[ANIME REVIEW] Kimi ni Todoke

Kuronuma Sawako is completely misunderstood by her classmates. Her timid and sweet demeanor is often mistaken for malicious behavior. This is due to her resemblance to the ghost girl from "The Ring", which has led her peers to give her the nickname Sadako. Longing to make friends and live a normal life, she is naturally drawn to Kazehaya Shouta, the most popular guy in class, whose "100% refreshing" personality earns him great admiration from Sawako. So when Kazehaya starts talking to her, maybe there is hope for the friendships Sawako has always longed for. Maybe...there is even a little hope for some romance in her future.

The first time I heard this anime from, I think it would be a great opportunity to watch or read a shoujo genre work since I was so addicted to shounen anime that time. Well, my onee-chan was so hooked up into it and she's bugging me to watch more of shoujo and so that we can discuss anything not related to shounen...

And by the time I read that manga... (I first read it) It leaves a bittersweet sensation through my mouth!
First, I was not used to romance in the first place, so why the hell I dared to read that kind of stuff? And then I realized that I was still a girl.
So from what my useless prologue says, the manga left a big mark of disastrous materials inside my heart. And it literally soften me up.

Indeed, the story summary was what excites me. It sounds like there was an interesting spin on the storyline. But when I'm into it, I can really say that it was just like any other high school romances manga. The shy-outcast girl meets the sparkling-popular guy and boom! they fell inlove. But for me, it was still a good one to watch for the plot.

Characters are very heartwarming. I think they we're cool when I'm still starting at it but throughout the series, I got tired of them, especially the two main character that didn't get much of development. But with Chizu and Ryuu, they give a nice impression on giving out their characters and I'm happy for that. XD (lol. I can't say more)

Art is great, unique and you can say that the mangaka really gives an effort in creating from character and to the sparkling backgrounds.

Overall. I'm satisfied with it. Because it gives me that chill factor, it actually made me cry, smile, laugh, think about what's next and hate some points. (I think only a great series can make someone like that!) And yes, I know I bashed this anime on my review above, but it was still a great anime that otaku should watch!
