Mischievous Kiss: Love in Tokyo

Kiss in Tokyo

Welcome to tonight's "Kiss in Tokyo".

I, Tama, will host the show.

Please relax and enjoy the show for the next four hours.

In fact, I went to see a fortune-teller recently.

She told me there's a possibility of falling in love,

but that I'd lose the opportunity because I always close my heart.

This can't be true.

What I need is courage to tell him about my feelings.

It's true that you need courage for that.

Have you ever done such a thing before?

So tonight, I'd like to hear your stories.

Hey you, now's not the time for yawning.

From heart-warming episodes

to fun stories, I'll be looking forward to it!

Please go ahead and send them to me!

We have a great view of the Lyrid Meteor Shower tonight.

It is rare for them to be seen in Tokyo sky.

Lyrids...

You guys all know that you can make your desires come true if you make a wish upon

a shooting star, right?

So why don't you tell the shooting stars tonight

about your feelings for that special someone?

I wish I can tell Irie about my feelings for him.

Tounan High School

Morning!

Morning. -Good morning.

You're early today. -Yeah. See you!

Dear Naoki Irie,

nice to meet you.

I'm Kotoko Aihara from Class F.

You wouldn't know who I am,

but I know who you are.

As I walked the road to this place with my mom,

as I noticed those flowers on the cherry blossom trees,

no flower could tell our story...

For two years I've admired you and

your intellect that shone on the first day of school.

I don't dare expect to be in the same class with you.

So I hereby write a letter about my feelings for you.

From the first moment I saw you,

a special feeling started to burst

inside me as if I got hit by a shooting star.

Um...

Who are you?

I'm Kotoko Aihara, from Class F.

Would you read this?

I like...

you.

I don't need it.

My first love seemed to be shattered just like that.

No way.

But an unbelievable

miracle happens from now on.

Playful Kiss ~Love in Tokyo~

Episode 1 Love Along with a Shooting Star

Tounan High School

Hey! That's Aihara from Class F.

She told Irie that she likes him.

That Kotoko Aihara told Irie that she likes him.

It seems like...

She really doesn't know a thing.

Poor thing.

Leave me alone!

Kotoko! You told Irie about your feelings?

Jinko! Please be quiet.

How do you know about it?

You tried to give him a letter right in front of the school gate. That's attracts too much attention!

Everyone in this school knows.

I'm so embarrassed. -Why would you do that in front of the school gate?

It's like you are advertising them to know.

And to Irie...

Why would you do such reckless thing?

You know he won't accept it.

By any chance...

I thought he might like me

by any chance.

That would never happen. It's Naoki Irie!

As you already know, classes are divided by exam scores in this school.

Irie is the highest scorer in Class A, which has all kinds of top scorers.

Besides, he got the highest score in the last national exam.

You see, in life, lots of people know what to do.

But few people actually do what they know.

Knowing is not enough. You must take action.

There's a rumor that says his IQ is 200.

He's a genius and good looking. Besides, his father is a president of a company.

IQ 200, Height 178cm, Weight 60kg

He speaks English fluently.

He's an athlete as well. He's a super boy.

Compared to him, we are in Class F.

We are like the losers of this school.

We live in different world.

But I tried my best.

In my freshman, sophomore and junior year,

I did my best to be placed at Class A along with Naoki.

What's wrong?

Kotoko,

you know what alphabet is, right?

Of course.

Then, count how many letters are there between A and F.

A, B, C, D, E, F.

That's right. It would be a miracle for someone in F to be placed in A.

The possibility is lower than winning a lottery.

The possibility is lower than seeing snow in summer.

Lower than getting hit by a shooting star?

What? What did you say?

Never mind.

Anyhow, we live in different world from him.

That's true, but before I graduate,

I wanted to let him know of my feelings.

How naive.

Please accept this.

Naoki is good looking, but he's known for his grumpy personality.

He's not interested in girls at all. You can't even count how many girls have given him letters.

There was no rumor of him seeing a girl at all.

Hey! Kotoko!

She told Irie she likes him.

Shut up! Shush!

He's 18 years old!

There's no way he's not interested in girls. He's not normal.

That's right. I'm sure there's more normal guy in this world that would suit Kotoko.

Kotoko!

Hey! Kotoko!

Kotoko! Move!

Hey!

Is it true that you got rejected by Irie from Class A after telling him about your feelings?

Kin! Too close!

You liked such nerd?

I'm here by your side.

I'm not yours.

I baked this for you

this morning.

Excuse me.

Open it!

Kin's Takoyaki.

Hurry.

Thank you!

So delicious.

Hey, hey, you need to spice it up.

You are really quick at changing your mood.

Well, Kin's good at cooking at least.

What do you mean "at least"?

No one's heart can compare to my heart for Kotoko.

Even if it were someone from Class A or a genius, mine's much better!

How dare he rejects Kotoko?

I'll take that as a challenge from him.

I'm sure he thinks he's something.

It's all right.

Like all of you say, I was too reckless.

Someone who wouldn't even read a letter is not good, right?

I...

I guess I'm not good at choosing guys.

So it's all right. I'm giving up.

Kotoko.

At this moment?

Well that's... I stayed overnight.

I was worried if I misspelled words, he would think I'm stupid.

I even looked up the kanji letters of my own name.

Ai

Hara

Koto

Ko

How stupid.

I was nervous.

I even skipped breakfast this morning.

So Kin, thank you.

I think I'll be able to survive morning classes with this.

You look the prettiest when you smile.

I can cook you as much as you want,

so cheer up.

Tasty!

You guys are eating too much!

You guys are cute.

Let's sprinkle it as well. -Of course Kotoko is the cutest.

Kotoko, sorry! Teacher called us.

It's all right. I didn't even wait for a long time.

Let's go.

So is your new house all built?

Yes. We are moving in on Sunday.

Finally your own house!

Right? It will cheer me up.

That's right. They say your luck changes according to a place you live.

I hope so.

I'd like to believe it that way.

You believe so.

I believe so.

I'll go help.

Thank you.

So fun!

Wow, that's huge. -Here!

I brought them.

Daddy!

Work properly, for the sake of Kotoko.

Good morning!

Everyone!

Thank you for coming.

Father!

I will do anything for Kotoko.

I'm Kinnosuke Ikezawa.

I'm Kintaro. -I'm Dojo.
