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 setup: 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.

Along the way, 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?

In a comedy series like this, 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. This one is best suited to viewers who want something light between heavier series. With 25 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with TMS Entertainment, which means the visual identity of ItaKiss follows that studio's craft. The comedy focus matters here: timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Its 6.9/10 score suggests opinions are split, so it suits viewers who already like the genre. On the casting side, Nana Mizuki voicing Kotoko Aihara gives the lead role a recognizable voice. Released in 2008, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
