From Me to You: Kimi ni Todoke (君に届け) is a series directed by Takehiko Shinjo and Takeo Kikuchi. It is based on the manga by Karuho Shiina.
Today, we get to enjoy this Japanese series about teenage love, which is – curiously enough – about a girl called Sadako, like the girl from Ringu, and who is believed to be cursed. But not everything in life has to be a horror movie, and she meets the most popular boy in high school.

It knows how to take its time,...
