This episode was funny~
Especially when Irie-kun's mom was trying to act like an evil step mother. xD
Plus when Irie-kun was getting mad at his mom;;


Now we finally now what went down at the villa in the other episode xD;;


I just had to put this because most people thought it was the little brother that did that to her. xP

Hah, nice episode.


And it's aMAzing how gaijins can pick up Japanese in a matter of days in the world of anime, while in the real world it takes more than a year of continuous study to be moderately adept at it.

1.5 years and I'm now qualified to start elementary school (JPLT Level 4). There must be some trick they're not telling us.

Well, the Defense Language Institute lists Japanese as a Category IV language which takes 64 weeks of 30-hours-per-week studying to learn

Just watched the Epi 13... EXCITED.... ha ha .

I took 2.5 yrs to learn japanese, but only able to talk simple japanese, and still not able to communicate well with japanese... you guys really fantastic.

I like Christ's English-Japanese conversation, it's really cute and funny.

Arrgghhhh they stopped this episode at the BEST part! Waaahhhh XD I have been waiting for that scene forever, lol :)

This was a good episode. Er, and it didn't look like kin-chan was trying to rape her, he was trying to hug her ^^; I like when Naoki was watching kotoko in the lunch room, and when he finally got hit with the clue-hammer when he overheard her friends talking about the proposal. This makes up fthe them cutting out the 'kotoko burns her leg while cooking' scene from the manga :)

i'm glad i lost the dvd i had of the drama of this or it'll spoil the whole anime and i didnt want that it spoiled the episodes on this so far but this episode was totally different..

but on Christine's defense (not that i'm being the bad guy) she was led on by irie too, and she looked sad going home and i also feel sorry for kin-chan also why does they guy that's not the lead who also likes the girl have to be ugly i mean in the drama he was an alrite lookin guy ?

Greatest Kiss

I don't like the new ending, what makes it even worse is that it replaced one of the better endings of the last season, Boo.

That aside, nice episode. I'm actually pleasantly suprised at how much this series entertains me, I can't wait for more.

i hope kotoko at least slaps irie for being the ass he is <.<
but i guess that wont happen :/
well, if he at least made up his mind or something, thats alright too i guess

and to the japanese learning guys above, so how many did you really study in those years?
because for me, i know that i was uberlazy in the 4 or whatever years since i started learning, and i guess you could be at a higher level than me in half a year if you really tried hard. i surely regret i didnt, which doesnt keep me from continuing to slack xD"
jlpt 3kyu here btw, maybe 2 this year

This was by far the best episode of this show so far. Each episode just keeps getting better and better! I loved the scene with the mom and the blonde girl... and the scene with Yuuki remembering the kiss under the tree (SO CUTE), the scene where irie got jealous hearing kin proposed, and i even loved the kin x kotoko moment.... it was too shoujo cliche NOT to love :P

I´ve been watching Itazura na kiss so far just for the sake of it without a lot of enthusiasm but this episode REALLY GOT ME. I was amazed, I loved it and even cried a bit :P. The conversation with the mother was AWESOME ahahhaha.

Oh, i've been studying japanese for a year now and I doubt that I am even capable of speaking with a 4 year old nihon jin :P .

I like how nonchalant he was. Yuuki sees him, and he just winks and says 'shhh', lol! Ahhh~ shoujo ftw.

I don't know if this is a completely new ED, or if it was a one time thing. The OP didn't change this ep, so I guess we'll have to see... I personally liked it -- minus the random rapping...

I have to say, I didn't really like Kinnosuke for most of the story up to this point. His character really rubbed me wrong - and as for the anime, his voice actor grated on my nerves... >:| But he did a fantastic job this episode. Kin's curse at the end was so heartfelt, my heart couldn't help but go out to him. Kotoko's friends are right - he must feel the same way that Kotoko feels, and that's something that always gets to me in the triangles of shoujo mangas... what happens to the third wheel? :(

In other news, Oba-sama is awesome! xD I LOVED how she slashed down Naoki, her own son, and then proceeded to say, "Well, it's all true, isn't it?" :P Haha.

Great ep. So of course I want more! ^^

OMG! I hate cliffhangers. DX
This was by far my favorite episode.
I wish Irie looked more desperate when he met Kotoko though (like in ISWAK) because it's always Kotoko who's trudging along it seems.

I want to see the next episode already.
And I love the new ED. When it first appeared in episode 11, I immediately fell in love and got it forthwith.

I personally liked the ending as well. ^_^ It was pretty cute, I wouldn't mind if it were the new ending for the season. There is a lot of sympathy towards Kin-chan, his characters gets kind of annoying sometimes, but one can't help but feel bad for him too. Compared to the manga, he was a bit more forceful when trying to kiss Kotoko, I don't recall it being that way in the manga at all. Perhaps this way one can see his desperation for Kotoko's acceptance more clearly, which makes it more dramatic. About that third wheel, not to worry, if its takes a similar route as the manga (in regards to Kin-chan) he'll be ok! Yay Kin-Chan!!

>_> Don't read the spoiler if you haven't read the manga, it would ruin it... that is if the animators follow the manga. :)



All in all! YAY!!! I loved this episode; have been waiting for it since the beginning of the anime, and all the manga volumes I've tried to read (sadly the majority of them are raws... its hard, I've needed manga summaries to help) Oba-sama did a wonderful role as well, the conflict between Irie and her was excellent xD

:) If the animators work it out right, its going to get even better! Trust me ;D

And at last! The kiss is explained! :P

I feel sorry for Kin-chan but you just know they will fix it for Kin in the end, since he is such a likeable character. If he was gonna end up alone and miserable then they would have made him look much worse.

Wow, I thought I was the only one on the planet that was actually following this series! I'm glad I stumbled on this website the other day!

I'm sure this has been brought up a million times before, but does anyone notice the incredible similarities to this series and Marmalade Boy, minus the massive cast. It's giving me all kinds of nostalgia.

Ah, how I do love Naoki's mom. She's just made of pure WIN.

I really loved this episode. It's definitely one of my favorites. Even though I feel terribly sorry for Kin-chan, I can't wait to see what happens between Kotoko and Naoki next.

I rather like the new ED. The rapping threw me off for a minute, but it was still pretty good.

Okay, let me speak what's been through my mind ever since episode 12.

So, it's always like this, huh. Girls will most likely ditch the better guy for the better-looking guy. On that side, I actually feel bad for Kin-chan, because I actually do feel like he's honest and he's liked her for a long time, and she doesn't have eyes for him because Irie's smarter and more handsome. That really sucks, and reality sucks just like that.

However, Kin-chan is far too clingy and his actions just get on my nerves. Take the forceful "I'll make you forget him!" from this episode. Just no, man. Simply no.

Even though Irie is a bastard and has a bunch of flaws, I guess once you've admitted to yourself you've fallen in love, it's not a matter of liking the person for their traits, but simply liking the person for who they are. Since Kotoko's been living with Irie for some time now, she totally knows him beyond his bad personality, and it's completely understandable for her to not be able to move on, and try to get a stable relationship with a guy that means only good.

So, even though I actually would love to root for Kin-chan, I end up rooting for Irie. Because, after all, I'm also a girl and get where Kotoko's coming from.

New ED is absolutely lovely <3

ya I agree, Kin-chan means well but sometimes gets carried away. I think if Kotoko wasn't living with Irie, Kin would have had a better chance of hooking up with her. However since she does live with Irie she's grown far more attached not just to Irie but also to his family so it only makes sense that she would go with who she knows better and feels more comfortable around.

Poor Kin-chan, I can only hope he hooks up with Chris lol. She seems to show some kind of affection towards him or maybe its just over enthusiasm.
