A very interesting romance anime.  I've never seen one quiet like it before.  It follows the characters for over a decade.  However, I think it would have been better if they had just stopped it at episode 14.

This is an okay anime, but I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for an amazing romance story or something. I liked the beginning, in fact, I believe I should have stopped after they --- -------. In my opinion, if they had stopped after the ------- episode, I would've enjoyed it a lot more. (I didn't want to spoil, so I used dashes in place of the words.)
In other words, if I had stopped after episode 14 or 15, it would have been more enjoyable.

The main love interest is a huge dick and the protagonist has zero self respect for herself. If you like facepalming and getting angry at characters you will love this show.

Would you just back down after being told no? To be honest, very few anime make me want to actually write a review about them. This is one of the rare exceptions. I have never seen such a beautiful, but also realistic story. However, there was a myriad of things beautiful about the anime outside of the story.The score for this anime was beautiful, not as much as one would had liked, but they did a very good job with this. The art style also stuck true to the manga written back in 1991, which I also appreciate. However, enough of that, let's get on to why I believe this may be one of the greatest romance anime's of all time.When one watches an anime, usually it is the same thing over and over. You see the guy chasing the girl, and the girl chasing the guy, and at the very end they share an intimate moment and the anime will end. What happens to the couple after? Do they stay together? Get married? Or end up in a situation that end unfortunately? What is left for the viewer? Itazura na Kiss shows exactly what the viewer wants to see. It shows not only Kotoko's attempt to persevere, but also the unlikely relationship between the two. It boldly does something that a lot of anime does not do and that's actually show the after affect of the couple. And I believe this is done beautiful. Itazura na Kiss makes you feel what the other character is feeling, makes you think what the other character is thinking. I didn't expect much going into this, I thought it would be just another girl chasing a guy and being annoying like a plethora of anime leads are. This is easily one of the most enjoyable anime's I have watched to date. Each anime has it's flaws, no doubt about it. However, story wise, it was simply perfect. You didn't see a character automatically shift from being nefarious to being a perfect character. That doesn't happen here, Kotoko and Irei stay true to themselves throughout the whole anime and that's what is most enjoyable about it. Overall, a 9/10. If you are into romance anime or simply want to take a break from your preferred genre like I did, this is a perfect anime to watch and just feel happy about while watching it.

Although story is plain and little bit cheesy at times, I was cringing the whole time for the female protagonist is textbook example what any self-respecting woman should not do or think EVER. I really do not declare myself as feminist but her character was tempting me to grab a sign and go protest somewhere. As for the male lead...I'm trying to find synonym for the word "douche-bag" but somehow it fits perfectly.

To summarize and this is me trying to be as much objective as possible, it is worth watching if you are looking for typical love story anime, with satisfying ending and relaxing plot.
