Kimi ni Todoke 01-02: A Most Misunderstood Lady

This is the story of a girl…

Despite the lack of my kind of mecha it seems that I get a very promising shoujo series this season. Sawako is just darling as a little generator of fear forcing cowards to flee for the hills at a mere glance. Unfortunately she’d rather make friends with these cowardly types than cast them off a precipice of annihilation, but different strokes for different folks I guess. At any rate I have taken a liking to Sawako because she is such a good person who is sorely misunderstood by her idiot peers. Thankfully she is not too into weeping over her situation and tries to make others conform to her will. She tries to make friends with varying degrees of success but at the very least Yano and Yoshida readily accept her along with Kazehaya. Yoshsida is my favorite of the bunch as she has a code of justice and a fatal weakness for well mannered otome, Yano is a bit more slow, and Kazehaya is a boy that has yet to adopt the sagely methods of Patrick Colasour. Sawako may have trouble making friends but she takes to her Zeus given talents with gusto, and worries mostly about not living up to expectation. Long may Sawako SHINE IN THE NAME OF ZEUS. Sawako gets a bit weepy now and then, but at least she is selfless, though at times overly selfless, so I can forgive Sawako’s True Tears for Noe likes them too.
As for Kazehaya at least he’s trying to get through to Sawako that he likes her, still the boy lacks confidence and cannot be blunt and clear. I suppose that this being a romance and all that things will proceed slowly as Sawako’s shoujo kokoro slowly unlocks. It is good that she is starting to make friends, and what she may lack in quantity I am certain that she will make up for it in quality. Kazehaya has confidence issues of his own and has much to learn before he can get his BEST END. It was really rude of the rest of the class during the changing of the seats, and certainly it is wrong of them to blame poor innocent Sawako over their cravenly fear and how their own miserable failings result in them having weak immune systems and pathetic academic prowess. Certainly it is a form of bullying though one born out of an irrationally fear of some one who is as pleasant as they come. I really hated that ungrateful dog for being a coward it lacks the capacity to be a war hound and if it were up to me I toss the cur into traffic or drown it in the river. Next week it seems that one of Kaehaya’s stalker-tans will try and interfere, I shall enjoy watching her fail. If nothing else this show makes me dawwww and feel a little warm and fuzzy inside to balance out the copious amount of yuri I am currently watching. I must make special mention of the OP and ED which I really like and find wondrously relaxing and cute.

She was a knid and gentle little lady…

Who had serious image problems…

Were she a man she would have delighted in being universally feared.

Sawako was a most gifted pathfinder.

It was most rude of them to not give a polite response.

Poor Sawako caught the attentions of a certain boy.

This boy was pretty much the opposite of her.

If only she really held him in that sort of contempt.

Why should she apologize it’s fucking true amirite?

I have a clear idea on how you should take it, but right now you seem to be content to take it lying down…

Oh Sawako you need not flatter him.

For you see while you don’t like him that way per se, his feelings do no conform to yours…

This is bullying then…

Such is her glorious aura of fear that cowards flee and hide under shrubbery and rocks.

She totally heard that.

How could such a face inspire terror is beyond me, must be cause her radiance is anathema to all the ugly chicks at school…

Bleh female rumor mongering is insipid.

I have Great Expectations for Sawako, I have little for this one.

I totally agree Sawako will soon be a courageous hero.

This is sometime for a confession.

And you better keep it…

Though Sawako is having the most fun.

Impressive.

Most Impressive…

Indeed you are more powerful than the Emperor thought…

Yeah like you wetting yourself…

Is it not a wonderful feeling to strike fear into the hearts of those who claim to be social superiors?

Truly Sawako is a master at this.

Way to go good to see that your courage is lacking.

Indeed the world looks so much better through NVGs…

No, ladies continue with the roasting…

Sawako is a pro after all.

You have awesome values, do you also believe in the teachings of Almighty Zeus?

I am hoping not too many firsts of a nature unbecoming to a lady.

The lucky bastard.

This statement is most agreeable, but the tone is contemptible. Sawako you are free to use any methods neccessary, but I do not want them alive… use of disintegrations is cleared.

At least he has the manners of a goat.

It is good to be clear, and also blunt but that is optional.

Such honesty this one has.

The path of the Hero can be a lonely one at times.

I think you will have stalking problems, not contact problems.

Was just perfectly fine.

This tribute of apology is most lacking…

They finally decided to bow before your magnificence.

What could it be I wonder?

Alright lover boy don’t you dare rush things, ya hear?

Aww look a puppy.

…

This puppy is not worth keeping, kick into traffic I say!

bah you are too kind Sawako and a better person than I can ever hope to be…

I consider it a good deed to rid the world of a bad dog.

Says you. I hope you get a Billy Goat you Sumeragi-type slut…

What delightful manners she has.

Worry not your embarassment is but short lived compared to the shame they feel after crapping in their panties.

Watch it there buddy you have to let her punch you first and you have to give her flowers too…

What a saint she even intends to give stuff back!

Such a pure heart unsullied by feelings of non-yuri love.

Oh Ayane, Chizuru appreciates Sawako’s good manners, tis a rare trait these days.

Oguie cosplay?

To be Patrick-class requires unwavering belief in you love, this boy has much to learn…

Sure but don’t forget to neuter it .

Bah it was all because they were cowards.

My advice is to hear all and trust nothing.

Damn right it’s fucking awesome.

This one is most delightfully direct.

This Ryu fellow might prove troublesome.

Not yet anyways…

But sir you are no Rosa Parks…

Well I do admit it is the best seat in the class.

Chizuru Make your own justice…

For Sawako’s feeling of love is worth protecting.

I guess this one is cannot violate the law…I suggest for future career, be join the police.

Chizuru is also most honest.

This Ryu seems to be a glutton.

Little girl I warn if you dare challenge Sawako’s might prepare for failure.

Do you speak of Kameraden? I tell you it is a most profound kind of relationship that is forged in the fires of battle, sealed throguh mutual bloodshed, and guarded by the souls of the honored dead.
