| 3:30am | Itazura na Kiss 19: Kotoko gets mad… |  | | | Yeah Naoki isn’t still supposed to be sucking. Ah yes so finally the Keita vs Naoki arc ends with a Kotoko victory, Naoki is so very lucky to have her even if he doesn’t deserve her in the first place. I really sympathized with Kotoko this time since she felt things had just gone back to the... | | |
| 3:10am | Itazura na Kiss 18: Even Machiko thinks Keita is great… |  | | | Yeah, because Keita is into stupid girls and not necrophiliacs Another week another episode of Itazura to watch, sorry for the lateness of this post but school has been kicking my ass and I have to work roughly 12 hours a day for Uncle Sam… (Incidentally writing an InK post is a great way relax after... | | |
| 4:42am | Itazura na Kiss: Guess Who’s Jealous Now! | | | | That’s right–Irie! This has been a hilarious rollercoaster of an evening–first I wrestle with my sound card drivers for entirely too long only to discover that the problem that was bugging me was that my headphones were plugged in, and then, to chill out and relax and forget that... | | |
| 5:19pm | Weekly Round-Up: August 15th | | | | Sadly no- that’s why I dropped the series.Reviewed this week: Hidamari Sketch x365 5-6, Itazura na Kiss 18, Koihime Musou 5, Kyouran Kazoku Nikki 13, Nabari no Ou 19, Natsume Yuujinchou 6, Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu 5, Ryoko’s Case File 5, Slayers Revolution 6, Someday’s Dreamers ~Summer Skies~... | | |
| 2:42am | Lost my Magic: Why I suddenly went missing from ItaKiss and the shoujo scene | | | | As you may have noticed, I’ve been on a bit of a blogging break of late, slowing the routine down to a weekly ritual chock-ful of filler. If I were more pessimistic I would chalk this up to burnout (or to Burnout, which is a fantastic visceral thrill), but really, the fact of the matter is that... | | |
| 9:46pm | Itazura na Kiss - Episode 18 | | | | Considering that Kotoko and Naoki got married about half a dozen episodes ago, it seems a little late to be introducing a full-on love triangle to proceedings, but that's exactly what has happened here.As ever, Kotoko is completely useless at being a nurse, and Naoki is similarly useless at being anything... | | |
| 6:15am | The battle for Kotoko | | | | As easy as it is to dislike Keita, it’s much easier to be thoroughly frustrated with Naoki’s unrelentingly cold attitude towards his wife. When Kotoko started her nursing program and Keita was introduced, I wasn’t too keen on his pushy and rough attitude. Consequently, that attitude... | | |

| 11:22pm | Hosaka Award – OMG Your Dead Edition! | | | | What is this? Are we handing out two Hosaka awards within a span of one month? What is this, March of something? Take them while you can, you never know when the river will run dry. We guess the lack of Hosaka awards over the past couple of months has more to do with a lack of source material. Of... | | |
| 4:44am | Itazura na Kiss - 16 |  | | | Chris tries to win Kin over with the help of Kotoko. Impressions:This episode was alright, however it seemed like it was trying to mix two stories when it should have just focused on one. Most of the stuff they dealt with involving Irie and Kotoko weren’t that much, or turned out not to be much; however... | | |
| 8:07pm | Itazura na Kiss - 18 |  | | | Until I figure out the deal with Itazura na Kiss and its airing/raw posting schedule, I’m just gonna play it by ear at this point. So as usual Naoki is jealous that Keita and Kotoko spend a lot of time together and he begins to treat Kotoko back like he did in high school. On the other hand,... | | |
| 7:38am | Itazura na Kiss 17: It’s you’re turn Naoki… |  | | | Indeed. Kotoko you ready to kick some ass? Great war face by the way. Well with the start of this new arc we finally have a challenger that will make Naoki squirm. Kamogari Keita has stepped up to make Naoki feel the suffering that Kotoko felt when she was chasing his sorry ass. I like that! While technically... | | |
| 10:15pm | Itazura na Kiss - Episode 17 | | | | Episode seventeen of Itazura na Kiss introduces us to the real beginning of Kotoko's nurse training, and thus also introduces us to a handful of new characters and whaddya know, they almost all turn out to be nasty, self-centred pieces of work. Is there some kind of unwritten law about this series... | | |
| 11:19pm | Itazura na Kiss - 17 |  | | | For some reason I missed this last week because I was under the impression that there was some kind of a baseball game which is why the raw didn’t show up on Thursday. I have a feeling this is gonna be the same way this week so I’ll check for 18 tomorrow and Saturday to see if perhaps I... | | |
| 3:00pm | Itazura na Kiss - 15 |  | | | Kotoko and Irie go on their honeymoon together, but aren’t able to spend much time alone. Impressions:I thought this episode was great. I was actually surprised they managed to balance so well showing Naoki being distant with Kotoko while at the same time not making him back into some jerk. It’ll... | | |
