Prelude Season 1 2 From Me to You is a classic Shoujo romance manga that has been beloved by hundreds and thousands of viewers alike. We follow our main character Sawako Kuronuma Mamiko Noto whose journey involves having her own selfgrowth as a fully fledged person through social interactions such as hanging out with friends and making meaningful memories around them whilst traversing through the harsh environment of her surroundings. Its a beautiful and satisfying comingofage sliceoflife anime in and of itself but it manages to go one step above by involving a cute and wholesome romance between Sawako and Shouta Kazehaya Daisuke Namikawa and their journey from a slow yet innocent perspective of romance. Sure the development of the series is quite slow and comparatively slow given the time this series came out but its still irresistibly cute and wholesome with a great sense of comfort and familiarity with its awkwardly tender moments as well as its gloomy moments. The series is definitely not the best out there as there are many other Shoujo mangas that came before and after that have surpassed the level with their storytelling and complexity but this show is not built to be the best. If you just need a series that fills the vibe of having cute characters engaging in cute moments at a slow yet tender pace this is the perfect anime for you. Postlude Season 3 Season 2 of the anime provides a somewhat satisfying ending for audiences alike by providing a highstakes moment leading up to the reveal of finally being together as a couple. As a chapter closes its pages another fresh new page opens which is what Season 3 of Kimi ni Todoke will stand for. We still follow our main characters Sawako and Shouta and their navigation about what it means to be a couple. We get to follow their moments together which is cute and wholesome. The show also does not shy away from providing something thats dramatically intriguing and appropriate for their age. Many criticisms that have been pointed out in the series are that its just a misunderstanding fest but it can be argued that the age of these characters would feel that way especially with firsttime relationship partners who would work and discover together. I also appreciate the series having a proper highlight on its side characters. From the past seasons Chizuru Yoshida Yuuko Sanpei and Ayane Yano Miyuki Sawashiro have their own side plots that are impactful and intriguing to watch especially with the scope of their discovery of true romance but that has been mostly subsided by the main characters journey. Not only do we get to follow the main characters journey in this season but these side characters as well as their personal growth are greatly condensed into this 5episode journey. I would describe Kimi ni Todoke as a simple vanilla sundae with a cookie on top. Sure it might not be the most interestinglooking amidst the variety of loudlooking or diversely flavored options but there is nothing wrong with enjoying something thats simple. The comfort it gives is more than enough. Three seasons later its still serving that same sundae and it never fails to give you a smile.
