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 (︶︿︶)
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.
