Kimi ni Todoke: From Me to You

Being an outsider in her class, Sawako meets the popular Kazehaya, who she has admired since the first day of school. He encourages her to try open up and make new friends. Sawako then volunteers to play as the ghost during a class event, the test of courage. That night, Kazehaya comes to keep her company. Sawako is also becomses a little closer to two classmates, Yoshida Chizuru and Yano Ayane.

The class has a seat changing day, but everyone dreads drawing the seat next to Sawako. Until Kazahaya picks the seat himself and Chizuru and Yano take the seats in front of her. Kazahaya adopts a puppy that Sawako has encountered in the street.

Sawako meets Kazehaya after school to see Maru-chan, the puppy he has adopted. The day after Kazehaya has her helping the class with their homework. Yano and Yoshida overhear some false rumours about themselves and are told that it is Sawako who's spreading them.

Yano and Yoshida become the talk of the school as everyone starts spreading rumors about them. An interrupted conversation leads them to believe that Sawako doesn't think they are friends. Sawako believes she's ruining Kazahaya's reputation by hanging out with him.

After Sawako hears the rumors she avoids Kazehaya, Yano and Yoshida. Kazehaya is upset about this and confronts Sawako, while Yoshida and Yano make her realise that they are already friends. Sawako stands up against some girls badmouthing Yoshida and Yano.

Sawako is cornered in the girls bathroom by the some girls from class A until Yoshida and Yano intervene. Kazehaya makes a public statement on how he hates ridiculous rumors and realises he can't be alone with Sawako now she's close to Yano and Yoshida.

Sawako is invited to eat ramen with Yano and Yoshida at the ramen shop of Ryu's father. After they eat, they head up to Sanada's room. They later invite Kazehaya, but the mood is ruined when Pin shows up. Yano makes sure Sawako and Kazehaya walk home together under the stars.

Instead of being cursed, the class now believes that when Sawako smiles it brings good luck for everyone. Sawako is encouraged to call the girls by their first name, but she fails to address Kazehaya that way. Kazehaya is drafted by Pin to sit in the sports festival committee. Kurumi also takes a place in the committee. Sawako is taking up soccer practice as she is on the class team.

Sawako learns to play soccer and enjoys seeing Kazehaya play sports. She meets Kurumi, who wants to her friend. As she sees how close Kazehaya and Kurumi appear to be, Sawako wants to be as cute as Kurumi.
