| This episode was okay but nothing special. Some comedy and some drama... that's all I can say about this one. ^_^ |

The only anime that I didn't mind having rubbish background characters has to be Lucky Star. ^_^ |

| I love this show. ^^ Tsundere Naoki lol. The carrying scene and Irie saying you can never know what your feelings will be tomorrow were awesome, and I couldn't stop laughing when Kotoko chose Irie's dad as the person she loves. xD And one thing I like about this show so far are the characters. Usually there's at least one character in a show whom I'm annoyed by, but Itazura na Kiss has none; in fact, I like all of them quite a bit. Beach episode next. Looking forward to it~ |
| Manditory High School Slice-of-Life Sports Festival episode and next week it's umi da yo! So far I'm enjoying these. |
 |
| It was another good episode and I have to agree that I was glad she slapped him, he really deserved it. |

If they even have shapes shapes that aren't like stick people :PAoikokoro said: i agree! it looks really weird when the background people are faceless... The only thing wrong with this series is the cheaply done animation, I mean, they could at least give people in the background faces! For another, I don't know that the animation is all that cheap. If you look at the manga, it started being publish in 1990. The style is very old. They needed to chose a style that would appeal to both the manga fans, AND the new anime watchers. Which is why sometimes the characters' styles look old, and sometimes they don't. I, for one, think they've done a fantastic job with the animation, especially compared to some of the other shoujo this season. |
| Aw I thought this episode was so cute. It's playing out so much like the Taiwanese drama version (which I loved). This episode was cute, when Kotoko started dazzing out during the race, lol. I also loveee the mom, such a great character. The animation is pretty good, but it is odd when even close up side characters have no faces...I guess it brings your attention to the main characters...but it is a bit distracting. As to the different types of animation style for the characters, I agree with Kineta and I like how it matches each character's personality. |
     |
| Oh man, I laughed so hard at Kin-chan suddenly invading the Irie household. XD He's such a good friend. Another excellent episode with a bit more drama this time. I loved the scene where Kotoko slapped Irie; it was very well executed. Can't wait for more~ |
     |
| I loved the scene when Naoki read the loveletter and the said it out loud. xD Naoki is a jerk, that it's just lovely. |
 |
| BITCHSLAP finally! <3 I loved the scene with Naoki reading the letter on the bed. So cute! ^^ I'm ashamed to share my name with such an oh-so-dorky character... why does he have to be named Kin? Why? |
    |
kin-chan said: lulz xDI'm ashamed to share my name with such an oh-so-dorky character... why does he have to be named Kin? Why? Btw, did anyone else notice that Irie didn't tear down that poster of him and Kotoko like he did last time? um....woot? ;D |
| it was a pretty good episode. i enjoyed the emotions and how the younger brother was always in the background glaring at her. i hate how some of th faces are not drawn in but then in this same episode, at the beginning when she was laying on her bed, where u see half of her face, i thought it was one of the most beautifully done drawings of her. |
| I'm loving this show. It's funny, cute and the characters are amazing. Irie seems to be warming to Kotoko and maybe tomorrow he'll love her? Adorable speech! Although he deserved that slap! Woop! You go girl! |
 |
| I'm also loving this show. Each episode gets better and better. |
| Another great episode. The show remains interesting despite using generic school romance plotlines and events (e.g. Sports Day). Kotoko is really cute and I think the animation has improved since the first episode (except for Kin-chan's expression, ah well.) Looking forward to the next ep! |

| I think I am too familiar with the Manga / Live Action (both Japan and Taiwanese!) to find this interesting. Ha, if I didnt know the WHOLE story like the back of my hand, then I would definitely dig it. This anime should have come out YEARS ago to be honest. Just so sad that the mangaka never really finished the story (not technically). I can't wait to see what type of ending they will put on this series (if they get that far!) |

I am really familiar with the manga and all the previous versions, but I am still really enjoying this :) I predict that they will do what the Taiwan drama's first season did, and end it at manga volume 10. Then they have plenty of material they can still cover in a second season if they wanted to (like they did in Taiwan). I am really curious to see if this is what they will do or not :) They are already in volume 2, so I wonder if this pace will continue! |

| Yeah, I didn't like the relay bit. And the reason that class F lost to begin with was because of Kotoko and her mind wandering in such a strange way. I was okay with every other part of the episode though, thought everything was rather cute. |
| Dunno, it's not like it's easy to let go of your own feelings. She was in love with him for -two years-, even though he's a bastard, she can't get over her fantasies that easy. It was idiotic, yeah, but not unexpected. |
| Great epiosde. The scene where Irie carrying Kotoko was cute. I love how she was confident enough to Irie. Good slap, Kotoko. |
| This was a solid episode. The only things bugging me are the excessive recapping done at the beginning of the episode and the animation shortcuts. Like, you don't get a face drawn unless you're a main character. That's the small stuff though. All in all, I'm enjoying this show a lot. |
 |
| *slap* cute!!!! the next episode is a beach episode, those are always fun |
 |
| Okay, yay for the slap |
| Love Psychological? Join Pyschological Love =D  |
| SLAAAAAAAP! muahahaha. He deserved it :3 |
     |
| oh Slap!!! pretty good episode compared to all the other ones (all have been good so far) actually, i think the slap was a nice add, it kinda made irie remind him that kotoko was an actual person. the episode did not make me laugh a lot, but it made me smile a couple of times at least we know irie wont treat her as cold as before.. though still a little mean i guess... photographic memory= your best weapon irie's mom is awesome as always and i am starting to dislike kotoko's friends, i mean... starting rumors when kotoko asked them not to spread that... i mean, what kind of friends promise not to do anything, but still do it? |
     |
| So am I the only one who thinks that this episode's title sounds kinda dirty? |

| It was a cute episode although I do agree about the part where Kotoko spaced out. That was just too ridiculous. The expressions are nicely done though, so funny. |

Iriya said: I love how she used Irie's tactics against him. Awesome. |

| Nice ep, ahh this anime will become one of the best animes this year thats for sure |
 |
| Irei's mum is the best character of the show, after Kotoko's ugly darkhaired friend =D He could have just NOT carried her to the nurses office =D |
   |
| nice slap~~ |
| i liked how he memorized her letter lmao kind of silly how kotoko spaced out during the relay, geez lol |
 |
| Well, this series is improving. It's still not that great but it's starting to be worth the effort of watching. I hope it continues to improve. |
 |
| I'm glad that Irie is the one chasing Kotoko now xD Oh you tsundere boy. |
     |
| Hm...this episode wasn't that good. Too many stupid "accidents" (Kotoko messes up the "stick delivery"), but the rest was nice (especially the slap^^) It's quite funny when Irie shows some emotions, the SDs about it are nice^^ |
| First epiosde, hated the guy, liked the girl Second epiosde, hated the guy (a little less) like the girl (a little less) This is episode.. Where do I begin?? There is just no way I can ever see these two as a serious couple. He's an elitist a-hole and shes cute but chronically and hopelessly in love with him to the point of EPIC stupidity.. I just can't take it. How could someone with such an inflated ego ever fall for someone with such a low self-esteem???? I am sorry but this ones headed to the "Dropped" section for me... I tried.. I hung in there for three episodes, but this goes well beyond my ability to comprehend stupidity. Sorry, done venting, *sigh* |

| This is a good anime, have been wanting to watch a proper shoujo anime instead of reading one.... i just hope this series doesn't disappoint me...I loved this episode because i normally tend to get frustrated when the hero or heroine seems too uninterested..... but things just spiced up :D |

It's nice to see a fellow INTJ in a series like this. He's the penultimate example of all our INTJ stereotypes in one person. |
| Funny. Kotoko proved as great heroine again, I loved how she slapped Irie. Also, in the end, she used his own tactic against him :) Can´t get enough of this show. And here i thought this was going to be some sappy bullshit. |
| the hate is already turning into love, it's only a matter of episodes now before they become a couple |
 |
| Awesome episode. This show withholds a lot of expectations from me. |
 |
| Well that was unexpected and cute at the same time! Really nice episode. |
