Summary:
Kimi ni Todoke is about a girl named Kuronuma Sawako. She is nicknamed Sadako (from the ring) because many people see her as strange and often mistake her for a ghost. A boy called Kazehaya kun becomes her friend and, to her, is "100% refreshness."errorsource
Kuronuma Sawako is nicknamed Sadako due to her resemblance to the girl from the Japanese horror movies "The Ring". Shunned by her classmates, her life starts to change as she befriends Shōta Kazehaya, a very popular boy in her class.
Kuronuma Sawako’s one wish in life is to make friends. That’s a difficult proposition when everyone who meets her cowers in terror. She admires her classmate, Kazehaya-kun, a popular, easygoing and 100% refreshing guy who is nice with everyone, even with her.
this series was definately more 'old school' and more of a study of the characters and their individual personalities than a complicated story. This was written with a more 'pure' look at what high school life would be, with an 'almost kiss' being a big deal. However, the progression of the main character from a friendless, completely introverted and painfully shy person to an almost 'normal' member of her class keeps you supprisingly interested. Slower paced, indeed, but a good watch.
