In the other versions, we see a tiny smile every once in a while. I like this version, but he looks like he’s in pain whenever he’s with Kotoko. Kotoko’s childlike behavior wouldn’t be as much of a problem if this wasn’t the coldest and most serious Naoki of them all. She’s not supposed to be smart, but she literally seems like a child, not a girl in High School. I laugh alot at her, but I can’t take her seriously, and there are plenty of serious moments in this story. While she is entertaining, this Kotoko is a bit too much for me. If you’re as big a fan as me of the story you can watch it for laughs. I love it because it’s hilarious, but I don’t think it’s for anyone, and I don’t think this is the first version of Itazura na kiss anyone should see. There’s too much left out, in my opinion. There is only 9 episodes, which is really short compared to the other adaptions. Also, this one is more funny than romantic. It’s the first adaption, yet it’s the one most different from the manga, from what I’ve heard ( I haven’t read the manga).
Itazura na kiss - Love in Tokyo. Japanese adaption from 2013. I love it, and I love all the live action versions.
The anime is good for anyone who thinks the story sounds good and likes anime. This is originally a manga, but there’s been made an anime and 4 live action dramas from it.

The story follows Kotoko and Naoki getting closer in a series of adorable and at times funny moments, while they also have to face difficult choices about their future when high school ends. Naoki keeps acting cold to her, insisting that she won’t tell anyone that she’s living with him. Kotoko is now stuck living under the same roof as her crush who just rejected her. The same day, Kotoko’s newly built house gets destroyed by an earthquake, and she and her dad is invited to live with his best friend’s family, also turning out to be Naoki’s family. She is immediately rejected by Naoki, who won’t even read her letter, saying he hates “stupid girls”. Despite all this, in their senior year at High School, Kotoko’s “never give up”-attitude drives her to write him a love letter, wanting to confess her feelings before High School ends. He also has a generally cold attitude towards others. He is in the A-class with the best students, while Kotoko is in the F-class. He’s a genious, he’s good looking, and on top of that he’s really good at sports. The story: A cute, enthusiastic, but not really smart girl named Kotoko has been crushing on Irie Naoki, the most popular guy on her school, since freshman year. And the girl is as far from perfect as you can get, she’s very relatable.

Since I’m kinda obsessed with this cute little love story right now, I wanted to blog about it just because I can ^^ Feel free to ignore me xD I just really love this story! It feels like every young girl’s dreams and nightmares coming true! I guess it has to do with my love for bad guy/good girl romances, but I think this is different because this isn’t a bad bad guy, he’s just a little bit of a jerk.
