Sawako and Kazehaya Get Closer in Kimi ni Todoke Season 3

There’s finally a release date for season 3 of the Kimi ni Todoke anime, as well as a trailer showing what’s happening between Sawako Kuronuma and Shouta Kazehaya. The show will return on Netflix on August 1, 2024. 

For those unfamiliar, Kimi ni Todoke is a shojo romance series with slice of life elements to it. Sawako is a high school student who is constantly alone and even bullied due to her looking so much like Sadako from The Ring. After a chance meeting with Kazehaya, Sawako begins to find friends, be accepted by people around her, and even find love. As highlighted in the new trailer for the third season, this season picks up with Sawako and Kazehaya finally dating and brings up the new challenges that brings for her.

The first season of the Kimi ni Todoke anime appeared in 2009, with the second showing up in 2011, but it’d been a while with no news about a season 3. Both of those appeared on Crunchyroll and Netflix. The live-action adaptation, which appeared in 2023, is also on Netflix. 

Kimi ni Todoke season 3 will appear on Netflix on August 1, 2024, and the previous seasons are on Netflix and Crunchyroll. The manga is handled by Viz Media outside of Japan.
