About the author
Kaoru Tada
188 books76 followersTada made her debut in 1977, when still a high school student, on Shueisha's "Deluxe Margaret" magazine. Tada's stories belong to the shōjo genre of manga and feature love stories centred around young female characters and their love interests. The storylines include comedic moments and are characterised by essential and sharp drawings. Some of Tada's most popular works are Ai Shite Knight, Itazura na Kiss and Kimi no na wa Debora.
Ai Shite Knight portrays the Japanese rock music scene of the early 1980s. The anime series based on Ai Shite Knight was the first ever to feature original songs performed within the episodes. Another of Tada's works, Miihaa Paradise is also set in the rock 'n' roll world.
Itazura na Kiss (Mischievous Kiss) - begun in 1991 and never completed - was by far Tada's most successful work in Japan. It tells the love story between Kotoko and Naoki from high school until after their marriage. The series inspired also an illustrated art book and two novels written by Nori Harata and published in Shueisha's "Cobalt" series. In 1996 a live action Japanese TV series based on Itazura na Kiss was also produced, starring Aiko Satō as Kotoko and Takashi Kashiwabara as Naoki. In 2005, the series was adapted into a Taiwanese drama under the name of It Started With a Kiss and in 2008 an anime was also released.
Kaoru Tada died in 1999 of a cerebral hemorrhage. While moving to a new residence, she hit her head on a marble table and fell into a coma. Three weeks later, she died. She was 38.

Itazura na Kiss vol. 10 (Itazura Na Kiss #10), Kaoru Tada

It is an incredibly pity that this story will never see its end.
I enjoyed it very much, for the "freshness" of its drawings and the humor of the story, although it is quite absurd.
I didn't mind also the characters, who in their incredible limitations, try always to improve or, sometimes, appear to be quite different from what one might think.
Maybe it is not the most realistic shojo ever written, but it always gives hope that in love wins who has tenacity and never gives up.

As always I absolutely love this series, great comedy, sweet angst and a very enjoyable cast of characters! I haven't picked up the series in a while but I think I'm ready to revisit and maybe even finish it! Highly recommend this!

I literally do not care for any of the flaws in this book. Irie Naoki, please marry me.

Hồi xưa coi phim do Đài chuyển thể phần 2 làm dở mà còn chế ra đủ thứ, giờ đọc nguyên tác mới thấy nó hay ho như vầy, không bị lỗi thời luôn.

I just absolutely loved this volume of Itazura Na Kiss! It's actually the first anime that I properly watched, a long time ago, and I couldn't get enough of it, so I tried reading the manga. Little did I know, I'd enjoy it even more than the amazing anime! And this volume has been sitting in it's plastic covering in my book shelf for a long while -as I've been saving it for the perfect time to read- until I broke down and picked it up today! And I was reminded of the amazing characters, the hilarious plot lines, that make me shake with laughter, and the cute heart warming moments, and all these things are just perfected with the art and style of the books. The characters' expressions are just priceless, and the way everything is drawn is so on point, I just love the way all the characters look, the setting, the speech bubbles, and I just really loved the outfits! Although I usually cringe when I see 90's style clothing

I absolutely loved this series! I found the dynamics of having two people in such close proximity to one another but resisting each other all the while quite appealing. Even though I did not really like the character of Aihara I did really enjoy her love/hate relationship with Irie and their conflicting personalities.

And here I am, all caught up with the series until the next release in a few months. This series is a sweet one, and you can't help but love endearing Kotoko.
