Kimi Ni Todoke: From Me to You (Vol. 1) / Karuho Shiina / 205 p.

Sawako nicknamed Sadako because she looks like a traditional ghost from Japanese horror movies (think the girl from the movie "The Ring"), is very introverted and socially inept.  However, things start to change when she becomes friends with the most popular boy in school.

There is really not much to this story, and in fact there is so little happening there is tons of filler.  Over and over we see Sawako trying to befriend people, but end up scaring them away.  And then there are many drawings of Sawako's confused/determined face close up, as she is marveling over and over about how nice the popular boy, Kazehaya, is.

Needless to say I got pretty bored with this book and I doubt I will continue with the series.
