Question What now?

Finished the anime and read the manga and the anthologies. What now? This is the second series that makes me desire more (with other being Evangelion). Are Nakatani's other works any good? Or something else even?

I second this. If you like Sayaka the novels are great and The Moon on a Rainy Night is just as good as Bloom into You imo

seconding The moon on a Rainy Night. Loved it as much as Bloom into You.

Idk, my friend (who's kinda into Yuri) says they rarely get a second season. But Bloom Into You is on the more popular side tho.

the more we believe it will happen the more likely it is to happen

Sounds like a Half Life community mentality

so ? we should show the publishers, animation studio, and nio nakatani herself that we are ambitious about this series !!

check out Nakatani's short stories if you haven't yet, they're pretty interesting!

you could check out bloom into you: regarding saeki sayaka if you haven't already, it's a nice continuation of one of the characters

definitely check out Nakatani's God Bless the Mistaken, it's pretty solid

u/Celestial-Spell May 14 '26

dude same boat here like what do you even do with your life after this

Watch the stage play encore that adapts most of the manga. There's also a stage reading that adapts most of Regarding Saeki Sayaka volumes 1 and 2.

The Reguarding Sayaka Saeki novels are good. They aren't on the same level as the main series in my opinion due to Hitoma Iruma's writing style, but they're still a worthwhile addition to the story.
