What critics are saying

Score 85 /100

From Me to You: Kimi ni Todoke is widely regarded as a wholesome, sincere entry in the slice-of-life genre. Critics praise the series for focusing on the innate goodness of its protagonist, Sawako, providing a refreshing alternative to the usual high-stakes drama and antagonistic tropes common in teen-focused television.

While some reviewers describe the narrative as a simple, straightforward love story, the series is lauded for its earnest exploration of meaningful themes, including friendship, personal growth, and the importance of kindness. It is frequently highlighted as an engaging coming-of-age experience that resonates with viewers looking for heartfelt storytelling.

“If your kid is tired of the 'mean girls' and high-stakes drama of most teen shows, Kimi ni Todoke is a breath of fresh air.”

“It’s rare for film and TV to indulge one’s innate goodness.”

“A simple love story with vague teachings on why we should be kind to others.”

“From Me to You: Kimi ni Todoke captures the high school experiences of young love and just trying to fit in.”
