Synopsis: "Sadako", that is the nickname given by the students where Sawako is studying. She looks so dark and creepy but she was just shy and doesn't know how to socialize. In fact she wanted to know how it feels like to have friends so she was doing her best to talk to other people but it turns out that these people were creep out of her. Until a guy named Kazehaya greeted her without casually and later they became good friends along with other students who knew who really Sawako is. However, when Sawako realized that she fell for Kazehaya, she needs to learn how to deal with her feelings once again.
(Sawako first met Kazehaya and also the first time someone smiled on her)
Thoughts: I have been watching shounen animes lately so I planned to watch a shoujo before starting some shounen anime once again. Kimi ni Todoke is one of the popular shoujo anime ever since I was in high school but I am so ashamed of myself that is is only recently when I watched this anime.
(Sawako was forced to play as the white lady in a test of courage game)
Sawako is one of the purest character in shoujo world. She is with Suzume of the manga "Hirunaka no Ryusei of Mika Yamamori-sensei. By the way, I upload a video of my 6 completed recommended shoujo mangas for starters in my facebook page. Here is the link.
Going back, Sawako is so cute and adorable and no wonder the students are drawing near her. Meanwhile Kazehaya is not your typical leading man in the story. I love how normal he was. Unlike in other stories, he more like your normal friend in high school. Greedy, short tempered and he's a possessive guy. I love how Sawako had her character development along the series. You will see her progress in being a sociable girl. She mentioned in the story that she wanted to be like Kazehaya who can talk to anyone, regardless if that person is a loner or not. There is also character development on the part of Sawako's friends, good thing they wrote a separate story about her friends specially with Chizuru and Ryu (oh love these two~)
(A sweet smile of Kazehaya towards Sawako)
The only thing that I find annoying on this anime is that these protagonists are sooooooooooooo DENSE. Their feelings are obviously mutual but none of these two wanted to approach nearer to level up their relationship. I love how their friends dealt with them, they didn't poke their nose on their business cause if they need to know each other's feeling, much better if they are the one to figure it out.
(Kazehaya knew that it was Sawako who played as the ghost, he sat with her cause e thinks she might be scared being alone)
Animation/Art Style: 9/10
All hail Production I.G! The art style is somewhat old but remember I just recently watched this. My bad. Some drawings were not that polished but well yeah, it's okay. Chibi Sawako is the cutest!! and the whole art is so shoujo like. Wew LOVE IT.
Soundtrack: 10/10
Since it is a shoujo anime, I knew it! The OST have it's sweet melody. It's so relaxing to listen into it. More, it's really good along with the scenes of the anime.
(Kazehaya giving a gift from the class to Sawako)
Overall: 10/10
Though I was king of annoyed of the two, it is worth the wait! Now I understood why they love this anime. This is very recommended.
