Movie Title: Kimi ni Todoke
Year released in Japan: Sept 2010
Directed by: Naoto Kumazawa
Starring: Mikako Tabe, Haruma Miura

Synopsis:
Based on a manga by Karuho Shiina which was later turned into an animated television series, the film stars Tabe as a high school student named Sawako Kuronuma. Because of her long dark hair and generally gloomy appearance, she’s commonly referred to as “Sadako” by other students-a reference to the character from Hideo Nakata’s 1998 horror film “Ring”. However, her life begins to change one day when a popular classmate named Shota Kazehaya (Haruma Miura) begins talking to her. His gesture of friendship gives her the confidence to be more outgoing and try things she never would have tried before. Eventually, her gratitude toward him leads to a budding romance.




Thoughts:
I heard of this manga from a friend and she absolutely loved it. I still haven't gotten around to reading it, but it looks very cute. The casting of Tabe as the main girl wasn't really what I had in mind when I imagined it though. She seems a bit too cute. I'll watch it anyway b/c I can't get enough of Miura. <3
