the jdrama of Itazura was way too short and the ending felt abrupt to me.


I agree. I enjoyed it a lot, but it did feel too short. But, to be fair, I think it was filmed when the manga was only at volume 5 or so. The manga was never finished as the writer died in an accident, but I think it was up to volume 22 or so when she did die. If they have each episode as one volume. . .then it should be okay. Just as long as they don't change too many things around.
