Kimi Ni Todoke: From Me to You, Vol. 8 -- Karuho Shiina, Paperback

Sawako "Sadako" Kuronuma is the perfect heroine...for a horror movie.

With her jet-black hair, sinister smile and silent demeanor, Sawako "Sadako" Kuronuma always had trouble fitting in. But her whole life changes when she befriends the most popular boy in class, Shota Kazehaya. Can love trump her cursed life?

A new school year begins happily when Sawako and her friends Chizu and Ayane--as well as her crush, Kazehaya--are all in the same homeroom. But when another popular guy in the class shows an interest in Sawako, will it push Kazehaya and Sawako apart?
