She finally gathers to courage to write him a love confession letter but he flatly refuses to even accept or let alone read it stating that he doesn’t like "stupid" girls. stupid, but cute girl Kotoko has fallen in love and secretly pined for school idol and uber smart Naoki Irie. The plot for Itazura na Kiss is no different than your standard shoujo romance. While at first glance, Itazura na Kiss may not seem to be any different (though with the relieving lack of bishies) it evolved before my very eyes into the most heartwarming romance I have seen to date.

First it is dominated by bishounen love interests who often look more like girls and usually have aloof or abrasive personalities that make you wonder why the heroine fell in love with them in the first place. Shoujo romance can be a bit of an annoying genre for me.
