With the oversaturated world of teen coming-of-age content on Netflix, it is easy to fall into a rabbit hole of overly sexualized teen shows that just glamorize the tricky parts of being a teen. Compared to the western teen world, the east prefers to teach life lessons through cute little romance shows inspired by popular anime or manga. Japan is not new to high school dramas, and “From Me to You” rekindles fond memories of school rather than bringing anything new to the screen. As someone who hasn’t watched the anime, I can absolutely understand why it would’ve been translated into a live-action show for high school students in Japan. The show subtly tackles issues such as school bullying, feeling like you’ve brought a knife in a gunfight, high-school exams, the fear of growing up, and many such struggles of a school student without ever coming across as a life lesson.

From Me to You: Kimi ni Todoke (君に届け) is a series directed by Takehiko Shinjo and Takeo Kikuchi. It is based on the manga by Karuho Shiina.
Today, we get to enjoy this Japanese series about teenage love, which is – curiously enough – about a girl called Sadako, like the girl from Ringu, and who is believed to be cursed. But not everything in life has to be a horror movie, and she meets the most popular boy in high school.
About the Series
It is a series that would be equivalent to Dawson’s Creek or something along those lines (just to give you an idea), it’s one of those initiation series that little by little show us what life is about and that, gradually – and at the protagonists’ sides – we grow up at the same time as we watch the characters grow up. It knows how to take its time,...
