Kimi ni Todoke (2009)
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is a cute series that tells the story of a rather socially awkward girl as she learns to be accepted and identify her different feelings. The art is pretty, but at random scenes will turn to awkward squished chibi-like characters that sort of throw it off as far as continuity goes. The base-line of the story is the romantic development between the previous outcast and the class good boy who is friends with everyone. Somehow these two seem to connect despite rivals and the girl's own emotional and maturity challenges.
