The reason why I am watching this is because the original manga series was never finished due to the sudden death of the author in 1999 while she was moving her house (HOW IRONIC). Apparently, the anime will reveal the "true" ending planned by the author and released by her husband....

Can't wait to see the ending of this classics....

I really hoped this would be good. It reminds of Special A in some places. The character design could probably e stronger but i think with just this first episode anyone would fall in love wiht this anime. So far it's great and i cant wait to keep watching it.

Graphics are catastrophic. Unrealistic story with unecessary and annoying whinning. Predictable (We all know that the clumsy and generous and shouting girl always finishes with the cold-good inside-guy) and stereotypic ( did I say it right ? )

Threw me off, I'm outta here

Meh average, I see another opposite attract type theme coming up. Hate will eventually turn into love; so generic. First episode did do enough to keep me watching though. Character designs and artwork are good, the main female character, Aihara or something reminds me of Saki from Eden of the East lol.

1st episode was interesting enough for me to want to see the second.
I think this is one the wifey may want to watch with me.

Looks good. I watched marmalade boy in may, so this animation style actually looks pretty good.

Irie alone turned me off the anime, the animation didn't bother me and I thought the comedy was good. But I seriously hate the stuck up smart guys in anime.. I'll put it on hold until I feel better about it.

First episode was good though.

I enjoyed the first episode, art style was nice, not great, but if they need to save a few yen to put into improving the story being told it fine. I found it funny, and Irie is pretty stuck up, but he seem to at least have a more human side to him, in comparison to some of the stuck up characters in other anime.

I enjoyed the episode but it seem to much of a coincident that the boy she likes is living with her on the first episode.

Why is she going after this douchebag who obviously doesn't like her?
She should get together with Kin-chan. Problem is he reminds me a little too much of Kuwabara, but still

Haha awesome I love where this is going, an awesome concept and setting! The pace is also fairly decent so things will get rather interesting! Lets see what the story has to offer. The op&ed sure are enjoyable as well!

Ive been hearing great stuff about this anime for years and finally decided to give it a go.
First episode was decent but it's nothing spectacular so far, but that can always change
As of the first episode..... 7 out of 10 :)

I haven't watched this kind of genre in a while so I thought I would get back to it with this one. Although I didn't feel it was different from other shoujo romances I liked the characters a lot

Lol, this episode was full of laughs. I haven't quite seen a character like Kotoko, she's different from other shoujo girls in that she's on another level of clumsiness and misfortune ^^

But what really gets me is her reactions. I just love the way she says "Uso!" xD

A full-of-feelings episode, looks like it's going to be a very funny show.

Note: Wow! Kinnosuke reminds me too much of Kazuma Kuwabara, which's a good thing. And also Kotoko a bit of Kaede.

Woah, that dude truly is evil xD
Acting all gentle when his parents are around and then being so insulting the second after. What a douche.

Kin on the other side is really sweet, but soooo dumb. He remind me of those bullies from Hajime no Ippo :P

This show reminds me of School Rumble for some reason. You have an airhead, the punk, the smart guy and the side girls. The episode was pretty funny but poor Kotoko, she gets treated like an inferior but she still likes Nao.

I almost choked on my drink right after Nao's brother called Kotoko retarded XD.

Typical 1980s shoujo plot. Even the animation looks 1980s to me, especially the mouth movements, face and all. It was kinda boring tbh, but I'm not dropping it yet.

On the off chance anyone reads this before watching the entire series I would give this a pass. The main male MC is a dick, and no he doesn't have redeeming factors. The main female lead is alright except given every reason to not like the main character she does. She's shown to be extremely stupid, but maybe she's just a masochist. Really I find it incredibly sad, while him being mean is unique for the genere, after a good number of episodes it gets old, you then realaize it's just his personality. You want a decent love story, or really a nice laugh i'd look elsewhere.

2008? It looms like '90s anime.
It is just ugly and animation is very bad.
But I have mixed feelings about plot.
It is shoujo series so... It is decided already? (that she will end with this dumbass)
I don't know what I am supposed to think.
I hope that she will find a better partner.
And it wasn't funny, I don't like laughing about someone misfortune.

Irie kun and his bro are both very very rude. Unless there is a catch somewhere.

i had this on my PTW but one of my clubs encouraged me finally to start it

lol this is random as hell, specially with the new house collapsing,
and the freaking young brother ... Kanji is not like romaji, if you didn't already know those before, then it's probably hard to read them lmao

and ofc, as soon as they said a new house...ofc with Irie ... oh well, at least now they need to spend time together, something that almost definitely wouldn't happen if they were not in the same house

Found this series after finding out that it's based on a manga by the same person (Artist AND writer) who made Aishite Naito, so I'm pretty sure I'm gonna love this anime the same. For anybody who similarly loves this anime, absolutely check out Aishite Naito.

Just like with that anime, the OP here is super catchy and visually appealing. As for the love interest, jesus fuck... no words can describe the vile first impression he gave. Kotoko's father almost feels like a carbon copy of Yakko's father from Aishite Naito, which I'm totally down for, as he was such a lively character in that anime. Despite the rocky first impression of this anime (Got this mid anime vibe), I have faith in this anime becoming something I really like.
