Kimi ni todoke

The festival is over, and everyone's spirits are down.

The future is on eveyone's minds, and Yano and Kento are feeling the anxiety of losing each other as they hit a crossroad in their relationship.

Relationships undergo changes as Sawako spends more time with Kurumi and less with Kazehaya, Chizu reveals her feelings about Ryu, and Yano confesses something to Kento that he doesn't want to hear.

Spring is in the air, but doubts about the future bloom along with the flowers for Sawako and her friends. A bright spot in this season of worry is White Day, where the boys return gifts for the ones they received on Valentine's Day.

Kazehaya discusses his strict father with Sawako, deepening their relationship just in time for Valentine's Day, when Sawako plans to give Kazehaya chocolate for the first time.

A new year brings promise, with the budding relationships of Ayane and Kento, and Chizu and Ryu, and fear, with Sawako worried about choosing a career path.

After the Christmas party, Kazehaya finally kisses Sawako! But a kiss is not enough, and Sawako asks permission from her parents to stay out late with Kazehaya.

Sadako, feeling like her boyfriend Kazehaya is being distant, decides to take a drastic step in order to finally reach him.

While their friends' romantic relationships deepen, Sawako feels Kazehaya pulling away, and hopes that throwing a big Christmas party will bring the troubled couple back together.
