| While the show overall was rather amazing, I think the show hit a cliff after the Chizuru/Ryu/Toora, and it sucks that it was the end of the show, if something had happened between Shouta and Sawako think it wouldn't have been such a weak ending to the season 8/10 sucks the next season is only 12 episodes though, going to be a really quick watch for me :( |

| I liked it,onto season 2 now Yano-chin is so cute she's my favorite |
 |
| I love this series from start to finish there is just so much going on in every episode that there really isnt anything boring about it really I do want to start the second season right away but have to wait But there was just so many things about this anime that i just simply enjoyed like the embarrassment about things bc normally it is the female that feels them but in this it flips it n shows the male being embarrassed more n I think that is completely adorable sometimes I wish my relationship was a shoujo anime but then again I dont but this anime is a 10 for me and cant wait to start the next season as soon as I get a chance which might be tomorrow but maybe not. |
 |
| 8/10, could have been better, but the last couple of episodes really helped end the season with a bang. Would have liked more romance development, but I'm satisfied with Sawako and Kazeha relationship right now. They are building it up slow, learning more about each other. Tomo and Ecko make a short appearance as well. Glad to know they were also having fun on New Years Eve/day. |
 |
| Ahhhhhh, why did you dodged that bullet Kazehaya! You had such the best chance to tell her, but you missed it brillantly! -__- Poor Ayane, she just got bad luck over bad luck xD Now, up to the second season! |

| I don't even want to comment to this as if it were the last episode. Now to season 2 !! ^-^ Loved it, by the way. LOVED IT ! |
 |
| 10/10. Girls like Kuronoma Sawako are like magical unicorns. If found, must capture. You'll NEVER see one again. Sawako is #1. Best personality from a female character in any anime I've ever seen. I'm pretty sure she tops Asuna from SAO. I cri everytim. Too good. I love you Sawako Kuronoma!!!! |

| Finally got to marathon this series I overlooked when it aired - maybe for good reason too, as it really isn't my thing. Romance is one of my favorite genres but I'm pretentious as hell when it comes to it and the romance in Kimi ni Todoke was severely lacking. Seriously, 25 episodes and not even a freaking confession? Luckily, it has other things going for it besides romance, such as the theme of friendship and it does that pretty well. Like others, I'm gonna say that the supporting cast is more interesting than the main cast here. I thought the show was at it's peak in during the Kurumi arc(she ended up being my favorite character and like me, she was probably wondering what the hell is she doing in such a sugar coated show). Ryu & Chizu's arc was also fairly interesting. I also liked Ayane but then again, it's hard NOT to like her. Kazehaya was waaaaay too sickeningly sweet for me and was probably one of the weakest character of the show - I don't hate him or anything though(actually, how could you hate any character in this show is beyond me since everyone's so nice). As for Sawako, while I don't find her as compelling as Kurumi or Ayane, she still managed to grow on me. Oh, and let's not forget it had some really nice art style, one that felt unique to this anime. Some people call a show where everyone is so sweet & nice to each other, with such slow romantic developments unrealistic but I don't think it is. I've known friends who've grown in such environments so it's definitely possible, although I personally haven't experienced it. For the right audience, Kimi ni Todoke can definitely make it in their all-time favorites with a clear 10/10, just so happens I'm not it. Even so, I still enjoyed it and gave it a 7/10. Now off to watch S2... |

| No confession, but the characters' relationships are clearly developing. I'm glad the show ended with one of my favorite songs from the soundtrack. Because it feels a little too open-ended, I'm going with 9/10. Everything else I really liked. I'm worried about the 2nd season after reading the two reviews on its page. It seems like they're throwing another love triangle in for the sake of drama. :/ And at least with Kurumi I liked her because she was a dimensional character towards the end. I'll probably watch it so I can see how Ryuu/Chizu, Sawako/Kazehaya, and maybe even Pin/Ayane end up but otherwise I'm thinking that this is as good as its gonna get. I hope everything proves me wrong though. |
| This was such a beautiful anime, really enjoyed it and found myself laughing surprisingly a lot :3 There was no kiss or love confession which made me a little sad wanting to see one but assumed that as there is a second season. Still beautiful anime nonetheless ^_^ |
| Trash mammal |
| this was magical and so wonderfully made all in all i'm glad i decided to watch it |
 |
| bit of a unsatisfying ending (ep 24 and ep 25 seemed to drag a bit for me) but good stuff overall. |
| I didn't expect Pin near the end. It was good, they all had a nice time together, poor Joe tho. |
| Ending was pretty decent. The comedy was expected, the OST really stood out, other than that, standard fare I suppose. A bit boring at times and I felt myself forcing myself to watch it , but series had a decent ring to it. 3.5/5 |
| Yay for the season 2.... Can't wait to watch. To be honest, at first it was kind of annoying with Sawako (though totally relatable since I sorta over logiate --->not a word but YAknow.< everything especially like friendships.) But I love how Sawako, though pretty, she was like...a normal pretty not like Ayane.She kind of gets more... I dunno.. mature both physically and mentally as it goes on. I hope that in the next season it can fully blossom ships. AyanexPin (lolwutidek) RyuuxChii AND OF COURSE SawakoxKazehaya. I'm sort of upset they never really got that MOMENT....but overall the ending was really cute. ^~^ One day. ;-; Just one. Like everyone said, it was kind of really repetitive (and slightly frustrating) but I like it it wasn't bad. 8.5/10 I think the main reason I've put it off so long is the art, but second it's somewhat basic. It was enjoyable basic however, so I will watch the second season. :D Read somewhere up there ^^ there is a live action too! Can't wait though obviously it won't be as good as the anime :) (P.S. I felt like this was more of a trollcomedy then a shoujo though nonetheless. P.P.S. Favorite Character definitely Ryuu. P.P.P.S Am I the only one happy that Kurumi even though she's a main antagonisticy (another made up word) person. She didn't really turn into the fake bitch? Well..fake...but...for...a somewhat....reasonable understandable reason. She kind of became a sortanotreallyfriend with Sawako, so that's good. |
| I wanted to give 8/10 (because tooooooooooo many chibi faces) , but last few episodes was more than good, so I decided to give 9/10 for this show and put Sawako in my fav list. Really good series, I'm looking forward for next season (which I will start watching for a moment), and then I start reading manga I think. This is my kind of anime. Dialogues/thoughts >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> action |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| THE PERFECT SETTING, DAY, ATMOSPHERE............................yet no kisses While I would have watched the 2nd season regardless, I will definitely have to watch a.s.a.p so I can see this love blossom... I really love this show though. The comedy is on point without being over the top, and their love is just so ;-; so innocent and nice. Can't wait to see what happens! |
| That was a good finale for season one. Sawako and Kazehaya continued to walk while talking. She said she'll try harder this year so that people will continue to like her, but he replied that they already do. They visited the shrine and went to pick out fortunes. Kazehaya got an "Excellent Luck" slip, while Sawako got a "Bad Luck" slip. He said that getting a "Bad Luck" slip is lucky because it's rare. The funny thing was, their fortunes were related to love . She read the part pertaining to love and realized it could be talking about Kazehaya. He gave her his "Excellent Luck" as a "birthday gift". In this episode, there was also Ryu x Chizuru moments. When Ryu walked away from the group, Chizuro followed him. She said he could smile more by saying "Chi". I laughed when he replied, "Over my dead body". He also said that whoever Sawako meets, Kazehaya will handle it so the group should not be too worried for them. Ryu and Chizuru smiled (that was so sweet) when they saw Kazehaya and Sawako having a good time. Ayane x Joe moment was over when Joe's family arrived to get him. And then Pin came and saved her from the dudes who wanted to be in a relationship with her. Ayana was about to thank him when they saw each other. They were both surprised, lol! Pin x Ayane began... Kazehaya and Sawako continued home, taking the path she walks to school. Kazehaya stopped at that spot, and recollected that how he met Sawako for the first time at that place. She was surprised he remembered it, but she had also been thinking the exact thing. They realized their love for each other, but of course, they didn't act on it. Every character in the anime was shown at the closing credits. Ryu x Chizuru, Pin x Ayane (lols), Kurumi and her friends, their classmates at the convenience store, Joe and his parents, Kazehaya's brother and Pedro, Sawako's parents, and the last but not the least: Kazehaya x Sawako. <3 This is an amazing anime show. It delivered it well till the end. Good thing there's season two. |
 |
| My first shoujo anime and definitely one of my most favorite anime by far! The romance is so gentle and sweet (:. |
| I'm all for taking your time and having a slow story line, but I felt this one was dragged out a little too long. It started to come together at the end, but that last episode was so rough...Kazehaya just saying, "I'll see you again next year." I feel suckered in to watching season 2 now just for some sort of closure, but who knows. 5/10 |
| i agree with many other people the last 8 episodes were just so dragged out. Also there is no conclusion to this season, nothing at all. I'd have wanted at least 3 episodes after a confession but we didn't even get that. |
| I almost completely disagree with most people here. Although a kiss, confession, or even a hug may have been nice, I think that's missing the point. Love is about more than that, and there's nothing wrong with taking it slow. Rushing things is a big reason why many couples don't make it these days, in my opinion. So, while I wouldn't have decried it had any of those things happened, I still feel like this was pretty much a perfect ending, and especially so considering that there's more. (I would have been satisfied with the ending even if there wasn't, although in many senses I feel like I could watch Sawako's whole life go by and not get tired of it.) This was an immensely rewarding experience for me, far more so than I expected. I don't think any other series has made me so consistently smile, consider, relate, and relax like this one has. I loved it. I'm very, very picky about what I give them out to, but this is unquestionably a 10/10 in my book. |

| Well, I had a blast with this show. Finished this season in 2 days. That's only because I watched 20 episodes of another Shoujo Anime in between. I've read the Manga a few years ago up to where they actually start dating later on and I thought watching the Anime would make me bored (it did, sometimes) but it was a good ride. It's a bittersweet, but adorable Anime that portrays first loves and pure love perfectly. Watching this Anime hurts me because I lived Sawako's life back in elementary up to high school. I even had my own Kazehaya - basically a guy who treated me a bit more special and protected me when everyone else had their backs against me. So yeah, this show really touches my heart. 8/10 and now, I'm moving onto season 2. More things: For an older Anime, the art is absolutely gorgeous especially the whole watercolour thing they got going on. And also, Kazehaya's voice actor is incredible. At the moment when I wrote this post, I didn't know his seiyuu and that says a lot. I'm praising someone I don't know the name of. He has the perfect youthful and innocent boy-next-door voice. Everyone else sounds great as well. I know Mamo is voicing the love rival next season, so I'm looking forward to that. Edit- wtf NamiDai was Kazehaya??? Lol omg I couldnt tell |
| No drama for the last episode, but that's fine. It's a really sweet ending for the series. Speaking of drama, the transition between this episode and the second season's first episode is huge. |
| Ayane was right, "It's like I'm watching a turtle race!" It was really gorgeous and sweet anime. I loved it! Season 2, here I come. |
| Kazehaya and Sawako are still talking about her past and everything that’s led up to now. He says he knew she was a nice person, even when they first met. And He says that she’s already changing for the better. Ryu was tired of dealing with Jo and having to worry about Sawako and Kazehaya so he walked off. Chizu followed after him demanding that they went to the shrine together. Poor Ryu still wants some amazake.. Kazehaya and Sawako got to pull the bell together as the new year started. She thought how happy she is now and how grateful she is for all the friends she has in her life. On their way down from the steps, Kazehaya mentions that it’s slippery as he holds out his hand. Of course Sawako took it. How smooth of him. Sawako and Kazehaya decide to go get some fortunes next. Aw Sawako’s was unlucky, poor girl. Kazehaya offered to give his to her instead. How sweet. Lol Pin is being Pin again. He actually saves Ayane from some unwanted male attention. Then gets annoyed when he finds out it’s her. I kinda feel like they could possibly get together in the future. He is a lot older than her but I’m not gonna rule it out completely. I really liked the scene with the ending song playing in the background. It was nice to be able to see where everyone was and what they were doing. I liked that this season ended with Kazehaya and Sawako going back to the first place they met. It was a good place to end it, though I was still kinda sad there was no confession. Overall, it was a good season. I don’t watch many romances, but I really enjoyed this one. |
| This was an okay show. I kind of liked it at the beginning but felt it started to drag after a few episodes. Not a bad show by any means, just not very exciting to watch. Still a watchable show, and better than other romance anime I've seen. 5/10 |

| And so this season is over. Honestly, I thought Sawako already knew she was in love with Kazehaya after Kurumi's arc so this "new" realization about that fact felt a bit unnecessary but well, I guess she needed this "date" with him to fully establish her feelings. Regarding the episode, it was good but the conclusion felt mostly like any other episode. Not to mention that their relationship didn't evolve that much either. As I said, Sawako realized she's in love with him but that fact was already known for her so yeah, aside from some really cute and adorable moments, this episode was exactly like the previous ones. Overall, it was a nice series. And although Sawako and Kazehaya's relationship evolves way to slow for my taste (It took 25 episodes for them to actually touch hands), I can't deny the fact that most, if not all of its episodes were enjoyable at some degree. Additionally, I think the side characters were, without a doubt, the strongest point of the series. Kurumi, despite being such a manipulative bitch, was very entertaining to watch. And although Tooru's sudden existence felt a bit like an excuse to give Chizu's character more depth, the drama surrounding her, her feelings and Ryuu was rather appealing to watch as well. What else... well, Pin was basically comic relief but I found him annoying for most of the time he appeared on screen. His character was probably the only one I couldn't feel any sympathy for. All in all, It was a pretty simplistic Shoujo anime with nothing new to show but despite that, its characters (mostly Chizu, Ayane and Ryuu), its arcs and overall sweetness were enough entertaining for me to keep watching it. 7/10 |

| Such an enjoyable and heartwarming show. Too bad no confession made on last ep. 9/10. |
| Well, seeing as there is a second season, it isn't too much of a concern, but I was genuinely shocked that there was no confession at the end of a 25 episode series. The show was definitely good, but there were times that it felt somewhat slow and seemed to drag on. However, I felt invested the whole way through and I found myself feeling a variety of emotions throughout this season. 8/10, I would totally recommend it. |
Have a great day!  |
| This anime was really sweet. |

| One of the best shoujo I've watched. Sure, the pacing is slow but we learn more and more from every character in each episode. Extremely good SOL scenes unlike other failed attempts -So Ra No Wo To-. Finally, the drama was pretty good and that's coming from someone who is very strict with it. 9/10 for the anime. |

| IIRC this is my first Shoujo anime so yeah it was good enough to watch. Looking forward of season 2. |
| What a ride this was from early on I was not really interested in the whole thing especially during Kurumi times, but after that it became insanely good. Sawa Daddy sure had a good time with her waifu. 9/10 |
| 10/10, such a perfect end to the season. I'm putting the second season high on my list of priorities. |
 |
| A nice ending. Sawako and Shouta are a cute pair. Ryuu be outta there, this situation too stupid xD Chizuru and Ryuu gotta a future pair. Pin and Ayane make a mean duo lmfao. |
| “I just spent the last two years thinking that you guys knew more than me about life and I just found out that you guys are just as dumb as me.” “Duh-doy.” “Yeah, duh-doy.” |
| MaL did this show dirty by changing the most important thing, the cover which now looks stupidly plain and Shoujo-obvious. Should've retained the last cover with Sawako & Kazehaya that actually determines what this show might offer, no wonder this fell off the top-rankings so hard |
| This typically wasn't an show in my genre but wow i was blown away, the beginning of the show until the end was awesome and i couldn't believe it, the art was outstanding as well, Sawako's character development was amazing as well, from being an outcast (to say the least) to being recognized by people and her friends, that smile she did was so beautiful, even the whole class was shocked by it, Sawako then having an crush on Kazehaya was nice to see as well, also as much as i hate the rival Kurumi, it was nice to see this show some rival moments, I'm glad that she found such good friends like Chizuru and Ayane and even Ryuu, I'm glad they stuck with her this whole time, even if the gossips were going around and everyone thought it was Sawako, but Sawako defended Chizuru and Ayane because she didn't want to lose them, and then Chizuru and Ayane stepping in and defending Sawako showed the friendship they build during the school periods. The snowy night before new years when Sawako and Kazehaya were together was cute to see, Kazehaya really wants to become Sawako's boyfriend, and he would do everything to achieve that goal, they both actually have a crush on each other but are shy to tell one another, now it might take long before they're together but the upbuild towards it is more than worth it. I even began loving this show so much that I literally re-watched it because i missed it actually, anyhow I truly got my time worth with this one and I'm super glad that i found out about this anime, the artistic style that went into this is truly magnificent. Sawako's character development from an artistically point was super cute to see, the moments she did her funny faces to the moments the artistic style really sprung to life. Sawako was actually an innocent girl that wouldn't do anyone any harm and she wanted to fix her mistakes by herself, she thought if she would fix her misunderstandings with people then everything would become slightly better, she at first was an gloomy person and she was rather confused why people ran away from her whenever she tried to talk to them, she thought that she did something wrong but that wasn't the case at all, those people thought that Sawako was like super dark and whatnot, but Kazehaya actually didn't believe any of it and started talking with her when she was giving the flowers some water. The class was ongoing and the midterms were coming and Sawako was so sweet to give people notes and they would copy those notes, everyone was glad and there it was, the most beautiful smile that she gave to the class, everyone was quiet and they needed an moment to realize what just happened, but that was amazing to witness. I didn't watch anime back in 2009-2011 because i didn't know what it was but damn did i miss out on some good shows, I'm probably saying this too much but I'm actually glad that i ran into this anime. |
