Sawako Kuronuma has a reputation she never asked for: classmates call her 'Sadako' after the horror-movie ghost and keep their distance, sure she's cursed. That changes when cheerful classmate Shouta Kazehaya starts talking to her like there's nothing wrong with her at all, and Sawako begins learning how to make friends for the first time. This light novel series is an authorized novelization that retells the Kimi ni Todoke manga in prose.
