Kimi ni Todoke: From Me to You Gets Third Season on Netflix

Kimi ni Todoke revolves around Sawako Kuronuma, a 15-year-old girl who bears a striking resemblance to the character 'Sadako' from The Ring, earning her the derogatory nickname from her classmates. Due to her eerie appearance and the spread of false rumors, Sawako is often misunderstood and feared by her peers, who believe she has the ability to see spirits and cast curses on others. Nevertheless, behind this misconstrued image lies a kind-hearted girl with a desire to assist others. However, everything changes for Sawako when the popular student Shota Kazehaya starts engaging in conversation with her. This encounter opens up a whole new world for Sawako, allowing her to forge new connections, develop friendships, and gradually experience the blossoming of love.

Kimi ni Todoke, a manga series by Karuho Shiina, first aired its season in October 2009, followed by the second season in January 2011. The manga and anime gained immense popularity, resulting in light novels, a live-action film and series adaptation, and two video games released in 2009 and 2011. Netflix has confirmed the production of a third season, featuring the original voice cast for main characters Sawako Kuronuma (Mamiko Noto) and Shota Kazehaya (Daisuke Namikawa).

Many fans are excited about the return of Kimi ni Todoke, a delightful romantic comedy and slice-of-life gem. Production I.G., known for their work on series and films like Haikyu!!, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, and Ao Haru Ride, will continue animating the series. Viewers can expect the story to pick up where season two left off. Although the manga concluded in 2017, viewers estimate that the anime covered around Chapter 43 out of a total of 123 chapters. This leaves ample room to explore Sawako and Shota's journey further.

The exact release date for the third season of Kimi ni Todoke: From Me to You has not been announced yet. However, fans have exciting news to anticipate! The first two seasons of Kimi ni Todoke can be streamed on popular platforms like Hulu and Crunchyroll. The upcoming third season will be exclusively available on Netflix in 2024.
