KIMI NI TODOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Totally sweet and totally school-based shoujo manga. No hidden powers, no dark past of the hero to work on, only a misunderstood girl who makes friends in high school and whose personality catches the eye of a popular boy (who isn't as saintly as he seems either, although lots of people misunderstand that). It's just sweet and about growing-up and dealing with disappointments and doing your best in a non-preachy way. I think the only person who is a caricature of himself is the teacher.
