The anime "Yagate Kimi ni Naru" has been airing since October 2018. It is based on the manga of the same name by Nakatani Nio, which is currently being serialized in the manga magazine "Monthly Comic Dengeki Daioh". The story begins with the protagonist, Koito Yuu, a first-year high school student who does not understand the feeling of falling in love, being confessed to by a close friend at the time of graduating from junior high school, but not being able to reply. After entering high school, she is still struggling to reply, so she consults with Nanami Touko, a second-year student and member of the student council. Nanami says that she is not moved by anyone who confesses to her, but immediately after hearing Koito's consultation, she confesses, "I think I'm falling in love with you"... This is a work that depicts the love story between Koito and Nanami. In this article, I would like to introduce the charms of Koito Yuu, the protagonist of "Yagate Kimi ni Naru".

Koito Yuu is the protagonist of Bloom Into You. She is a first-year high school student at Tomi Higashi High School. She often hangs out with her classmates Kana Koyomi, who loves reading, and Hinata Akari, who is on the basketball team. As the trial period comes to an end, Koito is wondering if she should join a cultural club to change things up in high school, when her teacher suggests that she join the student council. She decides to go and help out. After that, she ends up showing up at student council meetings and becomes a student council officer.
② Cute appearance and ponytail hairstyle

Koito Yuu has ponytails and a cute appearance that still retains a childish feel. She seems to use a regular school bag to go to school. She wears knee-length black socks to match her uniform. Her skirt length is shorter than that of Nanami Touko, who is also a member of the student council.
③ A personality that cannot refuse when asked for a favor

Koito Yuu has a weakness when it comes to requests. When she was wondering which club to join after entering Tohmi Higashi High School, a teacher suggested that she join the student council, but the suggestion was actually due to a shortage of staff in the student council, and Koito brushed it off by saying, "Well, I'm interested, so I guess it's okay." Furthermore, when Nanami Touko, who was running for student council president, asked her to be the "recommendation manager," she reluctantly accepted, even though it was a role that she was not good at, such as speaking in front of people.
④ She actually has a cool side

Koito Yuu has an impressive cute appearance, but she is surprisingly cool inside. She calmly analyzes her senior Nanami Touko, who is crazy about Koito. Sometimes she even has the leeway to make Nanami go crazy. He is a character not to be underestimated.
⑤ The type that gets hooked once she starts

Koito Yuu is someone who cannot refuse requests from others, but she is also the type that gets hooked once she starts something that she was asked to do. Even in middle school, she was asked to join the softball team and managed to win a regular spot. When she was put in charge of recommending Nanami Touko for the student council general election, she was initially reluctant, but her friends commented that she was trying her best, showing just how hard she worked.
⑥ A kind and considerate personality

It was before the election speech and voting took place in the gymnasium. Nanami Touko didn't look nervous at all. In the midst of all this, Koito Yuu decides to go outside because she is feeling a bit nervous, but asks Nanami to accompany her. Once outside, Koito seems surprisingly calm. Nanami then realizes that she had brought her out because she was thinking of her. Koito then responds, "I thought that even if I was nervous, it would be hard for me to say it..." She has a kind personality and is able to act with consideration for other people's feelings.
⑦There is also a scene where she tries to understand Nanami

Koito Yuu doesn't really understand love and is worried about what it means to be "special," but there is also a scene where she tries to understand Nanami Touko, who has fallen in love with her. Even though Nanami likes me, I still can't change, and it makes me feel bad, and I sometimes brood.
⑧High school girl longing for love

For Koito Yuu, the love she read about in books and heard about in songs was sparkling, and she hoped that one day she too would feel as if she had grown wings and become airy. However, even though a boy she was close to confessed his feelings to her when she graduated from middle school, she still didn't understand the feeling of being "special." However, after Nanami Touko confessed her feelings to her, and as she spent time with Nanami, it seemed like she gradually began to understand something. There's something charming about Koito that makes you want to root for her change.
⑨The appearance of moving forward despite the conflict

Koito Yuu is always calm, but she also has an insincere side. After watching Nanami Touko run in the relay race at the sports festival, Koito's feelings towards Nanami changed. However, Nanami likes "Koito who doesn't like her", so if she were to admit her feelings, she wouldn't be able to be with Nanami. One of the charms of Koito is that she is struggling with this, but still wants to somehow change her relationship with Nanami.
⑩Voice actor is from "Aikatsu!" Takada Yuuki from "Yagate Kimi ni Naru"
