Kimi Ni Todoke: From Me to You, Vol. 3 by Karuho Shiina
4.0
4.5/5.0
Volume three continues with the events of volume two- Sawako, Ayane, and Chizu are now officially friends. While they are hanging out, Ayane and Chizu realize that Sawako's feelings for Kazehaya are not the same as she feels for them- although Sawako may not know it herself for quite some time. Things start to get awkward, especially when we are introduced to Kurumi. Kurumi is a stereotypically popular and cute girl- she leans into it, too. She was in the same junior high school as Kazehaya and clearly has feelings for him, just like Sawako. She befriends Sawako almost immediately- however, it may not be in the best of faiths.
Kazehaya and Sawako's budding relationship is adorable, as always. I appreciate this volume because it's the first time we see Sawako's parents; their dynamic is so sweet. Although she is naïve, Sawako is also authentic, which can be used in her favor or as a drawback. In this volume, she uses it to stand up for herself, which is more than endearing. Chizu and Ryu's dynamic is casual but powerful- and so is Chizu and Ayane's friendship. That foundation is something I think most people look for in their lives. Chizu's intuitive powers and Ayane's humor work effortlessly together, Kazehaya and Sawako's uneasiness and heart for each other create an adorable polarity, and I can't wait to see where the four of them go together.
