Kimi ni Todoke 2 Begins, DS Game To Follow

At least two of the most solid surveys aimed at determining the most anticipated TV anime from the newly begun winter 2011 season - one conducted by ANN and one by Dengeki - have made it clear that both Western and Japanese fan(girl)s were equally excited about Kimi ni Todoke's 2nd season. The new series began airing in Japan today, after first being hinted back in September, shortly before the live-action movie's premiere that same month.



Since then, a new DS game titled Kimi ni Todoke: Tsutaeru Kimochi ("Conveyed Feelings") has also been announced. Like the previous one from 2009, this, too, is coming from Banpresto for the Nintendo DS handheld, sometime in spring 2011. Its official website is still pretty barren, however.

Judging by the length of Karuho Shiina's manga that spaned this whole shoujo madness (12 compiled volumes and counting), the franchise will likely keep going on, and on. And on. For now, though, you might want to stick around for a Kimi ni Todoke gallery update - I'll get right on it now done.
