![]() There are several fundamental problems that exist within ItaKiss, the first of which being what never ceases to piss me off whenever I think about this manga: the foundation of the romance between Naoki and Kotoko. As time goes on, they gradually warm up to one another and blah blah blah, you already know the drill. Despite the fact that Naoki has made it quite evident that he does not want anything to do with Kotoko, she keeps on trying to win his heart and as fate would have it, Kotoko and Naoki end up living together in the same house after a freak accident occurs because Naoki's father is a dear friend of Kotoko's and he offered them a place to stay. She just so happens to have the hots for Naoki Irie, the most handsome (hah!) and smartest guy in school. ![]() ![]() Kotoko Aihara is part of Class F, the class where all the dumbest students in school are located. Do keep in mind that all of the good there is to be found in the manga isn't anywhere near enough to excuse At the same time, ItaKiss is one of the few mangas that actually goes well beyond the scope of high school and it's not like there isn't anything good about it either. Don't get me wrong: ItaKiss is irredeemably bad and is the very piece of crap that started the whole "abusive male/idiotic female" trope that I so viscerally despise in shojo romances. ![]() you know, I just can't work up the visceral hatred that I once had for this series.
