Having just come off Itazura na Kiss, Skip Beat is like a 180° from the antics of Kotoko wooing Irie, except it’s more like a [...] Wed, 12 Nov 2008 03:47:51 -0000 http://animegeijitsu.wordpress.com/2008/11/11/skip-beat-no-skipping-but-lots-of-beating/ CLARIFICATION: Confusion in the post, not in the show. I am recording any stray thoughts I have as I progress through the final five episodes of Itazura na Kiss, which I have lamentably procrastinated watching until now.

Summary; - Kotoko is indeed pregnant, to no ones surprise. - Kotoko is misled by Motoki and the gang into believing Irie’s kindness to her is a sign of indifelity. - Obviously this isn’t [...] Tue, 07 Oct 2008 15:10:49 -0000 http://animeunderthesun.wordpress.com/2008/10/07/itazura-na-kiss-23-24/ Naoki must perform his first surgery by himself to save Matsumoto and Kotoko goes into labor.
