Plot Summary: 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. (from Anime News Network)

Review: Itazura Na Kiss is a hilarious series. There wasn't an episode that I didn't enjoy. It is rare to like a charater like Kotoko, who is obsessed with a mean guy like Naoki. But you can't help but fall in love with such a stupid clumsy girl, who has such a big heart.

Don't think that Itazura Na Kiss is all laughs, there is also a lot of dramatic moments that might bring a tear to your eye. The more serious scenes come across as genuine and sincere, even if they have a little silliness to them.

Itazura Na Kiss is now a favorite of mine and something that I'd recommend to any that like comedy romance or heartfelt stories.
