Kimi ni Todoke: From Me to You, Vol. 4 (4)

This book was received in perfect condition, exactly like brand new with a printed today price. I could not be happier with allnewbooks and what they delivered. Thank you!!

I started out watching the anime for Kimi Ni Todoke online and I feel in with Sawako and Kazehaya. Their romance is sweet and teeming with awkward cuteness. The surrounding cast of characters is amazing. The only problem is that after awhile you begin to get frustrated with the lead couple because of their bumbling. However, it does ring true to life. Sometimes something is meant to be but it takes time. Suffice to say I am hooked. Hello, I started buying the Manga because I LOVED the show so much. That says something. I literally flew through the whole series super fast. Enjoy!!!

Its the most amazing thing to bless my heart in the whole world. I love this manga with my whole soul.

I finished reading this volume in one day the story is really developing the relationships between Sawako and Shota is really cute. all the characters in this manga are amazing and funny and you can't hate any character i really want to see how this story ends.

I bought this for my husband who loves Kimi ni Todoke the TV series. He was so excited and even more excited when he read it and was enjoying it.

From back cover:Sawako Kuronuma is the perfect heroine.... for a horror movie. With striking similarities to a haunting movie character - jet-black hair, sinister smile and silent demeanor, she always had trouble fitting in. but her whole life changes when she befriends the most popular boy in class.Kurumi's got it all - looks, popularity and friends. But underneath Kurumi's friendly exterior is a manipulative girl who'll do anything to get what she wants! And what she wants is Kazehaya! Will Kurumi's plotting drive Kazehaya and Sawako apart, or will it instead draw them closer together?Review:This installment starts with Kurumi's insistence that Sawako help Kurumi start a relationship with Kazehaya. Sawako refuses due to her own feelings for Kazehaya. Kurumi's pretended friendship with Sawako is terminated (on Kurumi's side) as Kurumi plots to make it seem that Sawako has feelings for someone else. This plan backfires in an amusing way.Meanwhile Yano and Chuzi are trying to find evidence of exactly who started the earlier rumors about them. Kazehaya has to confront his own feelings for Sawako when he believes that a classmate may also be interested in Sawako.I had to give this book a slightly lower rating because I just couldn't believe that anyone could be a nice/innocent/naive as Sawako during the confrontations with Kurumi.This series moves slowly, but Sawako always leaves me with a warm feeling.I give book 4 of kimi ni todoke a 4.In order to come up with an overall review/rating for the series and this specific book within the series, I used the following criteria:Character development: Excellent (5). This series is about teenagers and their relationships; primarily focused on the high school environment and activities. The characters are very real and human. I would be surprised if anyone reading this could not find someone that they can relate to. The characters grow and we learn more about them in a consistent manner. In the 20+ books that I have read of this series, I have not noted any actions that seemed out of character based on the character development and story line. Characters have changed, but they have changed in ways that are logical and consistent with what the reader knows of them.Art: Is slightly better than average (3.5) I enjoy this series a great deal, but the art could be improved especially the faces.Relationship development: is Excellent (5) Although this series does move slowly, this means that the relationships develop as they would in real life. The shy girl doesn't get the guy by the end of the first book, friendships don't develop (or end) abruptly and for no reason, etc.Overall Story: Very Good (4). This is not my 'typical' genre of manga, but I did enjoy reading the books. My big complaint is that it seems to move so so slowly. It is about relationships - love, friendship, frenemies, and acquaintences. Sawaka agonizes for chapters over decisions. Since I do the same thing, I can't fault her, but at the same time, it does make the story move very slowly.Author's notes/extras: Not every author includes includes author's notes, however, Karuho Shiina has. I enjoy learning more about the person behind a book so I appreciate the extra effort that the author takes to tell us about herself.Will I re-read? Excellent (5). Yes, I will re-read this series. As a matter of fact, I DID. I read most of the books (the first time) on-line, but felt guilty that the author and publishing company were not benefiting. I then purchased the books and have found that the print version from the publisher is the better way (for me) to enjoy these books.Will I recommend? Very Good (4.5). If you enjoy this style of manga, I believe you will enjoy this series.

I absolutely adore this series! For those interested in a hilarious romantic comedy this is the series for you! You can't help but fall in love with all the characters.

Love it
