Itazura na Kiss

Anime

Release date:  

The TV anime series Itazura na Kiss was adapted by TMS Entertaniment, based on the "bible of romance" for shoujo manga from the 1990s, which gained a morbid reputation when its author - Kaoru Tada - died in early 1999, before she could finish the manga. In the romantic comedy story, a high school girl named Kotoko finally tells a fellow senior named Naoki that she has loved him from afar since she saw him on their first day of high school. However, Naoki, a haughty "super-ikemen" (handsome male) with smarts and sports talent, rejects her offhand. Fate intervenes when a mild earthquake ruins Kotoko's family house. While the house gets rebuilt, Kotoko and her dad stay at the home of her dad's childhood friend... whose son is Naoki. (includes ANN synopsis)
