Itazura na Kiss - Episode 11

One of the problems of episodic 'Blogging is that sometimes there's just nothing to say that hasn't been said before already, and Itazura no Kiss is really proving to be one of those series. We're up to episode eleven now, but still nothing much has happened to suggest that Kotoko and Naoki even should get together, let alone that they will.

Indeed, the only joy Kokoto gets from the whole affair is a cliched dream sequence, while for the rest of the episode Naoki is acting as cold as ever, although at least he isn't being quite such a patronising asshole in recent episodes. The only real glimmer of any change in their relationship is Naoki's decision to become a doctor, something that Kotoko suggested to him last episode, although this never really gets played on within this episode for some reason.


Speaking of which, it's probably a good job that Naoki has chosen that career path, as this series is fast resembling an episode of Holby City with regard to the amount of medical emergencies and hospitalisations on show. Living with a family containing two an arrogant asshole can clearly seriously damage your health, another reason why the ever-wonderful Kotoko (who continues to single-handedly carry this series) should give the object of her affections a wide berth.

It's almost become a catchphrase to wonder if something will happen to cement Naoki and Kotoko's relationship in the next episode, but something had better happen soon, I'm not sure how many episodes of wishing death on... well, pretty much everyone in this series apart from Kotoko I can take.
