Sounds interesting. I may have to give this series a go. Nicely written review too. Thanks!

When I first read about the tragic death of the author, I was led to believe that the way the story was written, the pair never got together. But, since that spoiler[does] in fact happen, I'm not sure what's left for the story. It's sorta like what happened with Moonlighting. But I will at least give the next volume a shot and hope it can maintain the momentum of the previous arcs, and not morph into some Lucy-esque sitcom.

I was worried about that too. Apparently the (unlicensed, grr) anime ends it as she was planning to, with spoiler[the birth of their daughter], and the manga doesn't have an abrupt stop - it just sort of ends. I admit to some worry about the series turning sitcom-esque, but if it continues with Kotoko's decision to have a life outside of being married, it may be just fine. It's definitely still good through this volume. |

This volume has the moment that for me really defines why this series is great: it actually shows life beyond the wedding. And sure, it can get sitcomy but no more than the earlier stuff (assuming that the anime was faithful in its adaptation ... I must admit, I have not yet picked up the manga though I plan to, despite it being sadly unfinished). It's really refreshing to see a shoujo series acknowledge that the story is doesn't actually end when the girl gets the guy, it's really just the beginning.

I loved this volume; the wedding made me cry! But my absolute favorite scene was Naoki asking Kotoko's dad for her hand in marriage, the dialogue was so sweet.
I really respect Tada for showing that even though Naoki and Kotoko have married, their dynamic hasn't really changed much. Itazura na Kiss does a good job in showing that marriage doesn't automatically mean you'll have a 'happily ever after' - you have to actually work for it. |
