“Kimi ni Todoke: From Me to You” – A Story about School Love
“Kimi ni Todoke: From Me to You” manga from author Karuho Shiina is being planned for a live-action series, which will broadcast exclusively on Netflix in 2023.
Takehiko Shinjo and Takeo Kikuchi are directing the film, with a script from Hayato Miyamoto.
The story takes place in Hokkaido. 15-year-old high school freshman Sawako Kuronuma—dubbed Sadako by her classmates for her resemblance to the character from The Ring—has always been feared and misunderstood because of her appearance; rumors around school report that she can see ghosts and curse people. 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.
Shiina launched the manga in Bessatsu Margaret in 2006. The series has consistently ranked high among the best-selling manga in Japan.
