Why did Kimi ni Todoke return? — The new beginning of shojo
Why did Kimi ni Todoke mark a new stage in shojo?
Previously The genre used to particularly frame how the protagonists realized and recognized the kind of feelings they had for each other. In this way, after a series of misunderstandings were resolved, the protagonists realized that their feelings were reciprocated, after which everything ended in the confession and the meeting of the protagonists as an emerging couple.
After that, the opening or the mere approach to formalized courtship closed the story.In other words, a large part of what shojo sought was to make the characters develop and recognize themselves, not only on a romantic level but also in the other facets of themselves as they live their adolescence.
Nevertheless, Kimi and Todoke went further, not leaving aside the essence of the genre. The end of the second season did settle the matter in the expectations of the shojo audience, and The series left us right at the moment when Kazehaya and Sawako know that they feel the same way and after this they formalize their relationship. Now, we all know that the manga continued for quite a while longer and developed new things that contemporary shojo take up.
In fact, The new knots that focus on contemporary shojo are the problems of maintaining a relationshipof really being interested in the other person and also of expanding the vision of what feelings imply in the future.
Modern shojo seek to shed light on the management of responsible and respectful dynamics, as well as recognizing dependency and distinguishing it from support, from relying on the other, a very important issue in contemporary romantic love.

Today’s shojo also build on what currently plagues relationships: effective communication, appropriate consideration of the other, and the alignment of goals, all in pursuit of a solid, future-oriented relationship.
Several shojo look positive, rescuing every point of this whole panorama, from A Sign of Affection to A Condition Called Love, Both series arrived in 2024 to show us what happens “after love” in previous shojo.
From this perspective, it is the return of one of the pioneering works to elaborate on what “happens after love” —well, from the statement—, it happens to fall into what contemporary shojo offer and of course, it elaborates on what we expect from them.
Because of this, in 2024 we saw the return of Kimi and Todoke, one of the most beautiful shojo of the genre, which It is refreshed by the new current in which it has a place as one of the pioneering shojo.
