Bloom Into You (Light Novel): Regarding Saeki Sayaka Series

THIRD TIME’S THE CHARM Saeki Sayaka is no stranger to unrequited love. What she’s not used to is having someone confess their feelings for her—until Edamoto Haru, an underclassman, does exactly that in Sayaka’s second year of college. Haru is forward and unhesitating in her affections, the opposite of cautious, reserved Sayaka—but if she can find the courage to reach back, this time, she might find what she’s been waiting for all along. The final volume!

ONCE BITTEN, TWICE AS SHY After her first girlfriend broke her heart, Saeki Sayaka swore she would never let herself fall in love again. Then she started high school—and met Nanami Touko. Drawn to each other from their very first meeting, the two girls develop a friendship that slowly begins to blossom into something more. But is Saeki ready to put her heart on the line one more time? Or will fear hold her back from taking the plunge?

A light novel spin-off for the hit yuri manga and anime series Bloom Into You! Saeki Sayaka has always been an old soul—serious and reserved, preferring to focus on her studies rather than make friends. Until, that is, a romantic confession from another girl in middle school turns her carefully ordered world upside down. Though none of her classes have prepared her for this, Saeki must now come to terms with her sexuality in this gentle, coming-of-age novel about grappling with first love, growing up, and relating to other people.
