Manga Thoughts: Bloom into You Anthology 1

Going on to spinoffs of Bloom Into You says a bit about how the original manga got and held my attention. Translating and publishing those spinoffs seems to hint Seven Seas could count on continued attention from more people than just me (although I suppose I don’t know that much about “manga spinoffs beyond anime adaptations” in Japan itself). For one particular spinoff, though, I had a particular push towards it from a different direction. Some time ago I happened on a “scanlation” of a Bloom Into You “anthology” of short comics by a number of artists. There might have been a few “it might be the only chance I’ll ever get to read and understand this” thoughts in taking advantage of the “scanlation,” but while its fan translation did seem a lot less stilted than a great many others I’ve seen (something that’s kept me quite ready to buy official translations) seeing a Seven Seas release of the anthology scheduled left me thinking I had to buy the legitimate version.
