Wow, what memories you've brought back! Kimi ni Todoke is a total gem and an essential classic. I totally agree with you that it's an anime to watch calmly, because the pace is super slow, but I think that's where the magic lies. Sometimes you get a little frustrated with all the misunderstandings and the shyness of both characters (you just want to push them together!), but seeing Sawako's evolution is beautiful.
It's just as you say: a series that leaves you with a really nice, warm feeling when it's over. Thanks for bringing it up.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. It was wonderful ❤️
