Kimi Ni Todoke season 3 release window, cast, plot, and more

Get the Full StorySummer is in the air the season of sunburns, mysteriously multiplying zucchinis, and anime releases.

This season, after a whole decade of waiting, dusting off your old collectibles might just be worth it because Kimi ni Todoke is making a grand re-entry. For those unacquainted and honestly, where have you been? , Kimi ni Todoke falls into that sweet, often tear-jerking category of slice-of-life shojo anime. Shojo, known for its focus on romance and relationships through the emotionally charged lives of its characters, often doesn t see many of its series extend beyond the first or second season. That s why Kimi ni Todoke scoring a third season is nothing short of a miracle in the anime heavens.

Diving deeper into the heart of Kimi ni Todoke, we reconnect with Sawako Kuronuma, our protagonist whose eerie resemblance to a popular horror movie character has made her high school life less than ordinary. Honestly, we have all been Sawako at some point the misunderstood outcast who just wants to make friends and maybe, just maybe, catch the eye of that special someone. As we ve followed her journey from solitude to finding her circle, I for one can t wait to see where season three takes her.

The buzz around Kimi ni Todoke season three started on a clear September 3, 2023, when Netflix officially announced that the anime was back in the works. Now, the sequel is set to drop on Netflix in August 2024. The streaming platform hasn t always had the best track record when it comes to anime. They ve been known to butcher translations, cut content, and generally just mess things up. But hey, at least they re trying, right? And in this case, they re bringing back a beloved series that s been gone for far too long. So I m willing to cut them some slack.

What will happen in season three?

Season two of Kimi ni Todoke wrapped up with an emotional crescendo, leaving us at chapter 46 of the manga. When we last saw our favorite awkward-but-adorable couple, Sawako and Shouta had finally confessed their feelings for each other and were officially dating. But as any true shojo fan knows, the confession is just the beginning of the story.

They ve got a lot of firsts to experience together like their first kiss okay, maybe that one s wishful thinking on my part . But more than that, they ve got a lot of personal growth to go through. It s not always going to be easy, but that s what makes their journey so compelling to watch.

If nothing else, at least we ll finally get to see Sawako and Shouta hold hands without blushing and stammering like the adorable dorks they are. Just kidding, I love their awkwardness!
