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 Yu, 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 respond, 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 my own ranking of the famous quotes that appear in "Yagate Kimi ni Naru".

 

10th place: "I feel like Nanami-senpai is special"

When Maki Seiji encounters Koito Yu and Nanami Touko kissing, he later asks Koito, "Are you and Nanami-senpai dating?" In response, Koito asks Maki not to tell Nanami that she saw it. Maki promises not to tell anyone, but then says, "Koito, you really do like Nanami-senpai, don't you?" He continues, saying that Koito is more worried about Nanami than herself, and that "Nanami-senpai is special to me." Taken aback by this, Koito stands there perplexed and says, "It's nothing special..." It's a great quote that shows that Nanami's presence has changed in Koito's mind.

While practicing for the student council play to be held at the school festival, Ichigaya Tomoyuki, an alumna of a community theater company, comes to teach the student council, who are new to acting. Ichigaya was a member of the student council, so he had contact with Nanami's sister. Because of this, on the way home after Ichigaya taught her about acting, Nanami asked her what kind of person her sister was. The sister that Ichigaya described was a completely different person from the one Nanami knew, as she bullied the student council members and asked them for help with her summer vacation assignments. After that, the days of practicing the play continued, and on the way home after the practice camp ended, Nanami went to Koito's house. There, Nanami told Koito that she didn't know who she should aim to be from now on, because she had thought her sister was perfect, and when she heard about her sister who was so far from that, she asked Koito, "Do I have to become someone?" Nanami asked, but Nanami couldn't find any meaning in being herself, so she pressed him, "Yu, please don't fall in love with me, okay?" Furthermore, Nanami continues by saying that because she hates herself, she can't love someone who likes the things she hates, but that she wants to love Yuu. It's a sad and poignant line, as if Yuu is being reminded that Nanami will leave him if he doesn't continue to hide this, even though Nanami has long since become a special person to him.

 

8th place: "I wonder if I'm not lonely anymore"

When Maki Seiji, who mistakenly thought that Koito Yuu and Nanami Touko were dating, were teasing Koito. When Koito says, "I don't fall in love with anyone," he responds, "Then you're just like me." Afterwards, Maki says that while he thinks it's good and understands when he sees other people's love lives, he somehow feels like it's not his world. Koito asks if that doesn't make her feel lonely. Maki replies that it's fun to watch everyone from this distance, and when Koito asks if she doesn't feel lonely, she replies that she used to feel lonely, but "You tell me you love me, even though I can't say it back, so I guess I'm not lonely anymore." However, when Maki sees Koito's expression at that moment, he realizes that it's not the expression of someone who isn't lonely. These words show that Koito has been lying to herself, and that a big change is coming in her feelings for Nanami.

 

7th place: "I want to help Nanami-senpai"

The time when the student council election campaign speech was held in the gymnasium. Koito Yu, the person in charge of recommending Nanami Touko, fluently speaks the words that she has practiced over and over again as her speech. After Koito finishes speaking the words she had memorized, she ad-libs, "That's why I want to become a student council member." During the election campaign, Nanami-senpai was doing everything perfectly, and she thought she wasn't needed, but if Nanami-senpai said there was something she could do, she declared in front of the whole school, "I want to help Nanami-senpai." This famous quote shows that something has changed in Koito's mind about Nanami.

 

6th place: "Nothing's changed. Don't worry."

It was before the student council election debate and voting took place in the gymnasium. Nanami Touko didn't look nervous at all. In the midst of all this, Koito Yuu is feeling a bit nervous and tries to go outside, but asks Nanami if she can accompany her. When she goes outside, Koito seems calmer than expected. Nanami realizes that she took her out thinking of her. Then Koito says, "I thought that even if you were nervous, it would be hard to say it...". In reality, Nanami was so nervous that her hands were shaking. Noticing this, Koito asks, "If you're shaking so much, why don't you ask someone, like Saeki-senpai?" However, Nanami immediately replies, "That's no good," and tells Koito about her past when she was ordinary, how something happened that made her unable to remain ordinary, and how now that she's become special rather than ordinary, she wants to remain special. Nanami says, "It's weird to show you a place like this and then call me special..." Koito says nonchalantly, "What are you talking about now?" During the election period, Koito, who had been watching Nanami closer than anyone else, said, "Even if you show your weak side, nothing will change. It'll be fine." This one word from Koito was a great relief for Nanami.

 

5th place: "I won't fall in love with you, senpai"

This happened after Nanami Touko suggested reviving the student council play at the school festival. Koito Yuu was looking into the student council play, which was an annual tradition but was discontinued seven years ago, as it seems to have something to do with the student council president from seven years ago. The student council president from seven years ago was Nanami Touko's older sister who died in a traffic accident. After her sister died, Nanami made an effort to become someone who everyone loved like her sister. However, thinking about Nanami who continues to act like her sister even though she is forcing herself to do so, Koito suggests that she stop the student council play. She says that there will always be someone who will like Nanami even if she doesn't force herself. Koito said this because she wanted to know the real Nanami and still be with her and like her, but Nanami replied that she can't stop being special in front of everyone and that she will do the play even if Koito doesn't go with her. Koito realized that she had assumed that Nanami would listen to her and that she would never leave her. So Koito, not wanting to leave Nanami, says, "You don't want to be affirmed as your weak or perfect self, but you want to be with someone. That's why it's me, right?" She continues, "I've never fallen in love with either of my seniors. Not ever, not ever." and lies, "I'm not going to fall in love with my seniors." It's a heartbreaking and memorable line, in which Koito lies after realizing that she can't fall in love if she wants to be with Nanami.

 

4th place: "But I like that about you"

When the exam period was approaching. At first, Koito Yuu and Nanami Touko were studying together in the library, but as the exams drew closer, the library began to get crowded. Koito and Nanami have lost a place to study, so Koito invites Nanami to study in her room. Nanami comes to Koito's room, but even when she starts studying, she seems uneasy. Koito approaches Nanami and points out that it's strange, but Nanami replies with a blush, "It's only natural to be excited when you come to the room of a girl you like!" She also tells Koito to be careful of her defenseless behavior. Nanami confides her anxiety, "I'm worried. I have to be you, but you're not." In response, Koito says, "I don't think there's any reason why I have to be Nanami-senpai... but I know that Nanami-senpai needs me the most, so if you ask me to be with you, I'll do it." Hearing this, Nanami says with a blush, "That's what worries me about you, but I like that about you." This is a famous quote that conveys Nanami's pure love for Koito.  

3rd place: "Because I think I'm falling in love with you"

After entering Tohmi East High School, the protagonist Koito Yuu, who was wondering which club to join, is introduced to the student council by her teacher. As she was heading to the student council room to take a look around, she encountered a confession scene. She quickly hid and looked in, and saw a male student confessing to a female student. However, the male student had been rejected and was saying, "I'm not good enough for you at all...", when the female student interrupted her and said, "I just don't intend to go out with anyone who confesses to me." Koito was watching this, but the female student who had been confessed to seemed to have noticed her presence. When she was called out, "Is anyone there?" and went out, it was the female student, Touko Nanami, a member of the student council. Having met Nanami for the first time, Koito thought of Nanami as a "cool senior". When Koito started to visit the student council room, she saw Nanami saying, "Because I've never been excited when someone told me they liked me before," and consulted her about her troubles. The trouble was that after graduating from junior high school, a boy she was close to confessed to her, but she was unable to respond. Koito longed for love, but didn't understand what it meant to be special. Koito thought that Nanami might understand her feelings, so she asked for advice. Immediately after the advice, she received a call from a boy who had confessed his feelings to her. Although Koito was nervous, Nanami's hand held hers gave her courage and she was able to reject the confession. Koito was relieved after hanging up the phone, but Nanami wouldn't let go of her hand. While Koito was wondering what to do, Nanami asked, "You said that Yu doesn't know what's special, right?" and "Don't you think of anyone as special?" Koito replied, "Yes, I'm sure everyone," and then her senior took her hand, and before she knew it, her senior's face was close to her. Koito continued, "Aren't you just like me...?" To which Nanami replied, "No, I'm not," and confessed, "Because I think I'm going to fall in love with you." This is a famous quote from the beginning of "Bloom Into You" that shows the relationship between the two in motion.  

Second place: "Let me love you"

Koito Yuu and Nanami Touko are interviewed by the newspaper club about the student council general election. After the interview, Koito and Nanami stand next to each other for a group photo with the other candidates and the person in charge of recommendations, but when they are told to get a little closer, their hands bump into each other. Koito quickly apologizes, but Nanami says, "Oh, okay," and something seems a bit off. Sensing this, Koito grabs Nanami's hand just before the photo is taken. What Koito sees is Nanami blushing all the way to her ears. Seeing this, Koito feels betrayed, as she believed Nanami's words, "I've never felt excited when someone told me they liked me," and asked her for advice, but she thought they were just as close as each other, and didn't know what "special" was yet. Because of this, Koito decides to tell Nanami that she can't fall in love with her the next time they meet. During a meeting at a cafe, when Koito tries to bring up the topic, Nanami says, "I'm not asking you to go out with me," as if she has read the future. She continues, "I know you don't think anyone is special, Koito. You don't like me either, and that's okay. So let me like you." This famous quote shows Nanami's honest feelings towards Koito.

When they were preparing for the sports festival, Koito Yuu came to the warehouse, and Nanami Touko also came. There, Nanami tried to kiss Koito many times, but Koito said she was busy and wanted to come back quickly. So Nanami says she'll hold back for now, but when the sports festival is over, she asks for a reward. The reward is a kiss from Koito. Koito responds with an exasperated "Well, that's okay." And then, on the day of the sports festival. The student council is to participate in a relay race between clubs, and they gather on the grounds. The relay starts, and the baton is passed from Taku Dojima to Seiji Maki, from Maki to Koito, from Koito to Sayaka Saeki, and finally from Saeki to Nanami. Koito watches the relay to see it through, but is captivated by Nanami's running figure. Even after the relay is over, Koito seems a little strange. After the sports festival is over, Koito and Nanami head to the warehouse again. Nanami begs for a reward and waits for him to kiss her, but Koito doesn't know what's wrong, but she's worried that she shouldn't be the one to kiss him. So Koito tells Nanami that it's weird to do it when she doesn't like him, and tries to get her to give up. However, Nanami decides not to break her promise, so she starts kissing Koito herself. While being kissed by Nanami, Koito realizes that she has fallen in love with Nanami, even though she says she doesn't like her. However, in her mind, she is trying not to look at the sound of her heart beating, thinking, "I can hear my heartbeat...it's not my heartbeat, it's yours. Because it's going too fast." This is a famous line that shows the conflict she is feeling.
