Itazura na Kiss: Buying Information

This page consist of information that would help you if you want to get some of the things that are associated with Itazurana Kiss be it manga or drama. Beside each image, you can find some of places where you can get the item that I recommend. If they are online, their links can be found on my links page.

This is of course the Japanese manga itself (1st one is the original one consisting of 23 volumes, the one below is the new version which is smaller but consisting only of 14 volumes). If you want to get them, try the local Japanese bookstore like Kinnokuniya. If you can't get them there, the next best thing is get them online. :)

Recommended places:
Yesasia.com
Jpqueen.com

I've dealt with both are they are fantastic to deal with. JPQueen sells the stuff either 2nd-hand or new. Yesasia on the other hand sells only new ones.

Possible title listings in online stores:
Mischievious Kiss
Playful Kiss
Naughty Kiss

Also try searching under Tada Kaoru.

This is the Chinese translated version. They are available from your local Chinese comic shops.

If you live in Melbourne, Australia, you can rent them from Comics World. This store is located on Swanston St and Box Hill. I don't have the exact addy for this store. You can also order it from them. Not sure if they still do this since I don't go there anymore. :P

If you live in Singapore, you can find it in all the Chinese comic shops I guess...:) The Kinokuniya in Ngee An City also sells it. :)

For online ordering, I recommend yesasia.com.

Possible title listings in online stores:
Mischievious Kiss
Playful Kiss
Naughty Kiss

For Non-Japanese / Non- Chinese readers

One of the FAQ that I get is whether the manga is available in English. Unfortunately no.

However, the Itazuara na Kiss mailing group owned by Alice/Sake-chan, had done some of the mangas in the form of scanlations.

You can join the group by going to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/itakiss

I know there are other scanlations out there, though I'm not too sure... :P

This is the artbook. I think it's only available in Japanese.

Jpqueen.com has the 2nd hand one although it's like a hit and miss. That is they only have it for a short while and occasionally only. So check their sites regularly to see if they have it.

Yesasia.com might have it too.

This is the Speed's album entitled Starting Over that has the song Steady from the drama. If you want to get them, YesAsia.com is the best place to go.
This is another of Speed's album entitled Moment that has the song Steady. I would recommend this CD as this is a compilation of Speed's best songs. ^_^ Again, YesAsia.com is the place to go....
This is one of the covers of the Itazurana Kiss VCDs. I know that there are many different covers and packaging out there (I've seen 4 different types of covers and packaging...). It all depends on the distributor. The content is the same though prices might range. As you can see, on the cover of this set, the Chinese title is displayed instead. But I have seen those with the Japanese title displayed. Also, the English title to the drama is "It Started With A Kiss" or "It Began With A Kiss"

If you live in Singapore, finding this drama was a breeze....:) Almost every shop that sells VCD used to sell it. Recently like all Japanese dramas, this drama is rare find in Singapore.

If you don't live in Singapore, try the video stores in the local Chinatown. If you live in Melbourne, Australia, you can rent the videos from Comic World or Kitty Gallery (located at Paramount Centre or Russell St).

If buying online, try yesasia.com. They might have it....

This is the OST for the Taiwanese drama. If you want to get it, YesAsia.com is the best place to go. Search for It Started With a Kiss.
This is the DVD for the Taiwanese drama. If you want to get it, YesAsia.com is the best place to go. Currently only up to 16 episodes are out (in 3 sets, 1-8, 9-18, 19-30 (end)).
This is the China Version of the VCDs for the Taiwanese drama. This one compiles all the episodes in 2 sets (1-20 and 21-35 (end)). Note that when it says 1-20 usually it's not that it's ahead, but it's just the show is shorter (eg. 45 min instead of 1 hour) per one time hence making more episodes. I would recommend buying this one instead compared to the one above as it's cheaper (1/2 price now at yesasia.com! ^^) and usually the quality is just as good.
This is the China Version of the DVDs for the Taiwanese drama. This one compiles all episodes (1-35 end) in one set. Get this one if you want to get the DVD as yesasia.com is having a 50% off promotion! From US$113 to US$41.99! ^^

Novel
Then....if you are a die-hard fan of the Taiwanese drama (or maybe you just love Itazura na Kiss) you can always get the fan goods ranging from novel, postcards and even notebooks from yesasia.com. I swear....there is more goods in related to the Taiwanese drama compared to the original manga or even the Japanese drama!
