YagaKimi: Saeki Sayaka ni Tsuite 3

Author: Hitoma Iruma

Illustrator: Nio Nakatani

Label: Dengeki Bunko

Release Date: 10 May 2020

My Score: 5/5

English Release: This series has been released in English as Bloom Into You: Regarding Saeki Sayaka.

This volume concludes the Saeki Sayaka Trilogy and provides Sayaka with the happy romantic relationship that she never got to have in the manga. It's immensely satisfying and well-written and I honestly don't have much to say about it. This series is very character driven and introspective with no drama. I really enjoyed that part about the series, but it does make it hard to talk much about. Regardless, this is definitely one of my favourite light novel series now. It explores the character of Sayaka so well and manages to keep with a tone that matches the manga so well it was easy to imagine the scenes as manga panels. It's immensely readable and compelling. I loved it. It's definitely worth the read if you like the Yagakimi manga and want more Sayaka.

Yagate Kimi ni Naru: Saeki Sayaka ni Tsuite 2

Author: Hitoma Iruma

Illustrator: Nio Nakatani

Label: Dengaki Bunko

Release Date: 10 May 2019

My Score: 5/5

English Release: This series has been released in English as Bloom Into You: Regarding Saeki Sayaka.

This second entry in the Saeki Sayaka spin-off focuses on her relationship with Touko. We start off with a chapter that kind of summarises the events of the manga, adding in some additional scenes with Sayaka and Koito. The chapter ends with Sayaka's confession to Touko and then we have a chapter that jumps back in time to Sayaka and Touko as first years. This is where most of the volume takes place, as Sayaka learns more about Touko and about herself.

While I still rated this volume 5/5 due to the character writing, atmosphere, and immense readability, I didn't like this volume quite as much as the first one. Most of this is down to it exploring ground that feels like it was already covered well enough in the manga. While we didn't see much of the beginning of Sayaka's and Touko's relationship in the manga, I feel like we saw enough of it to understand the relationship and how it formed. While it was nice to see their relationship explored more, it didn't feel like it really added much. But, I must admit that I did reread the manga so recently that their relationship is fresh in my mind. I might feel differently if I was reading it without that context. I also feel like it is necessary to explore that relationship in a trilogy about Sayaka. This is an important relationship for Sayaka and her character development. It's an important part of Sayaka's life. Without this relationship, Sayaka's story would be incomplete. So, even though I did not find this volume quite as interesting as the first one, I still really enjoyed it and I think it's a necessary volume in the trilogy.

I am very excited to read volume 3 which will have an entirely new story, only briefly alluded to in the main series. I really want to know what kind of person Sayaka ends up dating.
