\u258d<\/strong><\/span>About Kimi ni Todoke<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kimi ni Todoke: From Me to You is a Japanese sh\u014djo romance manga by Karuho Shiina. It was published by Shueisha in Bessatsu Margaret from 2005 to 2017 and collected in 30 tank\u014dbon volumes. In 2008, it won the Best Sh\u014djo Manga award in the 32nd Annual Kodansha Manga Award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shueisha published the manga’s 30th and final compiled book volume in March 2018. Shiina ran the Kimi ni Todoke Bangaihen ~Unmei no Hito~ (Known in English as Kimi ni Todoke Spinoff: Soulmate) spinoff manga in Bessatsu Margaret from April 2018 to May 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story takes place in\u00a0Hokkaido. 15-year-old high school freshman Sawako Kuronuma\u2014dubbed\u00a0Sadako\u00a0by her classmates for her resemblance to the character from\u00a0The Ring\u2014has always been feared and misunderstood because of her appearance; rumors around school report that she can see ghosts and curse people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, despite her ominous appearance, she is actually a sweet and unassuming girl who only longs to be helpful; she has been shunned for so long that the idea of making friends has become foreign to her. When a 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
