“Kimi ni Todoke” is back with its third season after 13 long years, and it’s all about Sawako and her friend’s high school drama, friendship, and young love. If you liked the earlier seasons, you’ll probably enjoy this one too.
What’s it about?
This season not only focuses on Sawako and Kazehaya’s relationship this time, but we get to see other character’s relationships, and their friendships also. It’s sweet and cute. The story moves a bit slower this time, which lets us really get into the characters’ feelings. Some people might think it’s too slow, though, especially if they want more exciting stuff to happen. But I think It wasn’t boring at all. There are so many wholesome and romantic moments, that will make you blush.
Characters
We get to see the characters grow up a bit. Sawako’s getting braver about sharing her feelings, while Kazehaya’s dealing with his own worries. It makes them feel more real. Their friends Chizuru, Ayane, Kento, and Ryu also get much screen time. The show also gives us more on Chizuru and Ryu’s relationship. These two have known each other forever, and we get to see how that friendship might be turning into something more. It’s cool to see how different their relationship is from Sawako and Kazehaya’s. Chizuru’s all energy and Ryu’s super chill, but somehow they just work. We can’t forget about Ayane and Kento either! Their relationship is pretty interesting. Ayane’s always been the smart, mature one of the group, and Kento kind of challenges that. It’s fun to watch them figure out their actual feelings.
How does it look?
The show looks pretty much the same as before. It’s soft, pastel colors that match the gentle feel of the story. The characters might look simple, but they’re great at showing emotions. There’s also some cool visual stuff that helps get the feelings across even better.
What’s it trying to say?
This season talks a lot about figuring yourself out, talking to others, and trying to understand different points of view. It handles these topics really well, making you feel for the characters without going over the top. It’s good at showing what it’s like to be a teenager and grow up.
These side relationships add a lot to the show. They give us different takes on high school romance and friendship. It’s not just all about Sawako and Kazehaya, which makes the whole thing feel more real. Plus, it’s just fun to see how all these different personalities bounce off each other.
Conclusion
If you’re a fan of “Kimi ni Todoke,” you’ll probably like this season. It might be a bit slow for some people, but it really shows deep into the characters and their feelings. It’s all about learning to talk to each other, understand others, and be brave enough to show your true feelings. If you’re into that kind of story, you’ll have a good time watching this.
