I’ve decided to read this manga once again after the many times i’ve rewatched the anime, i’ve already lost count but nonetheless i still enjoyed it way too much :)
I read this manga since i was 12 years old and have always yearned for a romance life like sawako and kazehaya’s.. now that i’m 17, i still have yet to experience this kind of pure and youthful love but its kind of a struggle now that the world is a little bit adapted? idk if that makes sense( ̄へ ̄)
The romance i have experienced the past few years weren’t what i’d expect it to be. I was disappointed because this manga showed me how love is such a beautiful and complicating thing :)
Although the love i experienced was indeed complicating, i look forward to see the beauty of it thanks to this manga.
I really really can’t wait for the new season! i hope all you readers will be able to experience love like sawako and kazehaya :))
The time will come (︶︿︶)

i really love how even though they went through so much trouble understanding each other which led to more and more misunderstandings and annoying tension, they were STILL able to communicate and try to understand each other!!! it's really realistic and not those cliche shit where when they have a big fight they would not talk for years
not everyone is perfect!! and even guys esp like sangwoo who you wouldn't ever think he'd go through something very unlikely (ex. ordering so much cocktails, trying to make out with a random guy, and etc.) really shows that something "simple" could change you if you get what i mean BUT FR COMMUNICATION IS FUCKING KEY

i don't like how the girl was trying to invalidate the mc's feelings thinking that he probably enjoyed doing it or saying why he couldnt stop it when clearly it took so much effort for him to say it to the girl because he just wanted to be normal. i dont give a fuck if she doesnt understand shit, but any person with a brain would know that anyone who had experience being sa'd wouldn't possibly enjoy doing it. her reason is always cause "he's a man he probably liked it" like woow.
Several months ago, I shared here how I’d always longed for a love as pure and gentle as Kazehaya and Sawako’s. Yet, life took me down a different path, one that didn’t quite align with the slow burn romance that I’ve always dreamed of. My own experiences lacked the spark and magic I felt while reading this manga.
Kimi ni Todoke has been my favorite shoujo manga since I was twelve. It was the first story that made me yearn for a love so sincere and beautiful.
When I turned seventeen, I was lucky enough to experience my first love with a boy from my school. He was lanky, awkward, and a little shy, but I truly enjoyed his company and felt a genuine connection. Things didn’t work out in the end, but I was grateful for the experience and the memories we made.
Then, at eighteen, I met someone who reminded me so much of Kazehaya. From the moment we met, he made me feel safe and cared for. He would keep me company when it was dark outside, and our conversations seemed endless because we had so much in common. That day, I realized that sometimes, good things really do come to those who wait.
Now, three months into our relationship, I can honestly say I have no regrets. Meeting him has been a blessing, and I’m so thankful for the hope and inspiration Kimi ni Todoke gave me. ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
Thank you, Kimi ni Todoke, for showing me that beautiful love stories can exist :) both on the pages and in real life.
