Netflix Japan has announced that Karuho Shiina's Kimi ni Todoke - From Me to You manga is getting a live-action TV drama that will stream exclusively on Netflix worldwide in March 2023.
Sara Minami has been cast as Sawako Kuronuma and Ōji Suzuka has been cast as Shōta Kazahaya.
The drama is a joint production with TV Tokyo and Netflix.
Takehiko Shinjō and Takeo Kikuchi are directing the drama. Hayato Miyamoto is writing the scripts.
VIZ Media publishes the manga in English and describes it as:
Sawako Kuronuma is the perfect heroine...for a horror movie. With striking similarities to a haunting movie character--jet-black hair, sinister smile and silent demeanor--she's mistakenly called Sadako by those around her. But behind her scary façade is a very misunderstood teenager. Too shy to fit in, all she wants to do is make some friends. But when the most popular boy in class befriends her, she's sure to make more than just that--she's about to make some enemies too!
