History Manga / KimiNiTodoke

** [[ManipulativeBitch Kurumi]] happens to [[EpicFail be "refused" by Pin in front of Kazehaya, who earlier walked off with Sawako after confronting her]]. The fact that [[TedBaxter Pin himself is convinced she was confessing to him]] doesn't help.

* PetTheDog - [[spoiler:In Chapter 45, when [[LovableAlphaBitch Ayane]] confesses that she doesn't believe she's kind (compared to [[TheIngenue Sawako]] and [[PluckyGirl Chizu]]) because of how [[ManipulativeBitch cunning]] she can be in front of [[{{Jerkass}} Pin]], she dreads another TedBaxter lecture from a surprisingly quiet Pin, who instead stares at a candy Ayane gave him because he was whining about not getting one after the festival. Then, Pin literally ''pats'' Ayane on the head and reassures her that she is kind before walking up the stairs, leaving Ayane (and the readers) ''speechless'' that Pin could actually '' have'' a PetTheDog moment.]]

** Kent/Ayane seems to be getting some hints as well. [[spoiler:Chapter 59, most especially.]]

* BetaCouple - Chizuru and Ryu fill that role, though Chizuru [[ObliviousToLove didn't notice it yet until recently]].

* MomentKiller - '''Joe'''.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome:
** "Sawako, '''''you have a call from a friend!!"'''''
** Chapter 51: "[[BeachEpisode The beach is only fun if everyone goes]]!!!" Chizu ''definitely'' lost her way to the {{Shounen}} series. Or maybe it was a [[HumongousMecha mecha anime]].

* GenkiGirl: Chizuru is very excitable.

* CuteShotaroBoy - Touta Kazehaya.

* [=~What Do You Mean, It's Not Awesome?~=]:

** And even from the very first scene of the anime some people would not be surprised a bit if [[MamikoNoto Sawako]] said [[JigokuShoujo "ippen shinde miru"]].

** [[AyaHirano Kurumi]] starts off sounding all nice and sweet, but once she starts acting like she's some sort of god, she starts [[HaruhiSuzumiya sounding like one]] too.

* BitchInSheepsClothing - Kurumi acts sweet and nice to gain Sawako's sympathy, then tells her to keep her hands off Kazehaya. [[spoiler:[[IGotBetter She gets better]].]]

''Kimi ni Todoke'' (officially translated as ''[[TheBeatles From Me to You]]'', more literally as ''Reaching You'') is the story of [[StringyHairedGhostGirl Sawa]][[PaleSkinnedBrunette ko]] [[Characters/KimiNiTodoke Kuronuma]], whose resemblance to the horror movie character [[TheRing Sadako]] has made her a social outcast. Being outcast from a young age has made her socially awkward, which only makes her more of an outcast, so it's all really a vicious cycle.

* PaleSkinnedBrunette - Sawako.

* TheRedSonja - In Chapter 51, [[spoiler:Ryuu was the only guy able to defeat Yoshida in arm-wrestling and "won" her for a romantic walk along the seashore.]]

*** Bonus points when you notice that Kurumi and {{Death Note}}'s Misa Amane share [[AyaHirano the same voice]].

* CompletelyMissingThePoint - One of Sawako's defining traits and a main point of comedy -- being honest to a fault, she assumes everyone else is as well and takes everything literally without hearing any of the pretext behind it. Thus, she thinks Kurumi is flattering her when Kurumi writes down her name in the [[DeathNote "Bastards Who Call Me Ume Note"]].

** "I'll write your name in the [[DeathNote 'Bastards who call me Ume' Note]]."

** Episode 00 saw the appearance of the [[DeathNote Ume Note]].

** Ryuu sounds like an even more disinterested [[YuuichiNakamura Tomoya]] [[{{Clannad}} Okazaki]].

* RedEye

** Kurumi will never get Kazehaya even if she's [[{{Cinderella}} Umerella]] or [[Literature/SnowWhite Snow White Ume]] and Sawako is the [[DesignatedVillain evil Stepmother/Queen]].

** The mini theater has [[strike:[[{{Cinderella}} Umederella]]]] [[{{Cinderella}} Kurumirella]] with '''Sawako''' as both the Evil Stepmother ''and'' Fairy Godmother. Also ''Literature/SnowWhite Ume'' with Sawako as the Evil Queen with GulliverTravels.

** The mini theater has [[strike:[[{{Cinderella}} Umederella]]]] [[{{Cinderella}} Kurumirella]] with '''Sawako''' as both the Evil Stepmother ''and'' Fairy Godmother. Also ''SnowWhite Ume'' with Sawako as the Evil Queen with GulliverTravels.

** Kurumi will never get Kazehaya even if she's [[{{Cinderella}} Umerella]] or [[SnowWhite Snow White Ume]] and Sawako is the [[DesignatedVillain evil Stepmother/Queen]].

** Kento is voiced by MamoruMiyano, who voiced some other [[{{Durarara}} passionate]] [[OuranHighSchoolHostClub blond-haired]] [[SkipBeat bishies]].

* HotMom - Sawako's mother is quite [[http://pic2.sky-fire.com/AllComic/Browser.html?c=398&v=048&p=19 attractive]] for someone her age.

* LesYay
** The fact that Sawako used to see Kurumi as a female version of Kazehaya, says much.
** In the manga, Ayane also gives off this vibe when [[SympathyForTheDevil sympathizing with Kurumi]] in Chapter 43.
-->[[spoiler:"It would've been great if I were a guy, because I would understand even your worst faults."]]
** A bit of [[RomanticTwoGirlFriendship Romantic Three Girl Friendship]] is going between Ayane, Chizuru and Sawako. ''And'' it even occurs between [[HeterosexualLifePartners Ayane and Chizuru]] in their backstory, which they even lampshaded.
*** Six words: ''The cover of the second volume''.

* LonelyTogether - [[RuleOfFunny Parodied]] and [[InvokedTrope invoked]] with Joe in regards to Ayano, [[GenreSavvy she complies only due to the situation]] [[DatePeepers she's in]].
** Recent chapters suggest [[spoiler:Kent and Ayano are heading this case too, her comforting him when he's visibly hurt by how lovey-dovey Sawako and Kazehaya is, and vice versa when Ayano broke due to her inability of finding true love, he deliver a heartwarming CooldownHug]].

* MissingMom - The end of chapter 62 implies that Ryu's mother died when he was a kid.

* SnowMeansDeath - It was snowing really hard the last time Chizuru saw Ryu's mom.

* EverythingsPreciousWithPuppies -> [[spoiler:BigFriendlyDog]] - Maru-chan.

* BeyondTheImpossible - The anime takes this to heart with its prevalent and spectacular use of BishieSparkle, LoveBubbles, and other stereotypical {{shoujo}} frills. Hell, one of the first times Kurumi grabs Sawako's hands, an entire flowering bush sprouts behind the former.

* PetTheDog - [[spoiler:In Chapter 45, when [[LovableAlphaBitch Ayane]] confesses that she doesn't believe she's kind (compared to [[TheIngenue Sawako]] and [[PluckyGirl Chizu]]) because of how [[ManipulativeBitch cunning]] she can be in front of [[{{Jerkass}} Pin]], she dreads another TedBaxter lecture from a surprisingly quiet Pin, who instead stares at a candy Ayane gave him because he was whining about not getting one after the festival. Then, Pin literally ''pats'' Ayane on the head and reassures her that she is kind before walking up the stairs, leaving Ayane (and the readers) ''speechless'' that Pin could actually ''[[BeyondTheImpossible have]]'' a PetTheDog moment.]]

* ThreeFacesOfEve - Sawako ([[YamatoNadeshiko the wife]]), Chizuru (the child) and Ayane ([[GoodBadGirl the seductress]]).

* YamatoNadeshiko: Sawako is a fine example of this trope. She takes turns cooking for her family and is a good cook to boot, as well as keeping neat and orderly notes. She even makes all of her own Christmas gifts by hand!

* HeartwarmingMoment - [[BeyondTheImpossible The Series]] might be an appropriate nickname for this.

* PortmanteauSeriesNickname - "[=KimiTodo=]"

* [[spoiler:ThirdOptionLoveInterest]] - [[spoiler: [[http://www.89890.com/comic/3670/54/?28 Mogi]] from Class B is this for Ayane.]]
