Hmm, some doctor Naoki's gonna be. He doesn't even know what it might mean when the woman he just made love to feels queasy, has a slight fever and is late for her period.

Other than that, pretty average episode.

Chris is so cute :) Is it me, or is her accent changing, sounding more like Kin-chan? ^_^; I love the sweater she knit, so adorably tacky :) She is also cute in her restaurant uniform. Go Chris!

Irie was hot in his business suit, sitting in the waiting room at the Doctor's office, lol :) Looking all serious and impatient and irritated! Heh, the other mothers staring at him XD Cute episode.

Nope, not your imagination. I was repeating what Kin-chan said the last episode, shouting at my monitor "enough with you English-Kansai accent!" It's hard enough with Kin-chan as it is.

"Nipponjin ni naritakata," "sigh" stupid gaijin. All weaboos should watch this video and rethink their Happyland view of that country.

hes not gonna be that kind of doctor you know, and his classes probably havent coverered that yet either. gah just nine episodes left.

hmm kansai accents are kind of interesting. although foreigners speaking in kansai accent is probably hard for the ears.

That seems a bit unfair. The "late period" thing didn't come up until the old lady started drilling Kotoko on the situation, so Naoki had no idea about that part. To the other two, there are only about ten million (exaggeration) different causes for queasy feelings/slight fever combo. He really had no reason to believe it was anything special - and not jumping to conclusions without properly checking everything is a sign of a -good- doctor, really. :|

okay....

Chris X Kinnosuke was corny as. Quite unbearable to watch (esp for Kansai X English accent) =~=

Of course, the end makes up for it, so I didn't do too bad


Once again, Itazura na Kiss is running on thin ice.

Forget him, what about her? A missed period should be like a loud alarm blaring in the ear of any sexually active woman. Even as dense as Kotoko is, even she should have some sort of clue as to what that could potentially mean. How do you pass a nursing exam, and not be able to spot those symptoms anyways? At least they broached the subject, which says to me that's where we'll end up before it's all over. A sterling example of foreshadowing, right there.

It wasn't 'missed,' just 'late.' Late periods can happen without the woman having to be pregnant. Just being late is hardly a screeching alarm. Why do you people keep putting reasons they should have but didn't notice that don't exist here? :|

exactly. and how exactly would he even know that she is late with her period. most guys don't typically monitor their wife's cycle nor really want to know about it.

otherwise the episode was good, glad to see that she made it into nursing school and got that date. im sorry but chris' accent just makes me want to rip out my ear drums. her voice is just really annoying. almost as annoying as kotoko's fat friend.

I've actually been there and the people were very friendly and welcoming to me. With every effort I made to speak the language on a conversational level, they were very encouraging. I'm sure I was butchering their language but they still gave me much praise for my attempts as I praised them on their attempts to return responses in English. Maybe it was because I'm white, but I still at no time felt that I was unwelcome to the country as a whole.

As it is, there are people everywhere that will be anti-foreigner no matter where you go. To be honest, I felt more unwelcome in the United States than I did Japan.

He did jump to the conclusion that her symptoms were not a big deal, and by not asking her about her period he didn't check everything. Although he was smart enough to consult a professional before passing out the cigars, unlike everyone else.

Well, Naoki is supposed to be the smart one, so that's why I was so hard on him ;)

But yeah, you may be right about the foreshadowing. I haven't read the manga but that would be a fitting end.

What? You never experienced the "Gaijin Perimeter" whenever you get on a train?

All right, all right, that post was made somewhat in jest. Most of those signs were obviously of places that don't necessarily have any invidious hatred of foreigners, but simply have no way of dealing with them, especially those that can't read the sign that says "Not Allowed: Foreigners, Drunkards, And Those Associated With Violent Gangs."

Actually, on second thought, maybe that one place does actuallly hate foreigners.

This series is amazing. It is simply just pure romance, there is nothing more to say about it. It sends out such a great message to its audience, which is that no matter the situation you just have to keep trying. You're the person who lets you wishes come true. Each episode just represents that more and more to me. I definitely give the series a "tip of my hat" ;)

Chris's accent makes me laugh ^^; strange combination of english-kansai makes things funny.

Irie/Kotoko parts were so cute >0<
I'm glad Kotoko was not pregnant though :P That would be moving things too fast... well not faster than how they started dating/ got married in a single episode...

The manga spans something like 10 years over 23 volumes... so we're kind of going through at a pretty fast pace ^^

I enjoyed it :) The parts with Irie in it were the best.

Interesting episode, although I preferred the first half of the series where Kotoko was trying to win over Irie. For me, the series is kind of going downhill. It was a good episode, but not as good as the previous ones. =\

Naoki didn't know Kotoko was late for her period, she never told him.

Anyways, the fangirl in me squealed again. This is the only anime to have made me done so, and thats every episode since the wedding. There's been other anime that have gotten me on the verge, but never got there.

Yeah, she could easily be late because she's now sexually active. ^.~ Besides, out of all my friends who've been pregnant, not one of them had a fever. The moment Naoki's mom squeeled that Kotoko was pregnant I thought, "No, she's not." I wanted her to be but I knew she wasn't. @.@

I don't like the whole Kin/Chris pairing. It was so predictable. When Kotoko and Kin were sitting there disappointed, I was hoping Chris had finally left, but then of course, she showed up. Boo.

I knew that once Naoki's mom made a big deal about Kotoko being pregnant that she wouldn't be. They all jumped the gun on that one. You should always see a doctor before you throw a celebration.

Actually, I spoke a little with famous Japanese singers (Hironoshi Kitadani, Hironobu Kageyama and Masaaki Endoh from JAM Project) and they were really surprised that I could speak hahaha xD They were like "Whoa, sugoi!" XDDDD (I lol'd at they reaction because it wasn't that amazing xD) But yeah, they were really amiable :D

Well, I like Kin x Chris :) Also, I was hoping that Kotoko was pregnant xD So yeah this was an average episode, but kinda fun nonetheless.

[Spoilers - Episode 13 & 16]

Wow, I knew I wasn't going to like any of the episodes after 13, but I didn't think it would be this soon before I found something else I had to bitch about publicly. What kind of message is this show trying to get across? At the end of episode 13 Kotoko was in these troughs of deep depression as she vowed to deny her love to anyone but Naoki and that because she couldn’t have him she would die an old maid carrying his picture with her to the grave. In essence, you can’t help who you’re in love with and you can’t change it, so if you can’t be with the one you love than you’re doomed to a wretched single life. Oh, but Kin-chan whose been pining over the same girl for five years should have no trouble falling in love again with someone else. In fact, the series kind of makes him out to be the bad guy for not immediately reciprocating Christine’s feelings. Don’t get me wrong, I like the Kin x Chris relationship. Actually, I like it a hell of a lot better than the Kotoko x Naoki focus of the series, I’m just pointing out the ridiculous double standard that the writers shat out and that everyone here is supporting wholeheartedly.

Other than that, nothing new. Naoki’s still an asshole, it just comes out in more subtle ways. I guess Kotoko better really enjoy that date of her’s because at this rate Naoki might not be taking her out again until she passes the national examination for registered nurses. And what’s with the pacing of this series? I like when a romance series expands on the ‘after they get together’ period (granted I like it better in a series where I give two shits about the frontline romance), but does this show have ADHD or what? They hook up and get married in the same episode, honeymoon the next episode, and then for this one a year passes by with like maybe 5 short clips to fill us in?

The girls in this show sure are gluttons for punishment. Kin basically rejected her in the most horrible way possible but for some reason she decides to come back, while to her knowledge he was completely not interested in her? lol ok.

Also, Naoki and Kotoko been married and his wife actually has the beg for a date? This story might had a few timeskips but they're relationship still pretty much feels like it's in the courtship stage and honestly I'm still not rooting for them at all.

Actually it's rather disappointing she's not actually pregnant, this would make the story even more complete! It's nice Chris still stayed and than Kinnosuke did managed to change her feeling. She even managed to pass!
