Summary:
In this romantic comedy story, a high school girl named Kotoko Aihara finally tells a fellow senior named Naoki that she has loved him from afar since she saw him on their first day of high school. However, Naoki, a hottie "super-ikemen" (handsome male) who is smart and good at sports, rejects her offhand. Fate intervenes when a mild earthquake ruins Kotoko's family house. While the house gets rebuilt, Kotoko and her dad stay at the home of her dad's childhood bestfriend...whose son is Naoki. Naoki eventually falls for Kotoko and starts to have romantic, protective feelings for her.
Own opinion:
Itazura is a very heart warming anime. Its a very romantic show specially it started with a heartbreak and end up with a happy ending. Maybe Katoko has the love story every girl wants. This show had many live action adaptation; korean, taiwanese, and japanese. But for me love in tokyo is the best of all (its the japanese). If you guys want an anime that started in highschool and ended in adulthood i think this is your show. Itazura shows us the journey of two people in their happy ending.
