this doesn’t tarnish the manga at all and it does make me The first light novel in this trilogy showed a young Saeki Sayaka coming to terms with her sexuality and her disastrous first relationship and ended just before the manga began。If the first book showed where she came from, this middle volume is focused on what she did when she got there。 It walks a very delicate balancing act that it’s mostly successful at。Does this need to exist? Arguably not, but I can’t say no to new Bloom Into You and this doesn’t tarnish the manga at all and it does make me like Sayaka more than I did in the manga proper, so it certainly had a point。Between the two volumes thus far, it’s much easier to see that the way her first romance went made things that much harder on her when she fell for Touko。 I still feel like Sayaka isn’t the most defined character ever, but her motivations, aspirations, and limitations couldn’t be clearer。There is a very nice scene during the cultural festival where this all comes to a head, and knowing where it’s going just makes it seem even sadder as she tries to work up the courage。 It’s good writing and that particular moment really does hit the feels hard。Where the book has trouble is during the parts set directly during the manga or in the lead up to it。 There’s always a risk in following past material like this of being entirely too cute with references - it’s like those time travel stories where suddenly a previous story turns out to have all this nonsense going on behind the scenes which nobody sees but was apparently there the whole time (which is a total lie)。When the girls are trying to resurrect the school play and it gets shot down? Believable。 When they lament that maybe next year they might be able to find somebody who can write a screenplay it makes me want to smack my head into my e-reader。 There are a few too many moments like this for my liking, but I am generally predisposed to dislike prequels, I have to admit。Still, we end with the promise of being shown where Sayaka is going and this upcoming third volume, which pays off an off-hand statement in the final volume of the manga, is the one I’m truly looking forward to。 Sayaka was never my favourite character, but I have gained a better appreciation for her and I certainly want to see her find her happy ending。Four stars。 This is definitely a harder task than merely filling in backstory - telling a story already told in a different way without invalidating anything in the original。 It may not hit the highs of the first volume, but it acquits itself, for the most part, very well。 。。。more

本書大部分是描寫沙彌香與燈子在高一時的互動由於為了接續到原作一開始所以故事中不會有轟轟烈烈的發展比前一本無聊了一點

No me esperaba, para nada, la dirección de esta segunda novela。 La primera era muy lenta y se tomaba muchísimo tiempo para presentar la faceta juvenil de Sayaka y suponerla de base。 Fue la recta final la que me llevó a seguir con ella。 Pero esta segunda entrega cambia por completo y presenta a Sayaka tras un prisma de madurez y sensatez emocional que brilla frente a los problemas de Touko。 Es increíble cómo se adapta al manga sin superponerse ni convertirse tampoco en la versión de Sayaka。 No es No me esperaba, para nada, la dirección de esta segunda novela。 La primera era muy lenta y se tomaba muchísimo tiempo para presentar la faceta juvenil de Sayaka y suponerla de base。 Fue la recta final la que me llevó a seguir con ella。 Pero esta segunda entrega cambia por completo y presenta a Sayaka tras un prisma de madurez y sensatez emocional que brilla frente a los problemas de Touko。 Es increíble cómo se adapta al manga sin superponerse ni convertirse tampoco en la versión de Sayaka。 No es el Bloom into You de Nakatani ni es la historia de Yu y Touko, e Iruma lo plasma tan bien en la novela que me he pasado casi toda la lectura subrayando。 En general, se siente mucho más madura esta versión que el manga original y ofrece una lectura tan bonita que no me lo creo。 No me esperaba lecciones tan importantes de una obra así。 。。。more

This second light novel of the Bloom Into You spinoff, 'Regarding Saeki Sayaka' is a lot of fun even if it doesn't stand along quite as well as the first volume -- as the author's note at the end remarks, this volume is a lot of commentary on, and another viewpoint of, the events of the original manga, and so probably wouldn't be as meaningful without that base to begin from。 That said, Sayaka is extremely relatable here as she continues to be both deeply committed to figuring out her feelings o This second light novel of the Bloom Into You spinoff, 'Regarding Saeki Sayaka' is a lot of fun even if it doesn't stand along quite as well as the first volume -- as the author's note at the end remarks, this volume is a lot of commentary on, and another viewpoint of, the events of the original manga, and so probably wouldn't be as meaningful without that base to begin from。 That said, Sayaka is extremely relatable here as she continues to be both deeply committed to figuring out her feelings on relationships and love, while also being completely oblivious to everyone's feelings around her。 Okay, that's perhaps a bit unfair -- she is pretty insightful about the inner works of the girl she's fallen for, and figures out Touko's secret -- but she also decides that the proper response is to be firmly committed to remaining by Touko's side forever without saying anything, while missing entirely the friends who see right through her, and the various crushes that others nurse for her too。 Sayaka is adorable, and I love her for it; there's a bit at the end, where as a new college student she muses about how high-school her could see how much her childhood self didn't know about relationships, and now she knows what she should have done as a high schooler, and it's just like, keep going, you're almost at a revelation。。。。 :) Anyway, there's a third volume about (as far as I know) her college life and finally meeting someone _and_ talking to them, and I'm really looking forward to it。 。。。more

A diferencia del volumen 1, se disfrutará mucho más si ya se leyó toda la historia de los mangas de bloom into you。Aunque en los mangas me gustó mucho cómo acabó la serie (Aunque a mi gusto faltqron aclarar unos detalles), personalmente sentí feo por Sayaka。Bueno el volumen 2 solo hace que uno se sienta peor pero explica cómo se dió la relación de amistad entre Sayaka y Touko。 Vemos todas las oportunidades que tuvo para ella "ser" Yuu pero el medio no la dejó。Creo se debe leer si les gustó el ma A diferencia del volumen 1, se disfrutará mucho más si ya se leyó toda la historia de los mangas de bloom into you。Aunque en los mangas me gustó mucho cómo acabó la serie (Aunque a mi gusto faltqron aclarar unos detalles), personalmente sentí feo por Sayaka。Bueno el volumen 2 solo hace que uno se sienta peor pero explica cómo se dió la relación de amistad entre Sayaka y Touko。 Vemos todas las oportunidades que tuvo para ella "ser" Yuu pero el medio no la dejó。Creo se debe leer si les gustó el manga。 。。。more

They weren't always around, but they were certainly fun to read about。 It's well written, as volume 1 was, and lets you empathise with Sayaka。 Although, personally speaking, there were a lot of parts of the novel that I felt a bit called-out by, which, I mean, I didn't think I'd be, starting the novel。 There are also a few callbacks to the first book, like her grandmother's words, 'To pick up on things quickly meant becoming a coward', and her remark about seeing her name in kanji, at the end。 Similar to the first volume, there are also many metaphors and parallels being drawn here and there。 Also, we have a lot of foreshadowing and just, well, things that hint at other things that are happening, like TOUIO。 I'm not very good at describing the things that were written but, like the first volume, I had a lot of moments were I was thinking, "Man, is is ok for the author to do this? We're really foreshadowing, huh?"She is introspective as usual, and it's really nice to have a different view on the things that had happened in the manga。 Well, and also to have a throwback to Yuu and Sayaka's conversations, which are always entertaining to read。 Seeing Sayaka's thoughts like "As I observed Kuze-senpai's excitement, I privately decided not to vote for him" made me like her more, haha。 I really enjoyed this book, basically! I'm really enjoying reading about Sayaka, and I can't wait for volume 3, which is, well, set after the manga! So I'm excited to see how it goes。Some quotes I liked:- People act as though they don't see themselves, but in actuality, they're very self-involved When a person evaluates others, they use themselves as a standard of comparison。 People are very familiar with their own appearances。- The distance between you gives that person a kind of charm。 Sometimes it's that distance, that particular angle, that attracts someone to another person。 You're trying to get closer by moving ahead。。。 but when you do that, you see the other person from an angle you hadn't before。 The backdrop changes, and things that were hidden before become visible。 Even the things you liked about the person might look entirely different。- I don't think you could call my self-centered fear of being hated for overstepping into her personal life 'kindness'。 I was scared, so I would wait by the sidelines until she came to me。- When you always have your sights set on something that high, other people might think you're strange。。。 At least, that's the fear, I think。 And if people laughed at you, even a little, your dreams would wither away。 Maybe that was why it felt so blissful to find someone you can safely bare your heart to。- Dreams were just as much a part of reality as anything else, so I couldn't quite grasp the meaning of the word 'realistic' here。 No matter what we try to do or see, only reality spreads out before us。 The question is what you do about it。- You can't be anyone but yourself, no matter how much you change over the course of your life。 And the only role we could perfectly perform was that of the person we were born to play。 If you tried to replace someone, no matter how well you mimicked them, your imperfect performance would only lead to your own disappointment。 (or, Sayaka calls Touko out in her brain! But only in her brain。 We introspecting。) 。。。more
