From Me to You: Kimi ni Todoke (君に届け)

ORIGINAL WORK - SHIINA KARUHO

"UNREQUITED LOVE"

What? Are you serious?

Isn't that horrible?

I know, I know!

She knows Misato likes Koichi!

What does he like about her?

Does Misato really think she's cute, too?

Well, obviously.

Kurumi-chan.

Kurumi-chan!

Kurumi!

What? No way!

You don't have a crush on anyone?

But you're so cute.

What a huge waste!

I'm glad we're friends.

-Seriously. -Yeah!

I'm so glad we're in the same clique.

No way!

Miyagawa confessed to Kurumi?

What? But Miki liked him first!

You know, Kurumi had been lending her notes to Miyagawa.

Yeah, she hates it when she doesn't get all the boys' attention.

That's why she leads guys on like that.

She's horrible.

A girl with a name like Ume shouldn't be popular.

I only let her join our clique so I could talk to the boys.

Hey, let's get in her way when Kurumi gets a crush.

She did the same thing to us! Yeah, let's do it!

-We're in! -We're in!

You're still here?

-What's wrong? -Nothing.

Are you sure?

Yep! Kazehaya, are you playing baseball?

Yeah, I just have to grab something here.

I see.

Here it is.

-Good luck! -Yeah!

Seriously, is something wrong?

Hey, what happened?

He's different.

The boy who's always surrounded by friends...

- We meet again ! - He always sees me for who I really am .

Ever since I fell for him, my feelings...

have always been kept secret.

I did all kinds of things for Kazehaya, didn't I?

I put more energy into it than studying.

I enrolled in Kitahoro High just to be where Kazehaya is...

Kazehaya!

We're in different classes, though.

What's up?

I was told to give you a committee handout.

Here.

See? Aren't they a good couple?

-I want to borrow something from you. - I went to see him for every little thing...

-Right, I forgot to bring you the CD. - just to get him to notice me .

Practicing for the festival?

It's usually a pain in the butt, but it'll be fun with Kazehaya around.

You know what? Poor Kazehaya was forced to be a committee member in two seconds.

Speaking of which,

the committee representative from Class D is Kazehaya.

Really? Kurumi, you should totally represent our class then.

What, me?

Yeah, why not? You should do it.

It may be the catalyst to make you two an official couple.

No. There's no way. Like I said, that's impossible.

I don't mind joining the committee for our class, though.

Then, why not?

But I doubt I can nominate myself. It's embarrassing...

Kazehaya, you got chosen?

You, too? Cool. Let's help each other.

We're both unlucky. That seat's free.

Thanks for lending me that CD.

No problem. I want to borrow one from you, as well.

Sure. I'll bring whatever.

I hear rumors about Sadako everywhere.

She made a big scene the other day, too.

First of all, what kind of girl is she, really? I don't get her.

Speaking of, we saw Sadako chatting with Kazehaya before?

Yeah, I remember that. We were like, "Are they dating?"

I doubt that possibility.

You think so?

It wouldn't be weird if... he liked her.

That's impossible. That's just not possible!

You know, Kazehaya's a nice guy. He can't leave her alone.

Rather, if he likes anyone, it would be you, Kurumi.

There's no way.

What are you saying? You two are so close.

That's because we're from the same middle school.

Jeez, why don't you two go out already?

Not happening.

Even though you deny it, what if he falls for you?

It seems like you're the one giving me the energy to move forward.

Kazehaya, the boy I've always been watching, is changing.

That dork!

That's right! Sawako-chan suddenly butted in!

Kazehaya!

Sawako-chan, you're really sweating!

Thank you.

No problem.

Okay, you're all set now.

That's right. Were you looking for me?

Not really.

I wanted to talk with Sawako-chan.

Because, you know, we're friends now!

Right, Sawako-chan?

Yes, I'm your...

Friends?

We're friends, right?

What?

-I'm going to eat and take a nap. - I have to do something about that girl .

Eating lunch already?

-And then a "siesta"? -Trash?

I'll resort to any means.

I WANT TO THANK YOU PROPERLY PLEASE COME TO THE STOREHOUSE AT NOON

KURONUMA SAWAKO

I told you so.

Let's support them, okay?

Ka... ze... ha... ya?

Why?

Why...

Why?

It didn't work out after all...

Why couldn't it have been me?

I was always...

always watching him.

Way longer than Sawako-chan...

Kazehaya...

If I... confessed to Kazehaya

before he met Sawako-chan...

Am I stupid?

The impossible is impossible, no matter how hard I try.

It's something Kazehaya will ultimately decide.

So you think... Kazehaya and I wouldn't make a good couple?

No, that's not what...

Then I want you to support me, Sawako-chan.

You're the only person I've ever confided in.

Unless... you think someone else would be a better match for him.

No, you two are perfectly compatible.

Sawako-chan, then...

But...

because I can't support you from the bottom of my heart, I can't help you.
