The first time (when she realized Kurumi's true intentions back in one of the earlier volumes) it's touching and it makes sense. What is starting to annoy me about Kimi ni todoke is actually not the pacing anymore, but the fact that Sawako cries all the time. The author is surely going to come back to this later on. And while volumes 5 and 6 deal with Chizuru's one-sided love, there's pretty much no development in her relationship with Ryu. She's however completely oblivious to Ryu's feelings. To be fair, at least Chizuru knows about her feelings, they're just for the wrong person. And to be save, make her just as oblivious as Sawako. ![]() Sawako's rival got taken care of and Sawako realized her feelings for Kazehaya - so how can you avoid having her confess and instead drag out the story some more? Right, switch focus on one of Sawako's best friends tragic love story. ![]()
