Itazura na Kiss (lit. mischiveous kiss)

I found a good summary from http://www.suki-desu.com/itazuranakiss/story.html

"I don't want it."
Kotoko is upset when the boy that she has been in love with for 2 years refused to accept the love letter that she has written for him. This has made her the laughingstock of the school. Everyone has expected such outcome as Naoki from the A-Class would never go out with Kotoko from the F-Class. Not only he is from the A-Class, he is also a genius and a top student in school. With this rejection, Kotoko decides to move on.

Unexpectedly, during a visit from her friends, her house collapses. Her father decides to put her up at his friend's house while the house is being re-built. To her shock, "the friend" that her father has referred to is Naoki's father. Now that they are living under the same roof, Kotoko's feelings for Naoki (which has never gone away anyway...) rekindles...

This story consists of 23 volumes of manga which spans over a period of a long time, following Kotoko's and Naoki's romance, marriage and married life. However, as Miss Tada passed away before this manga is completed, the 23 volume of manga will not be completed.

Heres some interesting history about the series.

Itazura na Kiss (イタズラなKiss, Mischievous Kiss?) is the popular, unfinished manga series by mangaka Kaoru Tada. Itazura na Kiss began to be serialized and published in 1991 by Shueisha through Margaret Magazine. It became successful very quickly and became the manga series that Tada became known for in Japan[citation needed]. The manga became so popular that two live TV series have been made so far in 1996 and 2005, with a sequel of the 2005 drama set be aired in late 2007. Despite the success of the manga series, the manga series was never completed due to the unexpected death of the author in a house accident while she was moving to another house with her husband and son. However the manga series continues to be published with the permission of the late artist's husband.

Yeh there would be a ghostwritten ending.

I guess I'd be following this series, being chose by BW is akin to quality. True Tears, shugofumi . were superb. Goshuushou sama ninomiya started well then it crashed like the stockmarket when the credit crunch hit.

Looking forward to watching the anime adaption since the storyline is interesting. It's a pity that it's uncomplete, maybe after the anime I'll hunt for the drama adaption...

I wonder how many episodes this series is going to have. The manga is 23 volumes long (tho unfinished). That's a lot of material, so I doubt its going to be less than 26 eps unless they completely rape the story and try to cram an entire volume into one episode.
