This beloved classic title has endured the test of time. With two live-action dramas and now an anime, it is definitely a must read shoujo title. While the artwork is not incredibly good, the story more than makes up for it. It's a farily long series which was never completed due to the sudden death of the mangaka. The anime series hopes to conclude with the original intended ending. Kotoko and Irie's challenges with each other are always fun and even suspenseful as the reader tries to anticipate what new behavior Irie's going to show Kotoko as their relationship blossoms. Hilarious supporting characters make this titlethoroughly enjoyable. I highly recommend it for those who love romantic comedy shoujos.
