▍About Kimi ni Todoke
Kimi ni Todoke: From Me to You is a Japanese shōjo romance manga by Karuho Shiina. It was published by Shueisha in Bessatsu Margaret from 2005 to 2017 and collected in 30 tankōbon volumes. In 2008, it won the Best Shōjo Manga award in the 32nd Annual Kodansha Manga Award.
Sawako Kuronuma is a high school freshman who has been dubbed Sadako by her classmates due to her resemblance to the character. Because of this, she’s been ostracized by her peers and rumors even start to spread that she can see ghosts and curse people, ruining her prospect of making friends.
Despite how she looks though, Sawako is an incredibly sweet girl who just wants to be helpful. That’s when Kazehaya, a popular boy in school begins talking to her and helping her make friends. This encounter changes her outlook on life and eventually brings joy back into it, and eventually, a romance begins to blossom between the two, no matter how people see them.
