NIS America Acquires Kimi no Todoke Anime

Those who want to get a hold of Kimi no Todoke are in luck because NIS America announced at their Anime Expo panel that they've acquired the series for a North American release.
The series will be released in 2 parts with 13 episodes each with the first part being released in October.
In Kimi no Todoke, Sawako Kuronuma, also known as Sadako by her classmates due to her resemblance to the character from The Ring, has been feared and misunderstood because of her appearance. Despite how she appears, Sawako is actually timid and sweet, her greatest hope being to make friends and be liked by those around her. When Kazehaya, the school's most popular boy, begins talking with her, a world of possibilities open up and she finds the friends she's longed for.
Currently the manga is licensed by VIZ Media.
