    The most classic version!

    I watch it every years. The 1996 version is really a masterpiece in my heart. Takashi Kashiwabara (NAOKI)is really handsome in the universe here. The heroine Aiko Sato is also the most thinking of all KOTOKO. I love the first edition very much.

    A warm-heart family TV shows. Love and share love to your family members, your schoolmates, your teachers

    The bond between the characters are close and strong enough that will touch your heart.

    Kotoko is a charming, straightforward and bright girl with spontanous enthusiam. She's not stupid because she acts clumsy and noisy, she got well educated by a charming father. Beside, her coherent speeches are persuadable, on time, not to mention her exaggeration like a noisy kid since she recognized she's loved by everyone.

    Sometime I think she deserves to be with someone care for her truly, with respectul love, not a hesistant acting-cool guy. Her only silliness is she kept her first image of Naoki with her growing up, but later got hurt by his irritating words. People would love to make friend with someone like Kotoko than a smart but irritated guy.

    Naoki, you are indeed super lucky to get favored by her 😂😂

    Enjoyable

    I enjoyed this comedy. The character of Kotoko is one, i wouldn't be surprised if some people found her annoying. But I loved her energy. Episode 8 is probably the best and is very funny.
