Introduction to the Anime "Kimi ni Todoke 3RD SEASON"

"How do you date someone?" While confused by her growing feelings, Sawako confronts herself and confesses her feelings to Kazehaya. Kazehaya, who had been attracted to Sawako's genuine and unpretentious personality, also straightforwardly conveyed his feelings without looking away. This marks the beginning of a new relationship between Sawako and Kazehaya.

Their first date, spending school life as a couple, joyful moments, embarrassing moments, and new worries. The two gradually get to know each other, albeit awkwardly, as the love stories of their friends also begin to unfold. This bittersweet, poignant story of boys and girls, woven with irreplaceable friends and various expressions of love, begins anew.
