He's the smartest kid in their class and the smartest student in Japan.
The character of Noaki is a genius, popular, and handsome. There are three significant episodes in this anime: Episode 7 "Spiteful Kiss, Episode 14 "Greatest Kiss", and Episode 19 "Crazy For You" because each episode marks a turning point in their relationship. Irie plays as a plot device constantly pushing the story forward dealing with a stubborn son Noaki and an insecure Kotoko. Irie who is Noaki's meddling mom and plays matchmaker always encouraging his son to get together with Kotoko to his irritation and Kin who is determine to make something out of himself in the world to prove himself worthy of marrying Kotoko one day. The anime covers about fifteen years of their lives from high school, college, marriage, and parenthood within 25 episodes starting from age seventeen to their early thirties. From that moment on drama and crazy antics begin on Kotoko's quest to win to Noaki's affection. She realizes she's now living in the home of her high school crush Noaki, his parents, and his genius nine-year-old little brother Yuuki. Irie and Kotoko thinks it's a mere coincidence that he shares the same last name Irie as Noaki and grows nervous when her father tells her his eldest son was her age and attended the same school as her.
Her father's high school friend feels sorry for their misfortune and invites them to live with his family at their home in an affluent part of Tokyo. A 2.0 earthquake hits Japan and their house is destroyed because her father had it built with cheap material. Later on, she's having dinner with her father in their new home. Noaki says he doesn't date stupid girl and laughs when Kotoko admits she's stupid when trying to defend herself against his insult. One of her friends Kin, who also has loved Kotoko for years in a one-side love too, calls out Noaki for rejecting her and not accepting her letter. When she presents the letter to him at school, he immediately rejects her letter in front of the entire school. The plot for this beautiful, well drawn anime is seventeen year old high school senior Kotoko Aihara finally muster up the courage to write a love letter to tell her long time high school crush Naoki Irie she loves him. It seemed familiar to me because years ago I read a well-written Sailor Moon fanfic called It Started with A Photo but I had no idea it was based off of this anime. It ended up binge watching all 25 episodes in two days. Eleven years after this anime originally premiered, I finally watched it for the first time two days ago on Tubi TV and I absolutely fell in love with it.
