Kimi ni Todoke : Shouta + Sawako = ♥

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. (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com)

Kimi ni Todoke is one of the best shojo manga I've ever read. I don't really like high school shojo manga/anime, (actually there are only 3 high school shojo that I've ever tried to watch/read and liked). It's just that I'm not into those cheesy/mushy love stories. I actually tried Kimi ni Todoke because of Sawako. I like anime girls with long, straight, black hair.

At first, I was hesitant to watch it because it's a high school shojo. But since it's a romantic comedy type, and I want to try another shojo anime/manga, I gave it a try. I came to love the series because of Sawako and Kazehaya. I really, really love their pairing. I find Kazehaya really cute when he blushes and becomes jealous. One episode that I really like from the anime is when Sawako smiled (and she looked really beautiful XD), and Kazehaya went in front of her to prevent their classmates from seeing her smile and told her that he wants to keep it to himself ♥ ♥ ♥.

Since the anime has ended and I really want to know what will happen to their relationship, I started reading the manga, but only where the anime left off. And I'm really happy with Sawako and Kazehaya's progress XD.

It was announced that the series would be adapted to a live action film. When the rumor of a live-action adaptation spread, I was hoping that it would be a tv series. But it was announced that it would be a film. Anyway, I'm really not that disappointed. What is important is that it would be adapted to live action! I'm actually excited and I hope that the film would do justice for the anime/manga.
