Sawako Kuronuma, called Sadako by her classmates for her resemblance to the character from The_Ring,has always been feared and misunderstood because of her appearance. There are rumors that Sawako can see ghosts and curse people. However, despite her appearances, she is a sweet and timid girl who longs to be able to make friends with everyone and be like everyone else. When her idol, popular boy Kazehaya, begins talking with her, everything changes. She finds herself in a new world, trying to make friends and talking to different people and she can't thank Kazehaya enough for giving her these opportunities. Slowly, but surely, a sweet love is blossoming between the two as they will overtake any circumstance or clear obstacles in their way.
What i really like about this anime is the romantic atmosphere that creates from the very beggining.The characters,the way they act and think and of course sweet Sawako captivates you immediately. Watching it was a beautiful experience cause gradually it takes you away from reality and presents you something different and endlessly cute at the same time.What is also unique it is how this story is so romantic but don't turns out to be a syrupy lovestory.
Anime is adapted from the homonym manga which is still ongoing by Shiina Karuho (she is also the author/artist of Stand by me,Hi Ga Kuretemo Aruiteru:The spring when i was fifteen,Koi Ni Ochiru,Aoi Futari,Crazy For You and more)The series was nominated for the first Manga Taisho Awards in 2008 and it won the best shojo manga award in the 32nd Annual Kodansha Manga awards the same year.
Moreover a live action adaptation of Kimi ni Todoke is to be released in Japanese theatres on September 25, 2010!Mikako Tabe and Haruma Miura will be the lead characters as Sawako and Kazehaya correspondingly and it will be directed by Naoto Kumazawa.Can't wait,hihi
Oh,i think it would be a waste not to mention Kazehaya since he is also my dream man.As I always say if i ever find someone like him i'm going to kidnap him,haha.This boy is gifted, charismatic,super popular and yet so kind and sweet.The way he treats Sawako when everybody else avoiding her is so touching.Of course his benevolent character may turn some people against him because they find him unrealistic and somehow boring.The truth is that although Kazehaya is the personalization of kindness that does not make him less "real" nor boring.The fact that he is so good does not mean that he is flawless.He has flaws and sometimes he is weak.All in all i found more boring and common the motive of "the bad guy turns good" rather than Kazehaya's.Well he should be a role model for all guys,duhh..if only he was real..
