Manga Thoughts: Bloom into You 5

Getting to a representation of a budding same-sex relationship I have fewer acknowledged hangups about (although maybe no more qualified to say anything about without unknowingly embarrassing myself), I turned to the fifth volume of Bloom Into You. This time, I seemed able to pick up the story on the fly; there have been times when even eagerly awaited and swiftly devoured volumes of manga, if in series that have run long enough over here the gaps between volumes have opened to the same lengths as in Japan (where it ought to be easier to follow their stories serialized, even with all the anxious reports crossing the Pacific of manga magazines folding in this age of smart phones), can be a little hard to get back up to speed with.
