So i watched this after the korean and chinese version. My favorite is the chinese one. the good thing with itazura is that its fast and doesnt have many kotoko annoying scenes. The best friends are loud as.... and the expressions on kotokos face are priceless. Irie kun is decent looking as well as kin chan. Good story and acting but not great. It doesn't extend the roles and abilities of irie kun as it should and they skipped some scenes that are in the other versions. I love to see japanese cuisine and culture.
