History YMMV / KimiNiTodoke

* NarmCharm: The live action movie at points.

* MisaimedFandom: As mentioned above under BaseBreaker, some fans refuse to forgive [[BitchInSheepsClothing Kurumi]] and [[RomanticFalseLead Kent]] for their flaws and mistakes at earlier points in the story no matter how much they may develop afterward. This, however, is rather CompletelyMissingThePoint of [[RousseauWasRight the series and its overall theme]], to say nothing of [[AllLovingHero the views of its heroine.]]

* BaseBreaker: Kurumi is either an irredeemably [[ManipulativeBitch manipulative]] and nasty human being who doesn't deserve to breathe the same air as the rest of the cast, or a poor, heartbroken soul who, despite her ways early in the series, [[JerkassWoobie really needs a hug.]] She is less of one among fans of the manga, in which she has very blatantly matured, becoming more goal-oriented and friendlier ([[HoYay to say the least]]) toward Sawako.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome - Now [[Awesome/KimiNiTodoke has its own page,]] along with [[Heartwarming/KimiNiTodoke heartwarming,]] [[Funny/KimiNiTodoke funny]], [[TearJerker/KimiNiTodoke tearjerker]] and even [[NightmareFuel/KimiNiTodoke nightmare fuel.]] Yes, that last one, too. Really. Even in [[SweetDreamsFuel this series.]]

* HeartwarmingMoment - [[SerialEscalation The Series]] might be an appropriate nickname for this.
* HilariousInHindsight: In chapter 32, Chizu and Kazehaya have a conversation in which she casually says this line:
-->'''Chizu''': Yano-chin's been doing a lot of complaining about Kent lately. What do you think that's about? Love? Bwahaha!
** Skip ahead about forty chapters, and [[spoiler: Kent and Ayane really ''are'' dating.]] That's right, the majority of the fandom didn't see it coming, but ''[[ObliviousToLove Chizu]]'' did.

** The fact that Sawako used to see Kurumi as a female version of Kazehaya, says much.
** In fact, ''most'' of what goes on between Sawako and Kurumi in the early chapters comes off pretty [[{{Yuri}} yuri-esque]], especially when taken out of context.
** Chapter 89 [[http://www.mangahere.co/manga/kimi_ni_todoke/v15/c089/35.html then cranked it up to 11 between Sawako and Kurumi.]]
** In the manga, Ayane also gives off this vibe when sympathizing with Kurumi in Chapter 43.
-->[[spoiler:"It would've been great if I were a guy, because I would understand even your worst faults."]]
** She repeats it in a later chapter, mentioning Kurumi among "her types of girls" and that she'd "be better for her" than Kazehaya.
-->'''Ayane:''' If I were a guy, I'd choose Chizu or Sawako. Or Kurumi. I could do better than Kazehaya.

** And then, of course, we have the credits of the live action adaptation. Sawako and Kazehaya share a moment, Sawako's parents share a moment, Chizu and Ryu share a moment, and who does Ayane share a moment with? ''Kurumi.''

* MemeticMutation - This is the series that added "[[BishieSparkle SPARKLES]] AND [[LoveBubbles BUBBLES]]" to /a/'s lexicon.

* PortmanteauCoupleName - "Sawakaze", which is also the title of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPh0KUXDi5I the second opening theme]].
* SweetDreamsFuel

** Pin's reaction to Kurumi.
** [[PreciousPuppies Maru-chan]]

* TheWoobie: Poor, ''poor'', Sawako. She suffers from [[ShrinkingViolet crippling shyness,]] [[HeroicSelfDeprecation low self esteem issues]], [[FriendlessBackground grew up with next to no friends]], and [[GuiltComplex frequently blames herself for everything that goes wrong,]] even things that hardly involve her. Even when some of these traits lessen, you can't help but want to hug her when she cries.

* FanPreferredCouple: A lot of fans still ship Ayane/Pin over Ayane/[[spoiler: Kent]], even though the latter ship is the one currently sailing. Ayane/[[spoiler: Kent]] still has a decent support base, though, and there's been a surprisingly small amount of ShipToShipCombat or DieForOurShip going on (for now, anyway). Both fandoms' tolerance for the respective "rivals" may come from the fact that a) the readers are mainly Ayane's fans and both guys are really caring and supportive to Ayane b) Pin is Ayane's teacher, so one group sees him as the future option for Ayane, while she's dating [[spoiler:Kent]] "for now", while the other accepts his presence as long as he doesn't interfere with the current ship.

** A huge, ''huge'' amount of fans still reading the manga are only keeping up with it for the supporting couples (namely [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Ryu/Chizu]] and [[TeacherStudentRomance Ayane/Pin]], although there are a few rooting for other pairings as well).

** Kento is either a sweet (albeit slightly obnoxious) guy who genuinely cares about Ayane and his other classmates, or a pushy, bumbling fool unworthy of Ayane's precious time. [[DieForOurShip (Of course, the latter group tend to be hardcore AyaPin shippers]], but there are exceptions).

** JerkassWoobie: Kurumi. She may well be an AlphaBitch in a series where [[TastesLikeDiabetes this is especially obvious]], but you can't help but feel sorry for her at points.

** Kurumi's becoming more and more liked by the fandom, too, [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap even if she did get off to a disastrous start with a lot of viewers/readers.]] Her CharacterDevelopment has been relatively good and she's actually quite a [[LovableAlphaBitch lovable character]] in recent chapters, especially since [[spoiler: she's begrudgingly becoming friends with Sawako - seemingly for real, this time.]]

* BaseBreaker: Kurumi is either an irredeemably [[ManipulativeBitch manipulative]] and nasty human being who doesn't deserve to breathe the same air as the rest of the cast, or a poor, heartbroken soul who, despite her ways early in the series, [[JerkassWoobie really needs a hug.]] She is less of one among fans of the manga, in which she has very blatantly matured, becoming more goal-oriented and friendlier toward Sawako.

* BaseBreaker: Kurumi is either an irredeemably [[ManipulativeBitch manipulative]] and nasty human being who doesn't deserve to breathe the same air as the rest of the cast, or a poor, heartbroken soul who, despite her ways early in the series, [[JerkassWoobie really needs a hug.]]

** A lot of Ayane's CharacterDevelopment has pushed her into this position, since she spends a lot of time lamenting over [[spoiler: not being able to feel love for any of the guys she dates.]] Considering this and the fact that two of the three boyfriends we've seen her with in the series have treated her horribly, it's hard not to feel bad for her.

** Ayane has a considerable following, for being the CoolBigSis of the group and a no-nonsense, proactive ShipperOnDeck for both of her best friends' and their respective love interests. She's also appreciated for fending off [[AlphaBitch Alpha Bitches]] trying to ruin peace, and she's been undergoing a good bit of CharacterDevelopment lately.

** Ayane has a considerable following, for being the CoolBigSis of the group and a no-nonsense, proactive ShipperOnDeck for both of her best friends' and their respective love interests. She's also appreciated for fending off [[AlphaBitch Alpha Bitches]] trying to ruin peace. That's a lot of work. And she's been undergoing a good bit of CharacterDevelopment lately.

* In fanon, Ayane tends to be portrayed as a lesbian, bisexual, aromantic, asexual or demisexual. Very few fans seem to headcanon her as straight.

* RealWomenNeverWearDresses
** Completely [[AvertedTrope averted]]. Sawako is shown cooking and knitting presents for Christmas, is gentle and extremely, [[UpToEleven and we mean ''extremely'']], [[ShrinkingViolet shy, passive]], and [[ExtremeDoormat willing to be ordered around]]. And she never, except for her PE outfit, wears pants. Yet no FanDumb screaming that girlishness = lack of personality has shown itself, and the fandom proves that it can love a heroine as a "real woman", when the character is well-written.
** Kazehaya even points out that it's somewhat unusual for Sawako to wear pants in Chapter 55.

** Ayane has a considerable following, for being CoolBigSis of the group, a non-nonsense, proactive ShipperOnDeck for both of her best friends' and their respective love interests, and fending off [[AlphaBitch Alpha Bitches]] trying to ruin peace. That's a lot of work. And she's been undergoing a good bit of CharacterDevelopment lately.

** Chizu, too, as of later chapters. She's had to deal with [[spoiler: her childhood best friend confessing his love to her out of the blue and the consequent awkwardness]], culminating in [[spoiler: her slow realisation of her own feelings for him]], followed by [[spoiler: said friend announcing that he's going to go away to university.]] Her reaction to all of this is, understandably, [[TearJerker not the most cheerful thing to observe.]]

** StoicWoobie: Ryu. He's been in love with a girl who doesn't return his feelings for [[PatientChildhoodLoveInterest pretty much his entire life]],[[spoiler: his eventual confession to said girl was rejected]] and [[spoiler: his mother died in a tragic accident]], but don't expect him to complain about it.

* FanPreferredCouple: A lot of fans still ship Ayane/Pin over Ayane/[[spoiler: Kent]], even though the latter ship is the one currently sailing. Ayane/[[spoiler: Kent]] still has a decent support base, though, and there's been a surprisingly small amount of ShipToShipCombat or DieForOurShip going on (for now, anyway).

* EnsembleDarkhorse - Try and find one fan who doesn't love [[TheQuietOne Ryuu]]. Go on. Just try. It's probably going to take you a while.

* FanPreferredCouple: A lot of fans still ship Ayane/Pin over Ayane/[[spoiler: Kent]], even though the latter ship is the one currently sailing. Ayane/[[spoiler: Kent]] still has a decent support base, though, and there's been a surprisingly small amount of ShipToShipCombat or DieForOurShip going on (for now, anyway).

** A huge, ''huge'' amount of fans still reading the manga are only keeping up with it for the supporting couples (namely [[BetaCouple Ryu/Chizu]] and [[FanPreferredCouple Ayane/Pin]], although there are a few rooting for other pairings as well).

* EnsembleDarkhorse - [[TheQuietOne Quiet]] and collected Ryuu seems to be gathering a fine fandom of his own.
** Further proving this is the fact that the Chizu/Ryu ship has gained almost as much interest and support as that of Sawako/Kazehaya.
** A huge, ''huge'' amount of fans still reading the manga are only keeping up with it for the supporting couples.
* FanPreferredCouple: A lot of fans still ship Ayane/Pin over Ayane/[[spoiler: Kent]], even though the former ship seems almost sunk by this point in the manga. Ayane/[[spoiler: Kent]] still has a decent support base, though, and there's been a surprisingly small amount of ShipToShipCombat or DieForOurShip going on (for now, anyway).

* TheWoobie: Sawako, big time. She suffers from [[ShrinkingViolet crippling shyness,]] [[HeroicSelfDeprecation low self esteem issues]], [[FriendlessBackground grew up with next to no friends]], and [[GuiltComplex frequently blames herself for everything that goes wrong,]] even things that hardly involve her. Even when some of these traits lessen, you can't help but want to hug her when she cries.
