Movie Review: Kimi No Todoke (Reaching You)

      Kimi No Todoke (君に届け) is the first live action movie that I have seen, adapted from a shojo/shoujo manga or Japanese comics geared towards the female readers. The story plot is about a young woman named Sawako, who is nicknamed by her classmates, 'Sadako' (a character in a Japanese horror film Ringu). Because she resembles her long hair, and she is weird, and awkward in the way she deals with other people, oftentimes a loner. Despite of that she develops a friendship with the most popular boy in the school named Shota.
 
        This is another likeable Japanese film that you should watch. Japanese films, are simple, yet beautiful in their own way. The plot of the story is not too difficult understand, nor heavy or a drag to follow. I also love the cinematography here. When Sawako looks at the Cherry blossom tree. This movie also evokes a certain feeling, like remembering our first crush during our high-school days. This is another manga turned into a live-action movie worth watching.
