About ItaKiss

ItaKiss (イタズラなKiss) blends comedy and romance by TMS Entertainment (2008). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. The premise: Ever since she entered high school, Kotoko Aihara wanted to be in the same class as Naoki Irie. The only problem is that Irie is the smartest learner in school in contrast to Kotoko being one of the dumbest.

Further in, now in her 3rd year of high school, she still isn't there. However, one day her home gets destroyed and the only place left to go to is Irie's home. Now that she lives close to him, will their relationship be the same, or will it become greater than it is?

As a comedy title, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Nana Mizuki as Kotoko Aihara and Daisuke Hirakawa as Naoki Irie. If you count yourself among viewers who want something light between heavier series, put it on your list. With 25 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
