Summary:
Sawako Kuronuma has been called Sadako for the longest time due to her resemblance to Sadako from The Ring. Because of this, she has always been misunderstood and feared, nobody wants to be her friend; Many people even believe she can see ghosts and cast curses. But, contrary to her looks, Sawako is a kind and gentle girl who just wants to make friends. When Kazehaya, her idol and the most popular boy around, begins talking to her, a friendship forms. More follow as Sawako finally learns how to come out of her shell and smiles (In a way that isn't scary.) Clearing up misunderstandings, and creating a couple more along the way. Sawako's adventure through life is filled with tears, smiles, and maybe a little bit of romance.

Honestly, this has become one of my favorite series of all time.
I absolutely love all the characters and following Sawako as she changes is filled with so much emotion and written/drawn masterfully. Sawako's character is nothing short of amazing, supported by her loyal friends and family. I would recommend it to anyone, even those it might not seem to fit so well. This is a story that deserves to be known. Each chapter is filled with glory and everything about it is perfect in my opinion. To anyone who hasn't read this story, I say they should but it at the top of their lists. This is an amazing series, I can't say it enough.
Anyone read it?
