Summary:

Sawako Kuronuma - dubbed Sadako by her classmates for her resemblance to the character from The Ring - has always been feared and misunderstood because of her appearance; rumors around school report that she can see ghosts and curse people. However, despite her ominous appearance, she is actually a sweet and timid girl who only longs to be able to make friends and be liked by everyone else. When her idol, the popular boy Kazehaya, begins talking with her, everything changes. She finds herself in a new world, making new friends and talking to different people, and she can't thank Kazehaya enough for giving her these opportunities. Slowly, but surely, a sweet love blossoms between the two as they overcome circumstances and obstacles that stand in their way.

Own opinion:

Kimi ni todoke is a very dramatic anime show, why? Because it shows how painful a one-sided love is. But in the end it also shows the good results when you work hard and never give up until the end. So for me this anime is one of the best romance genre anime out there.

Rank: 5 over 5 stars
