What is Kimi ni Todoke about?
Kimi ni Todoke (From Me to You) tells the story of Sawako and her self-discovery through the help of Kazehaya, her love interest. Kuronuma Sawako has always been ostracized by her classmates because of her name, mannerisms, and appearance which heavily resembles that of the ghost Sadako (from the film Ring). She finds it hard to clear this misunderstanding because people tend to run away or apologize profusely when approached. This resulted in her getting used to being ignored by her classmates. Despite this, she remains to be a bubbly and nice person towards others.
When she met and got closer to Kazehaya, she slowly started to gain confidence in herself. She even gained friends such as Chizuru and Ayane, who became best friends with Sawako. From that point on, they would continue to hang out and eventually date each other. It’s a slow-burn romance anime that will leave you wanting more!
