Itazura na Kiss

Aired: 2008

An anime adaptation of Kaoru Tada's beloved shojo manga by TMS Entertainment. Kotoko Aihara, a cheerful but academically struggling high school girl, falls head over heels for the school's top genius Naoki Irie, only to be flatly rejected when she confesses her feelings. A twist of fate strikes when an earthquake destroys her new home, forcing her family to move in with the Irie household. The 25-episode series follows their tumultuous relationship from high school through university to marriage. Notably, the anime fulfills the late author Kaoru Tada's vision, completing the unfinished manga based on notes and plot outlines she left behind. Aired on CBC/TBS. (C)Kaoru Tada/Cork/TMS
