Where it came from
ItaKiss, or Itazura na Kiss, was created by the mangaka Tada Kaoru and began its serialization in the magazine Margaret in 1990. The story follows the persistent Kotoko Aihara as she pursues the brilliant but aloof Naoki Irie after an earthquake destroys her home. It was born out of the shojo manga traditions of the era, focusing heavily on romantic comedy tropes and character development that resonated deeply with readers seeking relatable, earnest portrayals of young love.
Tada Kaoru’s design and artistic style emphasized expressive character reactions, which helped anchor the series as a beloved staple of the genre. Although the original manga was left unfinished due to the sudden passing of the author in 1999, the narrative’s popularity was so enduring that it inspired multiple international live-action adaptations, anime series, and dramas, cementing its status as one of the most significant works in contemporary shojo literature.
