This is a lovely beginning to this series, following Kuronuma Sawako, a painfully shy but very kind girl who is shunned by her class because of her frightening appearance; she’s actually nicknamed Sadako, after the girl in the Ring movies. When Kazehaya Shouta, a boy who is effortlessly popular and friendly befriends Sawako, she vows to make an effort to change into the kind of person she wants to be. This is quite possibly the sweetest, most adorable romantic manga in existence. Sawako is an awesome heroine, genuinely kind and caring and with a genuine and heartbreakingly realistic character flaw in her low self-esteem and shyness. Kazehaya is also a refreshing change from most shoujo manga heroes, in that he is also a genuinely good person and acts like it. The supporting characters are also multi-faceted and a lot of fun in their own right. Very highly recommended.
