The Beneficiary

August arrived.

The sun blazed overhead, and the temperature climbed. By afternoon, Chu Yu's body, which couldn't stand either cold or heat, was already struggling. He set the air conditioner to his favorite seventeen degrees, and then... sleepiness washed over him!

After all, autumn was almost here, and it was easy to get drowsy while working.

During this period, aside from Kimi ni Todoke still airing, Chu Yu and his GT Animation Company hadn't made any big waves in the Animation Industry in either Japan Island or the Mainland.

Now, with its run well underway, Kimi ni Todoke had reached episode thirty-one.

The truth was, Kimi ni Todoke had always been a slow-paced series. Around episodes sixteen or seventeen, after Kurumizawa Ume's storyline ended and Kuronuma Sawako realized that what she felt for Kazehaya Shouta was love... the plot moved on to a string of little, everyday events.

The two leads' daily interactions, Chizuru's romantic troubles, and the ordinary lives of the main cast, for example.

These stories were still enjoyable, of course, but it was obvious that what the fans most wanted to see was the leads finally getting together...

Yet the main storyline kept putting off that moment. As time went on, the fans were practically driven crazy with impatience.

Fortunately, once August began... the series finally made progress in the leads' relationship. The thing was, compared with before, the fans were even more anxious now.

After all, fans had thought that once Kurumizawa Ume was out of the running, the leads' relationship would advance quickly. But the recent episodes had made them realize...

Zhao Qinyin was at it again...

What could keep two people who loved each other and secretly pined for each other from getting together?

There was only one answer... misunderstandings. All kinds of misunderstandings...
