The following is the list of episodes from the anime adaptation of the manga series Itazura na Kiss. The anime adaptation is distinct from the manga itself. It is revealed that the intended finale of the manga by the late author Kaoru Tada will be conceptualized in the anime for the first time with plot details provided by her husband.[1]
The anime contains 25 episodes. The episodes are directed by Osamu Yamazaki and produced by TMS Entertainment. The episodes started airing on April 4, 2008, on TBS. Subsequently, Sun TV began airing the episodes from April 15, 2008, and Chubu-Nippon Broadcasting Co., Ltd on April 9, 2008.
