As a person who has seen all versions of Itazura na Kiss, this one did not disappoint. I loved it from beginning to end. It follows the Manga so closely, as I expected they would. I love the relationship of Kotoko and her father in this version so much. The fact that Kin-chan may not be book smart, they let him be people smart, and teach Naoki things about life, was one of my favorite parts. I am waiting for the final episode patiently. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!!!!
