Bloom into You, Vol. 8

The emotional depth is really compelling, but I wonder how much of the characters' self-discovery is based on real experiences versus storytelling choices.

The focus on character reflection is beautiful, but I was surprised by how much time was spent on internal monologue. Was that intentional to build empathy?

The way the characters communicate without words really struck me. I’m curious about whether these themes come from the author's personal experiences or observations.
