Synopsis

Shuji Kiritani (Kazuya Kamenashi) is one of the most popular guys in his school. He is
pretending to care for all of his classmates, but deep down, is quiet and doesn't open up to
others. But for some reason,when his eccentric classmate Akira Kusano (Tomohisa Yamashita)
is around, he can show his true self.
One day, a new girl from another school comes to Shuji's classroom. Her name is Nobuko
Kotani (Maki Horikita). Nobuko=Nobuta. Fromher gloomy looks, she begins to get harassed
by the class bullies in no time. The harassment was devastating. Her lunch gets ruined, she
gets a vase of flowers on her deskmeaning she had died, and she even gets water splashed
while she is in the toilet booth. After knowing that the bullying is by Bando (FumikoMizuta),
Shuji and Akira advise Nobuko to try to harmonize with others. But Nobuko tells themthat
she has tried to do so in the past, but every time it turns outmiserable. Shuji tells Nobuko to
have a more positive attitude, and he protects Nobuko from the harassment. However, he
feels that the bullying won't stop that easily.
Hearing about this, Akira comes up with the idea to makeover Nobuko from her looks to
her personality, so that she'd become one of themost popular girls in their school. That way,
there's no way the bullies can harass her. And so Shuji and Akira's greatmake-over begins...
A Cinderella story which portrays the social life of Japanese teenagers. Can this gloomy girl really become popular in her school?

6.	Interesting Cinematography [Rating: 7/10] The color palette is very complimentary to the mood of the drama, a lot of subtle, neutral colors. The sudden switching of filters and lighting in the middle of a scene bothers me a bit, but it isolates and stresses certain moments nicely. They really work the angles and use sweeping camera movements so that, even if you don't know what is going on, it still makes for an interesting (and poignant) ride.

7.	Great and Funny [Rating: 10/10] I totally love this dorama and every chapter I saw is even better I love Akira (Yamapi`s character) sooooo much he`s such a cute guy he`s funny sweet and never care for what people think of him he does whatever he wants whenever, totally opposite from Shuji that`s always afraid of losing his popularity although he always do good at the end... I do believe Nobuta will end up with Shuji but If it was me I would prefer Akira to be the one winning Nobuta`s heart he was so cute in episode 5 I just can`t stop saying "kawai" hehe----

14.	Nobuta Power ga hoshii! [Rating: 8/10] A brilliantly offbeat dorama with credible performances by all three main actors. An endearing story about the depth of friendship and how we all suffer and triumph with the struggles of the human condition. Worthy in many respects, this show will definitely elicit much laughter, cheer, and heartache. YamaPi gives a stellar performance as the undeniably exceptional "Akira." This character will standout as a hallmark of funny and grossly entertaining efforts given by an actor in the oft used "school dorama." Wildy funny and unique.

Many, many funny moments with "Akira" and a generally entertaining storyline make this a very enjoyable jdorama to watch. As a bonus, it has very memorable catch-phrases and characters I've seen in some time. 'Nobuta power chunyuu!' In terms of depth, the drama was rather weak with a simple story of friendship.

24.	Loved it Lots [Rating: 10/10] When I decided to watch this drama, it was really only because Kamenashi Kazuya and Yamashita Tomohisa were going to be in it. After watching a few episodes, I realized that I liked this drama, not only because of the actors, but because of the actual drama. It wasn't easy for me to predict the outcomes like I had been able to do in other dramas I have seen prior to this one. I laughed out loud during some episodes, and cried during others. I absolutely loved watching this drama. (I've already watched it 3 times and I still love it). Some episodes seem a little long (the first one was longgg), but I still recommend it.

She was very credible. If it wasn't for her, I'm not sure if it would have been that good. Yamashita Tomohisa was funny too.

27.	nobuta power~! unique & touching ^_^ [Rating: 8/10] an interesting story about 3 mismatched personalities who came to be best of friends. :) shuji, the popular guy who spent his whole life reaching the top of the social ladder; nobuta, the introvert girl who's socially-challenged; akira, the care-free heir who tags along without invitation. the story itself is quite compelling, the whole idea of 'adopting' an unwanted classmate, doing all sorts of things to make her feel accepted. the growing friendship btw the threesome was also heart-warming. however, the story could have showed more depth (maybe it was too short). and the ending was not solid enough either :) all in all, still worth a watch

I love their constant attempts to change Nobuta and eventually how realistic the change actually was in the end.

Nobuta wo Produce wouldn't be the same without Kusano Akira though, and that is a fact. His role brights up the drama, and even though he has his own problems, he just endure it and helps his friends no matter what. But, overall, I think that all the characters are very admirable. Shuuji is strong too, and Nobuta is unbelievably strong indeed! The OST is great, as expected actually.. (^^')

34.	quite good. [Rating: 8/10] Many seemed to enjoy this drama for the pretty boys. I did expect that. After all, it's Japan and its convenient marketing strategies. Fall of last year, almost everybody I know was nuts about this, doing the kon and whatnot. I'm not a big fan of either Kame or Yamapi, but I was pushed to watch this solely because of curiosity. I actually still couldn't believe that I consider this an overall good watch! The story is simple and usual; themes include love, friendship and everything else cheesy. I absolutely loved the performance of the actress, Maki Horikita. I couldn't have imagined anybody else in that role. Kame was okay, actually good in my opinion and better than what I expected. There was indeed an improvement in Yamapi, and his character Akira was a sweetie. I also liked Erika Toda's performance. :) I never bargained for anything more than the usual in Nobuta. wo Produce, and indeed it was as typical as every other youth-centric drama. But it was good in its own simple way, made me laugh a lot of times and stressed on what friendship really meant. I would recommend this to anybody who likes those entertaining and light-hearted dramas that hold very simple meaning. I liked it!

35.	way beyond my expectations [Rating: 10/10] this is a drama that got me back into Jdorama watching i thinK~ after like my last dorama was Orange Days i think haha~ last fall.. i was just bored and then my friend was gah-gah-ing over Yamashita Tomohisa ~ I know about him i watched lots of drama with him in~ he never impressed me much and Kamenashi.. ugh.. i know who kattun are.. and uh.. i didn't like them~~ all i wanna say is.. i wasn't a fan gurl~ (well it's not after this that i started to notice these younger Johnny boys Yamashita and Kamenashi~ i've always liked Domoto Tsuyoshi. Takizawa, Kimura's acting a lot) out of curiosity i watched cuz the plot sounded quite light hearted~~ as i watched the 1st epi i just thought UGH to Kamenashi (his eyebrows! ahha) and Yamashita was overacting so much but i continued to watch epi2 and 3~ and it caught my attention~ this drama is light hearted (Akira outshines everyone i think~ his performance got better as the episodes got further) and fast paced with many serious stuff in it too~ like talks bout frendship and growing up and stuff that many of us might have encountered b4~ and we can really relate to it~ you can't help but say "ii na.. seishun" when watching~~ Kamenashi proves himself to be the material of "main character" ~ his acting is so natural how ever the character he needs to portray.. ~ i now understand that it's not "outta Nowhere" that he's one of the most popular teen idols these days~ Yamashita ~ he improved a lot n i think it's his 1st time putting "heart" into the acting~ hope he will not flunk in Kurosagi~ i just find him a bit unatural when he acts "cool" and "serious" ~ Horikita is def fresh and with losta potential! i like so a lot! so cute! but most of all i think props have to given to the awesome script writer ~ and adaptatation to drama from the novel was awesome~ i was kinda disappointed how the ratings werent too high tho~ this drama is total recommendation~ a drama that i'd rewatch for sure! btw... i don't think that Nobuta and Shuuji's affair was "unresolved" ~ cuz there was the confessing scene @ the end~ but then they both know that frendship > romantic love ~ that's why they kinda kept it subtle~~ Nobuta definitely liked Shuuji ~ but this romantic part of the story was turned into really subtle and let the watchers to ponder about~~ main focus is that friendship rox haha

36.	Nobuta POWER! Chu-nyu. [Rating: 7/10] It was a cute drama, although a little corny at some point, the plot was quite comforting. I think that Kamenashi & Yamashita make a pretty quaint duo, although it was shocking to see Yamashita play another role other than serious & cool. He plays a weirdo pretty good I'd have to say, he is like Tackey, and I believe his acting career can go as far. The girl I was shocked about too, because she played in Densha Otoko as the younger sister and was such a high school girl that hated her brother, but in this, WOW she changed. A shy girl who was teased by other students, this is a plus for her. She can do such a change in roles, although pieces of her acting as Nobuta were a little iffy. The ending was a little...I dunno it was questionable. I couldn't predict it, but it wasn't smooth either, but I guess it's kind of satisfying since everyone ended happy, though Akira's conflict between loving Nobuta & being with Shuuji was a little confusing and challenging to accept with what he chose to go to in the end... All in all, this drama is calm story & the little boy playing Shuuji's brother was adorable. In Engine he didn't get much, but this one you get to see the brotherly side. Sooo adorable, this drama is good for the Johnny fans, & a person who likes to watch high school dramas. ^-^

51.	did i miss something? [Rating: 5/10] I was anticipating something special from nobuta wo produce since it grabbed the best drama award and some best acting awards along with it, but somehow I think the plot was never well developed enough, and ended up making the drama only a mediocre product. I understand the distinction between the different characters, each with their own misfit problem, Shuuji appearing to be an overcomer, Akira ignoring/not acknowledging his misfit problem, and Kotani acknowledging but unwilling to overcome hers. The story kicks off with how the guys try to help kotani by reinventing her to become the popular girl in school only to find out in the end that she helped give them strength and support, esp the nasty turn of events when shuuji's popularity drops overnight and finds himself in an unpleasant situation. I think in a sense, these parts of the plot are intricate and with a nice twist [(1)referring to the popular can never underestimate how things can overturn for him/her and (2) that kotani, however weird and abnormal she seems, is opening herself up as a friend, and her unusual self is enough to be a friend in a time of need], and more could have been done to further develop them. I for one was so impatient seeing how they are gonna reinvent Kotani, and wanted them to speed up, but the drama just kept moving on at crawling speed leaving me exasperated (they took really long to get that her cut her hair). There were some touching moments in the drama, esp when they put together the ghost mansion/house for the festival. The friendship between the 3 are supposedly strong, reflected by the fact that akira and nobuta both chose to trust shuuji when he was ostracized but I never felt that bond was strong when they had their chats on the rooftops. I had a feeling the drama was trying to convey something, but that something just remained surface deep and wasn't able to penetrate through the walls. If there's one special thing abt the drama, I think it'll be how unartificial the plot is. The story is kept simple, and there's no further adornment to purposely reach a climax point or to cause an adrenaline rush for viewers. I view that as one of the pros and not a con. Out of the 3 main characters, I think kame did a decent job, he pretty much fit his role. Kotani's character was kinda weird, esp how she'd drag her two feet to school with her head hung low, then all of a sudden when she does her nobuta power pose, it was kinda fast and smooth as if she's 'normal'. I've seen a lot of people acting as outcasts, but this just didn't seem to pull off for me. Her acting was anime-like, however I couldn't yet relate that to a drama. Akira's character too was kinda unusual, esp how he gets drunk over soy milk (?). I feel Yamapi did not have a chance to fully develop his character compared to Shuuji who Kame played. I've heard so many good reviews that I was kinda let down. Have been searching high and low reading other people's reviews to see if there's something I missed to grasp in the drama. Putting aside comments such as Akira's soooo cute when he's drunk and such (though I agree Yamapi's good looking), I regret to say I never trully felt emotionally moved compared to other dramas. I still think Nobuta wo produce won the awards because of an affecting quality. I might watch it a second time, this time DVD quality videos, to make sure compromised video quality wasn't the affecting factor, though I highly doubt so.

From Akira to Shuji to Nobuta.. they were all played well. KUDOS. At first I thought people(mostly girls) just voted for this dorama.. because of "eyecandy".. but after watching it, I finally understood why it's on the top10. It's hilarious, touching, and light to watch. The chemistry between the 3 leads were electrifying. The story is very new and will keep you interested. One of the best school doramas out there. A MUST WATCH for guys and girls. Minus 2 for the stupid ending though. Other than that.. you should go and check it out. After watching this.. i find myself saying KON KON..

Now it could be that I'm at a different place in my life than the show's target audience, but the characters whine far too much. And this critique is coming from someone who has a high tolerance for whiny teenagers. After all, I love Holden Caulfield from Catcher in the Rye! Now, as for what's good about the show. Nobuta is adorable, but the other characters really don't strike a chord with me. Now it could be that I had high hopes for this drama, but it just isn't that good. I've been forcing myself to finish this series in the hopes that it will get better, but I fear with just one episode left, it's going no where! I really wish I could have given this a good review! I had such high hopes for the drama!

55.	Good Friends Are Hard To Come By [Rating: 9/10] Good friends are hard to come by, and sometimes those reasons are because we often push away others for what we think is best for ourselves. The lack of trust is often a by-product of selfishness. I hate the word "expectation" because it has the rather high potential of being destructive. Many times expectations set us up for unnecessary downfalls. I watched Nobuta wo Produce with rather large expectations. Rather than crashing down on itself, the show scaled up the "wall of expectation" with incredible ease -- a popular show proved itself worthy of my tears. Nobuta wo Produce attacked almost every one of my soft points. For example, one of the best characters, Uehara Mariko (played by Toda Erika, who did a fabulous job of being hot), despite her hanging relationship having been blown away by truthful words, realized how important that truth was and continued to care for her crush as much as she used to. It takes incredible strength of character to do that. I believe this is part of what makes this drama so special -- the fact that each character learns and grows from their high school experiences. I found myself tearing up at certain points at almost every episode, many times dabbing my eyes at points that don't even make much sense to shed a tear at (I do this often). I was sorta disappointed at how formulaic each episode was with the blatant "theme" having to be solved by the three main characters, but the writing was done so well and the acting every bit as good as the writing that for the most part I didn't care. Every episode had me at attention and ready to face the next thing it was going to dish out. Near the middle of the series it had my complete trust that it was going to move me by the end of each episode. This was my second exposure to Kamenashi Kazuya, as I started (and finished) this series after watching the first three episodes of Sapuri. Watching Sapuri, I wasn't too interested in this actor, but in Nobuta wo Produce, he did a good job of being the loner wearing the popular guy mask. Yamashita Tomohisa did particularly well acting as the eccentric self-proclaimed friend; after watching the episode 0 special and ending special you get a clear view of how abstractly different his character and real persona is. And like many people, I first saw Horikita Maki in Densha Otoko with an obviously tiny role as Densha's sister. I felt she didn't really get a chance to spread her wings in Nobuta wo Produce. She did a great job being the one who gave up on the world, her dark, brooding personality screaming for help. I know her role required this the whole time, but besides frowns and tearing frowns, topped with several half-assed smiles, did really allow her to cover a decent emotional expanse. Still, her character here was extraordinarily different than Densha's, so that warrants some merit. Nobuta wo Produce was a great series and knowing full well that it would never get a second season like most other good dramas, I bet you 20 bucks that they could easily come up with another season of material for this. And that is a great thing for a show to have: potential. Excellent drama!

At last I watched it... and discovered it to be one of the best dramas I have seen! Nobuta Power... ENTER! The relationship of Shuji and Akira was very cool. It wasn't until the end that I understood that this was more a drama about their friendship, and not just about Nobuta. At first Akira was a bit annoying, but he definetly grew to be my favorite character after Shuji! The only dissapointments I had in this series were how Shuji and Nobuta never hooked up, and how Nobuta was left behind in the end. It was an almost-sad, but satisfyingly happy ending.

This makes the drama unique and stand out from all the other school dramas which i feel has been overdone in recent years. This one is not too extreme like Stand Up, but not too traditional where it's always a teacher trying to inspire some gone-astray students. The plot isn't that one-dimensional and at times throws in a few surprises here and there. Also, the cinematography is great, and has a comic-book touch to it.

If you feel the same after ep 1, stay with it. It won't just grow on you, you actually be addicted. It's that good. Kamenashi is great as popular but flawed Shuji, and Yamashita works perfectly as oddball Akira (who becomes surprisingly philosophical as the show progresses). Finally, Horikita plays Nobuta as well as anyone could. Great performances all around. Don't miss it.

Awesome cast. Tatta Hitotsu no Koi and Sapuri were godawful but Kamenashi Kazuya gives a standout performance as Shuji. Yama-pi's performance was completely offbeat but extremely entertaining and equally outstanding. So many classic catchphrases. Horikita Maki also did a great job. Could not believe she was the same person who played the role of bi&chy sister in Densha Otoko. Supporting cast was great all-around. Awesome soundtrack with that distinctive Yoshihiro Ike sound. Excellent/innovative camerawork and cinemetagrophy. The ending was subpar but the story overall was magnificent.

90.	Surprisingly Good [Rating: 10/10] I don't give many 10 ratings but I think that this drama was excellent all around. The first half of the show was lighthearted and funny. The second half really brought the power; it was drama in every sense of the word. When you're watching the shows, you can't help but notice the director's work. The director uses slow motion for emphasis, spot lighting for isolating characters, and colored lighting to change moods to name a few. How someone can balance artistic direction with emotional acting is amazing to see in a drama. I think Shuji's progression as a person throughout the show was believeable. Akira's behavior (like he's always high) was interesting. He kinda overacted a bit in the 1st episode but lightened it the rest of the way. Nobuta was easily likeable. People think this way about such and such and Nobuta is there to offer the contrary and it works. Very much a breath of fresh air (although she was only supposed to smile in the last episode, she breaks character when she's laughing in one of the episodes shortly before the finale). The 2 problems I have with the drama dealt with resolve. Akira all of a sudden expresses his feelings for Nobuta but they quickly go away by the end of the episode for the most part. My 2nd problem was with the shared dream. I'm not talking about Santa visiting, I'm talking about Aoi jumping off the roof. That was hardly believeable. And the impression of the fall on the ground was comedic. I see where they were going but it wasn't executed well. Overall this show though, is a must see! Its funny when it needs to be funny and sad when it needs to be sad. Shuji's isolation from the rest of the class was an amazing scene. There are two things that I wanted to add to the drama if I had final cut as a director. 1 - I wanted Bando to eventually go to Go-Yokudo herself, after her make-up with Nobuta, and not get kicked out because the owner sees she has become beautiful and a good person. 2 - The willow tree that was removed in the 1st episode should have appeared at Shuji's new school rather than overseas somewhere. That would have really brought things around. If you think about it, the major characters (Shuji, Akira, Nobuta, Aoi, and Mariko) had a lot of depth. You can't-not think about things and expect the drama to explain everything in the little time they have. Definitely a surprising drama and if you think that any of the storylines were cliche, I bet you Nobuta wo Produce does a better job than most dramas out there. A 10! A f**king 10!

I couldn't understand why people said this was one of the best they'd ever watched. Perhaps I laid my judgment too soon. This IS one of the best I've ever watched, and I haven't been watching many good dramas lately. From the second episode onwards, the series drew me in. The storyline was simple and very, very sincere, and I loved the fact that it wasn't over-dramatized or trying too hard to impress. The chemistry between the three leads was particularly impressive. I'm not a big fan either of them, but they did a very good job of it. I can't think of anyone else who could be Shuji, Akira or Nobuta, that was how good they were. I particularly enjoyed Yamashita's quirky portrayal of Akira. Thumbs up. Two thumbs up. The side characters were perhaps, a little underdeveloped, especially Bando who seemed to be the main antagonist - right up until about, episode 3 or 4, and then disappeared from the face of the earth - but this show IS Shuji, Akira and Nobuta. I've probably repeated this word many times, but I'll just repeat it again - this drama was IMPRESSIVE. So much so, for the first time in my history of watching J-dramas, I wish there was more to come. Ten episodes of a good thing isn't enough.

I almost stopped watching it after the first episode, but I continued on to see what's so special about it, and I'm glad I stayed with this drama. The three main characters have incredible chemistry; they play off one another very well. They're just so likable. I didn't like Horikita Maki in Hana Kimi because I found her annoying, but in here, I find her endearing. I don't like Kamenashi Kazuya, but he's a revelation in here. It's about three lonely people from different cliques coming together to become best friends. Their bond is so strong that nothing or no one can penetrate it. It makes me nostalgic for when I had such good friends in school. I love themes about friendship. What I also liked about this is that there's no romance. They keep it light, almost non-existent, and just focus on the friendship. And, the theme song is one of the catchiest I've ever heard in a drama. I love it.

It's so intriguing to see Nobuta's development from a scaredy-cat to such strong personality, and the way she was inspired by her 2 friends and in turn, inspire them. The pure friendship between the 3 very different personalities were very touching, just like Yamappi's character said "they both are more important than me" - one could only hope for such deep feelings for friends... Film making-wise, I really like the way this is shot. The way camera moved.. taking the classroom shots at different times, creating different feelings. There are many scenes were taken without actors in it, and they add to the 'feel' in this dorama. Actor-wise, I could not imagine anyone better to play the 3 leading roles than the actors themselves. Except Yamappi maybe, despite his very kakkoii face he's so often seem like contantly on drugs.. ^-^ But even acting like that, it seems fit for his role.. So, here goes my TEN for this one!

111.	Really like this dorama [Rating: 10/10] This dorama is awesome, touched by Kotani efforts to be accepted by all. Really like Akira style, "kon, kon" He somehow seems drunk to me.

112.	Okay? [Rating: 6/10] The "low" rating I gave (compared to some others) is because this drama didn't really leave an impression on me. Dramas that are really good leave an impression on me no matter how many years pass by. This drama...I watched last year...and hardly even remember what happened in it. Now that I think about it, I watched this drama because of the high ratings people gave to it, but after watching it for myself, I just got the reaction: "Umm..okay...don't see how it's THAT good, but I GUESS it's okay..."

113.	Watch this with your gf! [Rating: 10/10] This drama was a fresh breath of air from my usual hiatus of jdramalessness. Character development was a given for Nobuko, however Shuji and Akira grew as well on their own paths. The storyline does not stray too far from its linear path of producing Nobuko, so none of your useless filler. Every episode you can look forward to learning a bit more about the characters you learn to love. There is the exception of Mariko who, as a supporting but vital role, did not receive the same concentration as the main 3 roles. Aside from that, this drama was easy to watch and will flow from beginning to end.

2.	Comments by Mada [Rating: 10/10] Possibly the best funny / high-school drama I saw so far! Definately watch it, Kamenashi and Yamapi make a perfect duo in this drama, they are funny, cute, loveable and hot (d'oh). And Nobuta is very cute as well~ Smile Nobuta!! xD I loved this drama. :)

5.	Comments by katsup [Rating: 7/10] Yamapi was awesome, wasn't a huge fan of Kamenashi Kazuya though, or Horitaka Maki. The acting felt awkward and the story seemed to drag, but it was still a pretty good drama to watch.
6.	Comments by littlegurl [Rating: 10/10] ^___^ yamapi is sooo cute

8.	Comments by mallepa [Rating: 10/10] It's light, sweet and funny ^-^ But I like the plot a lot. And Yamapi is SO CUTE when he's "drunk" XD
9.	Comments by rikastar [Rating: 7/10] This series does exceed my expectations positively as I didn't know what to expect at first. However, somehow this was not as big of a hit with me as with most people, even though I like gakuen dramas a lot. I read the novel after this, and I think the scriptwriter did a fabulous job. Akira Shock! Best Original Character ever. <3
10.	Comments by jpnz-pride [Rating: ?/10] It is one of the best drama of Kame & Yamapi !! Yamapi is hilarious in it!!!
11.	Comments by Dorobou [Rating: 10/10] I was waiting for a drama like this. Wacky, touching, and leaves a great unexplainable feeling.
12.	Comments by donna8157 [Rating: 10/10] A great drama thus far revolving around three high school students. Kamenashi Kazuya plays Shuji, a smart and popular boy in school who has the affection of many of his classmates including the most popular girl in school, but he's unhappy with his situation. Yamashita Tomohisa (Kusano Akira) is the rich and wealthy kid who feels that he has nothing to do and annoys the other students. Lastly, the new girl Kotani Nobuko played by Horikita Maki - the depressed and lonely female who just doesn't fit in with anyone. Shuji decides that he wants to give Nobuka (aka Nobuta) a makeover along with the help of Akira. Together they plan to produce Nobuta into becoming the most popular girl in school. Thus far this drama has been very entertaining even though it is off the high school genre dramas. The filming and acting is very unique compared to others and the characters' personas are definitely out there. I would recommend watching this drama very much. It's one of my favorites for Fall 2005.

16.	Comments by mieki [Rating: 10/10] OMG!! It was so funny and Kame and Yamapi were the best! I love how Yamapi portrayed Akira's character, and Kame also did a good job as Shuji. Horikita Maki also did a wonderful job! It was very entertaining and made me laugh a lot! But at the same time it made me sad. xD It's so good though!! <333333

21.	Comments by aik0 [Rating: 7/10] The "Renewal/make up" project is going really quite slow as other elements such as freindship, school life/peer pressure mix up. Pace is good but could have been faster. The female lead so far has been too secretive to be interesting.
22.	Comments by yami [Rating: 10/10] OMG I LOVE THIS DRAMA SO MUCH!! I doubt I'll ever forget shuuji and akira. I'm so happy I started to watch this <3 there's not enough words in the world to describe my love for this show. I'd say this is my favorite of all I've been watching this far. the plot may sound simple, but trust me, the whole thing is so skillfully made, interesting, funny and touching! I adore shuuji's and akira's friendship. and I love akira SO MUCH! he's my favorite drama-character ever <3

26.	Comments by yamete_evie [Rating: 10/10] This is possibly my favourite drama ever! Basically a story of friendship. Kamenashi Kazuya as Kiritani Shuji was sweet and likeable. It's really interesting to watch how Shuji changes. Yamashita Tomohisa as Kusano Akira is great comic relief. I have to praise his acting skills, because Akira is a fantastic and hilarious performance. Horikita Maki is a beautiful girl who makes a sweet and funny Nobuta. I also like Toda Erika as Uehara Mariko. Nobuta Power, Chuu-nyuu!

Wish that he be awarded as the best supporting actor in this commin' Japanese Dorama award~ Kame, too, hs done a good job~ He acts as if he's born to be Shuji!!

33.	Comments by nagaioyasumi [Rating: 8/10] Brilliantly silly. Yamapi is absolutely delightful as Akira, I don't care much for the other characters, but Akira and his hilarious antics is enough to keep me coming back for more each week. A wonderful full-of-nonsense drama to wind down the week with.

37.	Comments by Buchou [Rating: 9/10] Pi just shines in his latest drama, playing the very... eccentric (to say the least) and drunken Akira. He reminds me of Jack Sparrow in this, <3 Socute. Nobuta wo is both amusing and touching, although it wouldn't be half as entertaining without Akira, not a minute is wasted. A Must Watch!
38.	Comments by norani [Rating: 10/10] Impressive acting of the male leads but the actress leaves a lot to be desired. Kazuya Kamenashi and Yamashita Tomohisa were really fantastic in their roles. Would love to see more of these talented young actors.
39.	Comments by Susan [Rating: 10/10] When I first heard of this drama, I didn't think that I'd like it very much. At last I watched it... and discovered it to be one of the best dramas I have seen! Nobuta Power... ENTER! The relationship of Shuji and Akira was very cool. It wasn't until the end that I understood that this was more a drama about their friendship, and not just about Nobuta. At first Akira was a bit annoying, but he definetly grew to be my favorite character after Shuji! The only dissapointments I had in this series were how Shuji and Nobuta never hooked up, and how Nobuta was left behind in the end. It was an almost-sad, but satisfyingly happy ending.
40.	Comments by sasse [Rating: 9/10] The most interesting I've ever watched, so awesome and the actors are so freaky...especially P as Akira...love him sooo much arg

45.	Comments by enen_shun [Rating: 10/10] at first i thought this drama was only a hilarious and entertaining drama ... but i never thought that this drama actually has depths on friendship ~ i believe the drama's version is more towards heart-warming and hilarious compared to the original novel .. the whole drama's on friendship .. and the friendship among Nobuta+Shuji+Akira is really special .. it's hard-to-find such touchy friendships now in dramas ~ and this drama did made more ppl realise that Yamapi is "not only a pretty face" .. this drama is a worth-watch ~ special plot and roles .. and showed many sides of a human being ~
46.	Comments by ainangst [Rating: 9/10] it makes me long for more. love each and every one of the characters + the actors.
47.	Comments by Nermal [Rating: 9/10] Half of this score goes to the main actress herself for her very cute performance, the other half to the charaters of the series (and not YamaP or Kame because I couldn`t care less about them.) It was a very funny, touching drama to watch this season and I really enjoyed it very much. recommended if you feel like light stuff! ^^
48.	Comments by mmyy [Rating: 10/10] Wacky, hilarious, thrilling and just so much FUN! Kame and Yamapi are great combination here, both excelling in their roles. Don't miss this great high-school drama! Definitely one-of-a-kind! It is the Best Drama for Autumn 2005 after all. :D

53.	Comments by yamada_taro [Rating: 10/10] One of the best dramas. A very touching story about true friendship and human nature. I was moved to tears by Akira's constant support for Shuuji and Nobuta, no matter what happened. Shuuji is depicted very accurately as someone who is struggling in society... and found happiness with two misfits. This drama is truly inspiring. Don't be fooled by the high school setting, it's much more than that.

58.	Comments by x_XJules [Rating: 10/10] finally a drama not centered around a love story. this drama starts with an overdone storyline of the process of making an unpopular girl popular. BUT, the characters are well thought out and the story itself doesn't center around the main concept. This drama is definitely my favorite and a MUST SEE!!!
59.	Comments by jica [Rating: 10/10] I first thought it was a light hearted teenage school drama, but it's much more than so. It's not any manga-storyline, I think they deal with deeper things, about life, friendship, how to be a good person etc.... Of course I started watch it because of Kame (and Kame's one reason that makes this drama so good), but now I have come to like the other characters too... The first episodes don't make you hooked, but it's getting better and better (and darker and darker though....) Hope it will have a good ending. O-o Edit: No need to fear, I just loved the ending. It was soooooooo good, a little bit sad but absolutely great. =)

Comments by atheon [Rating: 10/10] Dec 2005: For me, this isnt the typical high school drama, at first it seems like it, but as the story progresses, it gets darker and unpredictable, im not fangirl of the 2 leads, yet this drama manage to hold my interest. I really liked that they emphasize alot on their friendship, not just pure romance, teaches us to apprciate our friends more, and in your heart, u will always know who are your best friends.

72.	Comments by IkematsuSosuke [Rating: 8/10] I like the cast they work well with each other. I love the two catch phrases "Kon" and "Nobuta Power Chuunuu!" Yamashita-san was the best though, his character Akira was hilarious. The begining and middle episodes were really strong, so I had really high expectations for the last few remaining episode but they just fall short..I wanted more emotions..also I thought they were close, but that wasn't clearly shown towards the end..well maybe it's just me. It's a good drama! Watch it! KON!!!
73.	Comments by Hinano [Rating: 8/10] It was great except for the ending.

I didn't understand why everyone loved it so much. So I thought it the reason for that would be the cast which was made of two Johnny's...but I was false....after a few minutes I understandthis love for that dorama...Surely..the cast did their part too making this dorama to that what it is..and I imagine that it wouldn't be so enjoyable if other actors did the job.

The first half was pretty unconvincing and I almost gave up due to the rather mediocre acting and plot, but in the second half, it gets interesting and you get the see the progression of the plot and the characters...Oh yeah and Yamapi is super adorable when he's high (after drinking soya beans milk?) ^___^ and Maki was good as a living zombie (well, some sort)

90.	Comments by AjiKan [Rating: 10/10] This drama actually took me a very long time to watch. About 6 months. This drama is EXTREMELY enjoyable. It has such funny moments. But also serious moments, and moments that make you want to go "awww..." This drama has taught me many good lessons in life. And made me appreciate it more, in a way. I definitely recommend. It's great seeing Yamapi in a MUCH different role than his usual cool-mysterious type. Horikita Maki and Kame did very well too. Please watch, you won't regret it. ^^

99.	Comments by nienna [Rating: 6/10] Well, there are 2 reasons why i watched this drama. First,i got influenced by my friend since she was so into Kamenashi-kun and two, i watched gokusen 2 n thought that kemnashi-kun is really cool-looking so i thought, "What the heck!" and went for it. It turned out to be a good show after all. Kamenashi and yamapi look really good together~~
100.	Comments by kath123 [Rating: 10/10] Insightful and highly unpredicatable script accentuated with gorgeous cast of leads. A Youth oriented drama without the typical over the top romantic bits. A touch of humanity Highly enjoyable and truly one of the most underated masterpiece

Comments by Jessicasoon [Rating: 8/10] it's not bad. pi is kawaii in it. it's funny, but not as hilarious as what everyone told me. ya. not as funny as stand up and gokusen. so kinda not up to what i expected. i rather prefer the touching parts more. and i like mariko. she's really nice. kame parts are better at the end too cos their more touching. pi parts is basically just really cute and funny moments that are good. like he knows karate. hahaz. actually it's more of his actions that's cute. the funny scenes are lesser. overall still not bad lar.
118.	Comments by maemo [Rating: 9/10] Cute & funny.
119.	Comments by shikka [Rating: 9/10] very interesting plot they have.... although the girl in the drama...kotani ..has a very negative look.....even to the end.... should have make a bigger change on her....
120.	Comments by hiroshi_ben [Rating: 10/10] Very Very meaningful and nice drama!
121.	Comments by Smiley_18 [Rating: 8/10] 8.5 The main actress got annoying sometimes. Other than that, it's a really funny show!
122.	Comments by ViZieR [Rating: 10/10] yamapi kawaiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!
123.	Comments by atleast13 [Rating: ?/10] the storyline is good but weird at times like those spirits O_o wtf? i had to drop it and watch the rest after the drama was over so i forgot some weird parts.
124.	Comments by Di@na [Rating: 9/10] Shuji to AKIRA!!! KON! I enjoyed this drama a lot..2 guys try to make an outsider like Nobuta popular! You just want to watch EVERY episode till the end.. YES it's worth WATCHING! Nobuta Power ENTER! XD
125.	Comments by cutesawada [Rating: 10/10] It was good! Akira was really adorable and him and Shuji make the best couple :)
126.	Comments by shinobu_k [Rating: 10/10] Yayyyy~~! Nobuta powa! Shuji to Akira rabu rabu powa! XD Un drama divertidisimo, muy tierno y con grandes actuaciones. Kame me ha mostrado el gran potencial que posee. Lo de Yamapi ya lo sabia XD
127.	Comments by minitotoro [Rating: 10/10] well-thought acting on all cast members kame w/ the serious part but adds a lot of love to it. u can tell yamapi has a fun part and is showing his acting skills a lot in this film..? drama! nobutachan! genius in her acting and everyone knows it~ i really cant wait to see her movie.. always everyon's just great in this drama where the plot is very deap i think it'll leave a little something in everyone who watches it
128.	Comments by athida [Rating: 8/10] I was testing this just to see how it was but I enjoyed it. I like how the friendship between Shuji, Akira and Nobuta grows with each episode and how they change as a person as a result of the strong bond that is shared among them.
129.	Comments by nori17 [Rating: 10/10] I loved this. The ending kind of surprised me, but maybe my copy is a bootleg? Arrgh...that would be disastrous.
130.	Comments by Evil_Ellie [Rating: 10/10] Best drama, one of my all time favourites, Pi is awesome here and Kame gave a good performance ... i loved the progress of the story and it's funny too!
131.	Comments by jgal [Rating: 8/10] Pretty good!! LOVED YAMASHITA'S CHARACTER!!! nobuta was a really good actress!!!
132.	Comments by mana-chan [Rating: 10/10] most favourite drama ever!! the cast is just perfect. kame-yamapi duo is the best ingredient a director can find for a drama. after winning so many awards, there is no doubt that this drama is a must-see!!
133.	Comments by i love Yamapi ^_^ [Rating: 10/10] I LOVE IT !!!! its one of my first japanese dramas that i watched... :P i love Yamashita Tomohisa ! he is soo HOTT!!!!!
134.	Comments by aiscess [Rating: 9/10] Also a nice series about highschool life...3 unlikely characters became friends...it's funny and at the same time some of the scenes are more intune with reality;)
135.	Comments by makuhita [Rating: 9/10] It's really a good film! :* :* :* I fell in love with Pi in the dorama at first,,, but later realized that Shuji's the one I love most! ^^ Anyway, you really should watch the dorama.. plus the Chile pig looks really cute! XD
136.	Comments by Sooji [Rating: 8/10] I loved Yamapi's character!
137.	Comments by naomi14 [Rating: 10/10] waah.....shuji and akira here are so kakkoii!!!!... though i haven't watched the whole drama, I had watched the final episode LOL, it's all about friendship (friendship between Shuuji & Akira)
138.	Comments by tabana [Rating: 8/10] Nice story and cast. Horikita Maki's performance was awesome. The plot can be slow sometimes, but if you're a girl and a cute guys fan, you'll find it perfect. :D I had fun watching it.
139.	Comments by Shuin [Rating: 8/10] Nice school comedy with great cast. =) like kazuya Yamapy and Maki
140.	Comments by .posse [Rating: 9/10] The storyline isn't all that interesting but akira definitely made up for it. Yamapi is just sooooo good inside. kon kon
141.	Comments by ^aPPLe^ [Rating: 9/10] I feel that it's a bit different than other dorama, but i liked it.. it's adorable in its own way =)
142.	Comments by youhei_mito [Rating: 8/10] interesting story about the friendship btw 3 mismatched personalities. :) it all began with the idea of making-over nobuta, an insecure girl who had low self-esteem & was socially-challenged. wat started as a simple challenge slowly developed the threesome into the best of friends. this drama had its 'aww~~so sweet' moments, however the plot was a little slow & not-in-depth. :) would've done better if it was a few episodes longer
143.	Comments by Eve [Rating: 9/10] Funny and clever. Not your standard high school drama at all. Enjoyed it begining thru the end.
144.	Comments by lil_black_star [Rating: 10/10] ^-^ Funny, and kool.
145.	Comments by MokaGirl [Rating: 7/10] The plot itself is ok. But the scenario was a bit random as if they ( writers ) wanted to make something and then run out of ideas. Some scenes were also a bit overacted AND overdone but I don't mind that much. Andl I grew up a big fan of Maki, YamaPi and Kame bcuz of this drama. Nice choices for the main casts !! So thumps up for the effort. I would definitely welcome the treesome together onscreen again. Oh I adore the Seishun Amigo song !!!!
146.	Comments by terra-kun [Rating: 10/10] Sugei naa. Id give it a perfect 10. Not like any drama I have ever seen
147.	Comments by SyoCamui [Rating: 7/10] It was pretty good. I really enjoyed it. Shuji and Akira were absolutely hilarious. Though I think it was the character Akira that I enjoyed the most. Tomohisa Yamashita is very talented. The personality he portrayed in this drama was so different from Dragon Zakura, that I didn't even realise it was him at first. Anyways, this drama was very entertaining.
148.	Comments by Totchi [Rating: 10/10] My favourite!!! I love it, because the story is serious with ijime, but also you can laugh!
149.	Comments by Mat_Deris [Rating: 2/10] Interesting drama for watch especially character Shuji, Kusano Akira, Kotani Nobuko. Character Kotani Nobuko plays by Hirikota Maki makes me to watch more next episode.
150.	Comments by Jit3rbug [Rating: 9/10] Hilarious. The ending was a bit odd, but the story kept you interested cause the characters were interesting. My favorite character is Akira!! "Akiiirrra SHOCK" KON !
151.	Comments by Sevenz [Rating: 10/10] Absolutely amazing dorama! Very funny, and the cast is wonderful...Love Toda Erika in the show!!
152.	Comments by selphie086 [Rating: 10/10] Nobuta Power!! I love this show. It's a great great must watch show.
153.	Comments by v1olet [Rating: 10/10] Great dorama about friendship. Shuji & Akira, an odd couple of 'the idol and the weirdo' + Nobuta, the girl they make over. I love the story, love the actors, the OST, love em all.... I enjoy watching every episode. Kamenashi Kazuya + Yamashita Tomohisa are fantastic.
154.	Comments by hisashi [Rating: 10/10] The best school drama!!!

156.	Comments by Kaidasalene [Rating: 10/10] KON!
157.	Comments by icebaby028 [Rating: 6/10] I had expected this drama to be better than it was considering how much they were promoting it and stuff. But honestly, I was disappointed. The story is a pretty good one but execution was poor. The script was nothing to get excited over and the drama is pretty boring at times. Situations were weird and the characters were not really well developed. The only good things about this drama are Yamapi and Kame since they're so cute. Other than that, not really worth watching.
158.	Comments by GIGI [Rating: ?/10] Yamapi was absolutely gorgeous and surprisingly good! :-D He overshadows Kame with his screen presence.
159.	Comments by kiimura+akuya [Rating: 10/10] kazuya and tomohisa were perfect acting pairs in this drama.. akira especially brings lots of fun and joy in every episode.. ^^
160.	Comments by Q-chan [Rating: 9/10] Hmmm... Excellent! Love YamaP in this dorama. Very cute Akira!!!
161.	Comments by purplequeenz [Rating: 8/10] yamapi kawaii~!!!!!! <3

164.	Comments by syu77 [Rating: 10/10] I LOVE WATCHING THIS DRAMA...ALL THREE OF THEM WERE WONDERFUL IN THIS DRAMA...!
165.	Comments by Jackykero [Rating: 9/10] A nice & easy-to-watch dorama, about friendship & love of 3 high-school students. Maki Horikita plays her difficult role with lots of talent - lots happen in her eyes and gestures, and the rest of cast is convincing as well. Good plot and good filming. One of the few dorama that I will remember through a quote: "Nobuta power!" Note : quite easy to understand for those who like me are not fully fluent in Japanese
166.	Comments by hurh. [Rating: 10/10] I had no idea what this drama was about, but I read the description somewhere. Judging from that, I thought it would be a typical, lighthearted teen drama. My friend visited from Osaka and she was like, obsessed, so I wanted to see it. I was only going to watch it out of curiosity (plus YamaPi and Kame were in it). From the first episode though, I was really impressed, it was a lot different than I had expected. It was actually kind of quirky and dark, and was more serious than I had anticipated, though not without humor. The drama wasn't really about Nobuta's 'makeover' at all, but more about the value of youth and friendship. I like the main cast and characters very much (especially Akira xD). I thought YamaPi, Kame, and Horikita Maki were great! I also love how the minor characters were all unique. I also like the cinematography a lot. :D One of my favorite dramas~!
167.	Comments by phoenix_angkasa [Rating: 8/10] I totally love this dorama and every chapter I saw is even better I love Akira (Yamapi`s character) sooooo much he`s such a cute guy he`s funny sweet and never care for what people think of him he does whatever he wants whenever, totally opposite from Shuji that`s always afraid of losing his popularity although he always do good at the end... I do believe Nobuta will end up with Shuji but If it was me I would prefer Akira to be the one winning Nobuta`s heart he was so cute in episode 5 I just can`t stop saying "kawai" hehe----
168.	Comments by Rare [Rating: 10/10] The best dorama I've ever seen!!!! Kame and YamaPi does a great job in this one, and the storyline is awsome, just the best dorama I've ever seen and will probably stay the best.
169.	Comments by kindaichee [Rating: 7/10] Weird storyline & characters but all in all rather watchable & entertaining.
170.	Comments by mushy [Rating: 9/10] Horikita
171.	Comments by wanderingfish7 [Rating: 9/10] Oh, my, i just love this drama. Of course, not just because of those cute guys and the ending song. The drama is telling stories about life. I was touched by some of the sayings in the drama.
172.	Comments by IniQx [Rating: 4/10] Still not knowing what the big hoo-ha is about this drama, I barely made it through the end. Yet another high-school themed drama with love, friendship, jealousy all rolled into one. Kinda passe isn't it? Sorry to say but this is one of the worst drama I've watched. Spastic characters, weak story plot. It must have been those pretty boys again.
173.	Comments by Redhai [Rating: 9/10] A very interesting drama that really leaves you wishing for more. Kame and Yamapi did a great job with their characters. Especially Akira always made me smile ^^ I truly recommend this one!
174.	Comments by Danji [Rating: 8/10] Nobuta wo Produce was a really fun show to watch! We get to see our primary character evolve a bit and there's even some awesome power moves! :D
175.	Comments by meiohsetsuna [Rating: 9/10] Two hot guys, one female transfer student. A friendship is formed when the three decide to 'produce' the girl, in hopes of making her one of the most popular girls in the school. This proves to be a difficult task, as Nobuta can't speak clearly, walks funny, and never did learn social skills. Although there isn't a ton of 'producing' happening, its a good story of friendship and bizarre occurances that happen in daily highschool life. The ending song 'Seisshun Amigo' is a must-have! It describes the two males character's (Shuuji and Akira) relationship, and was a number one hit in Japan.
176.	Comments by illuminati [Rating: 9/10] nice
177.	Comments by Jeanxi [Rating: 7/10] Pretty good, reeeeeally funny, but is completely lacking in substance (as most high school dramas seem to be). There are some very special moments/scenes in this series that I will remember forever (like when Akira teaches Nobuko the "Nobuko Power chuunyu" scene, when Akira breaks a stack of stone blocks to warn Shuuji, and when Akira tells Nobuko that her hands are not dirty and puts one on his cheek) but the storyline/plot is mostly just okay. My favorite scenes all have to do with Akira, I think =P Yamapi is so cute in this series...I never used to like him much, but I'm liking him much more now that I've fallen in love with his character in this drama. Final note...Kame is so totally a girl (kind of not a good thing, I mean, he's nice looking, but a girl =P)
178.	Comments by addicted2tackey [Rating: 10/10] THE BEST!!!! I mean SOOOOPER DABEST!! I watched for like 3 times already and each time I LOVED IT! And yeah, i love it still. Great characters! I so love Akira's! Very random and lovable~ The story is great. Although Nobuta and Shuuji can be annoying sometimes but it's still great. So great. It's my current No.1. It's in that level in my book. ^^; Kon!
179.	Comments by odhie [Rating: 9/10] yeah,, i really like the story,, so unique.. different with other dramas!!!. yamapi also acted cute..
180.	Comments by InSearchOf [Rating: 6/10] After all the positive reviews, I was hoping this was as good as Dragonzakura. Spending the whole night watching all the episodes, I was a bit disappointed with it at the end. The new actresses, Maki and Erika, are very cute and Tomohisa was better in Dragonzakura, but the story fell kinda short.
181.	Comments by CheeSauce [Rating: 9/10] Too cute and adorable for words! This drama sucked me into Jdoramas. kon kon!
182.	Comments by momoko_ichigo [Rating: 9/10] understandable =]
183.	Comments by laramatsu [Rating: 10/10] kakkoi!!! i i love the drama a lot!! I thought it's just another boring high school drama but I was wrong. The potrayal of their friendship are just so beautiful, so does the plot and the character build up
184.	Comments by a-nesuto [Rating: 6/10] the 6 is all for Pori-chan. yamaPee and krappynashi are bad as usual
185.	Comments by Kiyomi L. Denise [Rating: 6/10] Umm... not bad. Sorry, but I find this drama a bit boring... and it seemed kinda incomplete... Anyway, I love Akira!! He's so cute!! Though he seemed a little 'pondan' (a guy with ladies' characteristics), but he hit the otoko!! 3 cheers!! Shuji was a nice person, but his character's kinda typical... I dare say the show wouldn't be nice if there isn't an Akira.
186.	Comments by lucy_monostone [Rating: 10/10] The Best of 2005
187.	Comments by aretakuyanie [Rating: 8/10] wow it cool drama.................
188.	Comments by DragonSpirit164 [Rating: 7/10] It's alright.... I didn't think it was particularly THAT absorbing, but the drama was definitely easy to watch becuase of the aloofness of the characters. Seishun Amigo is a fantastic song too.
189.	Comments by shoujo22 [Rating: 7/10] I thought it was pretty funny. It gave me a well needed break from all the seriousness and melodrama that I've been (unexpectantly) picking and viewing from my drama list. The acting is kind "meh", but it made me laugh, so I'll give it a pretty good little rating.
190.	Comments by k2_the_aoru [Rating: 10/10] awesomeness. P- & jin love.
191.	Comments by Anees [Rating: 9/10] so much fun! Nobuta will make you feel all warm inside
192.	Comments by Lisat1005 [Rating: 8/10] The man is soooooo hott, yes i'm talking about Yamashita Tomohisa. It was a cute drama about a girl that got picked on
193.	Comments by kaonashi [Rating: 8/10] A drama about friendship & the toughness of beeing yourself, among other things. The hightlight of the show's Yamashita Tomohisa as the goofy Kusano. Overall it's a good cast. A bit overrated drama in my opinion but it's good, it's funny & has a nice ending.
194.	Comments by sao [Rating: 9/10] I like Akira and Nobuta's characters ! They're so funny, Yamapi and Maki are very good playing ! The story is simple but touching, the situations are amusing, a funny drama at last ! Kon kon ^_^
195.	Comments by fastat3m [Rating: 9/10] I actually didn't like the first couple of episodes but I slowly began to like this drama.
196.	Comments by Kirari Ililah [Rating: 7/10] It was cute, the pig thing was such a nice mascot for Nobuta. The three-legged pigs actually exist, I have 2 myself, and they are strange but sooo adorable. This story is like an average Japanese high school story, but with an encouraging "umph". It reveals the power of friends, and how important it is to help those that have trouble. Doing something about a situation is better than just watching & building guilt. It's a nice drama, although has some corny scenes, it funny and fun to see. Johnny boys once again, but they are a good combination..
197.	Comments by Houko [Rating: 10/10] "Nobuta wo Produce" is the first JDorama I watched. At first I was not sure whether I want to look it or not. But I'm glad watching it. I've got much FUN. It's so FUNNY!! Too bad that there are only 10 episodes!! I want to see more of Nobuta and JDoramas!! : )
198.	Comments by Junn [Rating: 9/10] Very good drama, yamapee and kame did superb in this drama, and I loved yamapi's role in it
199.	Comments by Aki-Michiru [Rating: 10/10] superb
200.	Comments by prismatic_star [Rating: 10/10] Your high school drama that changes your persepective of scoiety. Very memorable. Plus, add the humor. Nobuta Powa Chuuu nii! xD KON KON!
201.	Comments by soupychan [Rating: 7/10] The ending was a disappointment, but rest of the show was fun.
202.	Comments by aznasia [Rating: 10/10] * KON KON!! I love Yamashita tomohisa in this Dorama! Also there were so many funnie parts that i LOVED!
203.	Comments by michiru3 [Rating: 10/10] A nice story and good watch. The whole thing flows by so quickly! None of the acting's bad nor annoying. The teachers are FINALLY cool and not super annoying like Dragonzakura. I like the message it portrays. It's cute too, especially the Nobuta Power.

207.	Comments by williu [Rating: 10/10] A surprisingly good drama! It is funny, deep, beautiful and smart. Although it's not perfect, the acting is very good and the storyline keeps you hooked. And it is lightyears ahead of other high-school dramas. Top notch!
208.	Comments by blythebabez [Rating: 10/10] luv it luv it luv it
209.	Comments by norz [Rating: 10/10] I love this drama! Although it has the high school theme it has more of a shojo manga type feel with its 2 hot guys and a caring leading girl. Besides the male eye candy, I absolutely love Nobuta. Horikita Maki does an excellent job protraying as outsider and keeps her self true throughout the entire series. "she may look plain on the outside and weird but she is beautiful on the inside" althogh cliche and played a lot in many stories, it really worked in this drama (im lost for words!) And how those guys make she shine is beautiful. Kame's performance was by far excellent, his storys character was very unique and touching (a character not seen or played in full like how hes done with it).. and yamapi kawaii :P
210.	Comments by silly [Rating: 7/10] Drama is very funy. And actor so cute i love how they ackt and how they look.

216.	Comments by sexyboy77 [Rating: 8/10] Nobuta Power Enter ...very cool it wouls have been a classic if they payed a little more attention to the ending
217.	Comments by xxhiroxx [Rating: 9/10] Not wanting to follow the hype, but this drama really is spectacular and fares well beyond what I had expected. Or perhaps I'm just a sucker for friendship dramas. Yamashita has a interesting role, and Horikita is a really good actress. In the beginning it seems to be completely WTF, but the story builds later one. Parts of the drama could be corny, boring, or pointless, but it all eventually makes up. 友情サイコウ！！
218.	Comments by Lil Kt [Rating: 9/10] GREAT drama =D Only the end pulls it down a little... but other than that it's great ^-^
219.	Comments by DT04 [Rating: 10/10] I really enjoyed watching this drama. Yamapi really made Akira a likeable character. I liked the interaction between the three main characters (Shuuji, Akira and Nobuta). I'd recommend this drama!
220.	Comments by jdoramarockz [Rating: 10/10] i love Yamapi he is so cute!!! i also like nakajima yuto(shuji's lil bro)....l love this jdorama!! O_o kekekekekekeke...

222.	Comments by kneehard [Rating: 9/10] I really like this drama, although the plot of making over a fugly chick is very old..this series spins it in a way that's refreshing. Good job Shuji, Akira and Nobuko (Nobuta)!!
223.	Comments by haru_no_yume [Rating: 10/10] The best! First time I've seen Pi acting...and from that moment...RabuRabu!! ^_^ Even if the last part is a little bit moralistic, I thik that is the best drama...maybe besause of Yamapi's Akira....^o^
224.	Comments by neon_dragon [Rating: 8/10] This is a decent drama, but not one of my personal favorites. It has great plot twists though.
225.	Comments by maymay80 [Rating: 9/10] loved it but the ending could of been better. yamapi is soo cute!
226.	Comments by AK [Rating: 10/10] I never thought this drama could be that good. It reaches perfection. Yamapi finally shows off his acting skills, same with "Shuji-kun" (Kazuya Kamenashi). Nobuta's role is acted almost with passion by Maki horikita, I'd say. What I liked most of this drama is how every episode leaves something in your heart. Every episode is something to learn about. There is no room for sadness in this drama, just for touching happiness!
227.	Comments by oToyz [Rating: 9/10] "Nobuta Power cyuu~ nyuu~"

236.	Comments by Rory [Rating: 10/10] Amazing drama, perfect even. I liked it very much and could watch it again and again. Kamenashi made a fantastic Shuji. Yamashita.. well I didn't like his character at all in this drama but Nobuta was such a cute girl.

241.	Comments by ilovetakuya [Rating: 9/10] I love this drama. This drama is so funnily weird and quirky.. hahaha; It made me to think a lot about the evil inside us. I especially related a lot with Shuji, because I'm so like him in so many ways. I'm afraid of not being accepted by my peers. Because of that, I wrap myself up. In front of my friends, I'm always smiling and funny. But inside, I get easily depressed and I feel loneliness painfully. I'm sure a lot of people can relate to the this and the overall theme of this drama. I loved Nobuta because she's so brave, honest, and loyal. The friendship of NObuta, Shuji, and Akira touched me. Definitely recommended. Also, Yamashita looked cute here. I didn't like him at all when I saw him as a singer and in dragonzakura... But then, he was so cute here..:)

245.	Comments by ___overture [Rating: 9/10] Hehe, tis' a really funny drama. But the ending was so uncomplete D<
246.	Comments by xiong_here [Rating: 6/10] Well...it's an okay dorama. I felt some parts jumped around a bit and also, it just felt too "loose." Nothing really stood out but nothing really was great either. The Dorama is quick though, but don't expect anything too intense, this is a light wieght but is somewhat enjoyable...somewhat. Its another one of those high school-themed doramas...and frankly...I'm getting tired of them.
247.	Comments by octane [Rating: 7/10] the beginning was funny..... and I lost interest around episode 5... but still finish it....
248.	Comments by viet_la_amour [Rating: 6/10] It's okay.
249.	Comments by ellenfosh [Rating: 8/10] the story was funny, but the only star in this drama just NOBUTA, she acted very good, different with Kame, his character didn't interesting, same as Yamapi, he was ridiculous guy

251.	Comments by shirota [Rating: 7/10] Great Drama, with a lovely cast. Although some of their acting could do some working on. Akira played by Yamapi is a must see.
252.	Comments by hiei1999 [Rating: ?/10] cute
253.	Comments by rdoll [Rating: 9/10] A great drama eventhough the ending is so cheesy.
254.	Comments by ndahhyuqyu [Rating: 8/10] akira...
255.	Comments by g_hunter1 [Rating: 8/10] Pretty entertaining but some parts are sorta weird. I guess thats fine.
256.	Comments by shozen [Rating: 8/10] this was ok. was kind of gay in the end but kamenshi and yamashita tomohisa were pretty good in combination.
257.	Comments by weitingd [Rating: 10/10] a very meaningful story.....
258.	Comments by jess [Rating: 10/10] yay. the first drama i gave a 10 to. watching this drama had been so satisfying. It really shows the many challenges in high school life and how 3 friends stuck together and pulled through in the end. Although Shuji and akira's main intention was to "remake" nobuta, I think Shuji, in particular, gained a lot in understanding the true meaning of friendship, and gaining 2 such real friends. I really enjoyed pi's performance in this drama, the story would have been so much more boring without him :) Kame and maki were good too of course. Meaningful plot, great actors, what more could you ask for? School-goers esp, will be able to relate to this drama and i guarantee you will enjoy it.
259.	Comments by SmiLeeGirl [Rating: 9/10] The ending wasn't quiet what I exepted but suited the story line. It is interesting to see the characters grow which I think is unusual for a school drama
260.	Comments by lightningemperor [Rating: 8/10] It was pretty cool in the beginning and towards the end it was pretty good. But the ending....ah.....I didn't like it. I hate it when a drama is great in the beginning but they run out of ideas in the end and make up crap that just doesn't give you any closure. I need closure!
261.	Comments by tAz [Rating: 9/10] this drama is surprisingly really good. actors were good, and it kinda reflects how shallow youths can be. a story about a wierd friendship. funny, entertaining and nice (:
262.	Comments by yukari_no_hoshi [Rating: 8/10] This drama is really funny!!!
263.	Comments by dekatrain [Rating: 10/10] Best school drama I've seen...much better and more realistic than Gokusen. Script was brilliant, the story was amazingly beautiful. One of the few dramas you can actually learn from...and I don't know how YamaP didn't win an award for his absurd yet brilliant character.
264.	Comments by mitchyko [Rating: 8/10] very funny highschool drama...talks a lot abt high school life that weve all experienced...that friendship is very important...and keeping them is so hard...kon!! kon!!!
265.	Comments by Kendesu [Rating: 9/10] interesting storyline
266.	Comments by czajka [Rating: 8/10] At least I've finished this drama and I was postitivly suprised about how good it was and the lead acting, I haven't expected much from Kame ;^_^ I really enjoyed this drama :D
267.	Comments by kai0227 [Rating: 8/10] This was a good drama but it could've been so much better. The story was a simple yet good one and I liked the relationships between the main characters. The drama also deviated from the typical drama formula which is a refreshing thing. But too much time was spent on petty things when it could have been used on further development of charaters and relationships. Otherwise, it was a fun drama to watch with some hilarious acting from Yamashita and Horikita was pretty convincing as an outcast girl especially since she's so damn cute in real life.
268.	Comments by aubrery [Rating: 9/10] <<nice drama! has good chemisrty between shuji akira and nobuta,,,, super cute! xpecially AKIRA!! waahhHH!!
269.	Comments by sweet_tapioca [Rating: 10/10] Such a cool drama. It wasn't so lovey-dovey, really focused on friendship. It was hilarious and really entertaining. I recommend everyone to watch it!
270.	Comments by Dreamchaser [Rating: 8/10] Watching this dorama got me interested in YamaP & Kame. Their chemistry is great here and Maki is pretty good, too...
271.	*Comments by Sayaka* [Rating: 10/10]** One of the best dramas ever to exist,and one of my personal favorite dramas too. It's actually number one on my list now...then it would be live drama called Kurosagi. Yamapi is so cute, comedic, and absolutely mesmerizing as the character, Akira Kusano. Go Yamapi-san!
272.	Comments by altec [Rating: 10/10] This is my favourite drama. I almost choked up when the last episode aired-that's rare. Kazuya/Tomoshi/Maki were the best casting choices. This drama deserves all the recognition it can get.
273.	Comments by AZNBryan [Rating: 8/10] MUST WATCH
274.	Comments by eftermiddag [Rating: 9/10] what a wonderful dorama!! i loved every second of it. especially Yamapi's charachter Akira, just wonderful!! my favorite charachter of all times!
275.	Comments by carpe_noctem [Rating: 10/10] sugoi!! great dorama!^_______^ but I didnt like the ending...I wish it turned out the other way after all @_@

279.	Comments by expanzee [Rating: 7/10] A very good drama. I was dissapointed with the ending though.
280.	Comments by BOGCHI [Rating: 9/10] A really freakin fun show to watch. The three characters were well written and the actors did a good job playing them. Thumbs UP! But I was kinda hoping they made an alternate ending for this. It's all good..
281.	Comments by hero too good! [Rating: 10/10] OMG!!!~! this is lik the best best drama ive seen!! so fun and funny.also YamaP did sooo good!YAmap rox!
282.	Comments by artisticpariah [Rating: 10/10] The whole school thing was hilarious! lots of inside jokes i liked.... Maki was HOT! Nobuta POWERRR! Chu-Un yu~~ Bye Bicyle! haha!
283.	Comments by Wynter [Rating: 10/10] This is my favourite drama so far because it was nicely written and I loved the ending. It was so... fitting.
284.	Comments by cashewramen [Rating: 8/10] nobutaa powerr...!! akiraa kawaiiii....!! so baka2.. har har..
285.	Comments by Qky [Rating: 8/10] OK.. this is one unique drama that stands out from the others in terms of story. It emphasizes on friendship rather than the same-old love stories. The show really catches in the first few episodes, however in my oppinion the story was going pretty slow near the ending. Although I still have to give an ovation for the main characters for doing a great job. Erika Toda is very cute in here and Akira (played by Yamashita-kun) is really entertaining through out the show. :D. Maki-chan also did a great job to portray Nobuta and Kame-kun showed his top quality acting as always.
286.	Comments by Pete182 [Rating: ?/10] I love this drama! I laughed so much when yamapi was drunk. LOL!
287.	Comments by Ashes_Wishes [Rating: 10/10] This is a work of an genius. I was almost speechless when I watched this dorama first time. Characters, plot, EVERYTHING is so well done that this show should get much love.
288.	Comments by Luthiel no Edge [Rating: 10/10] Nobuta wo Produce is just unforgettable. And it's due to Yamashita Tomohisa's magic performance. Even today, I still think I won't like someone as much as I did with Kusano Akira.
289.	Comments by G-Pjube [Rating: 8/10] A cool high school drama, but I have seen better. But still, it was pretty enjoyable and I also liked Akira (the somewhat strange guy) as a character. I even copied his 'kon'. ;P This drama get's an extra point just for Akira. So the drama itself would be a 7 for me.
290.	Comments by Tiffany [Rating: 7/10] Like many doramas, this series started out very promising. However, halfway through it, I couldn't stand it any longer. The story quickly went downhill and the ending was horrible. Yet, I was quite impressed with Kame's acting and YamaP gave a very memorable performance as Akira!
291.	Comments by win [Rating: 6/10] I think it boring I fall sleep in ep 2....
292.	Comments by Paine_kun [Rating: 8/10] Funny, touching, interesting. Akira is sure the best.
293.	Comments by sweetkisses7574 [Rating: 10/10] i like this drama alot it is very funny!! and pretty good!!! :) the two boys were so nice!! but i just wish that maybe they would stand up for her but try to hide that they are makeing her pretty. but hey oh well
294.	Comments by ume [Rating: 8/10] I am not into Kazuya at all...I keep wishing YamaP got the girl. Anyways it was a nice BROTHERLY drama. Get the feeling of highschool again...and kind of learn about the meaning of real friendship. Cute drama.
295.	Comments by Lee-chan [Rating: 7/10] Despite my aversion to the J-boys, I found both Kamenashi and Yamashita's performances to be pretty good. While not particularly deep or moving, I found this to be a very fun watch with a bit of heart every now and then.
296.	Comments by Wesu [Rating: 9/10] AKIRA SHOCK!! WAY overrated IMO but it's pretty fun... EDIT Re-watched it, and its really good actually; almost a ten!! YAMAPI ROCKS, DACCHA!

306.	Comments by AppleTree [Rating: 10/10] So far so good. Waiting to see more
307.	Comments by twinkletoez [Rating: 7/10] Yamapi and Kame worked really well together. They were very cute, and I loved Nobuta, but for me, it wans't as good as I'd expected.
308.	Comments by chinapin0 [Rating: 10/10] very funny drama, i dont know why i keep wanting to watch it, but its great
309.	Comments by black-li [Rating: 10/10] KON KON I love it because it's abaut friendship
310.	Comments by Signo [Rating: 7/10] Nice story! The actors are also well. Only the end is a little bit sad, when Nobuta is alone and the guys together...
311.	Comments by aoi_dolphine [Rating: 7/10] First of all if you are a fan of Kame or Yampi this is one of the drama to watch. Otherwise the plot of this drama is rather the same old story in any drama setting... but the theme song Seishun Amigo is nice and catchy to the ears... ^-^
312.	Comments by tkarmina28 [Rating: 10/10] One of the best dramas to be ever made! I'm not sure if I loved the story as much as I loved the two guys who starred in it!! Yamapi and Kame were just adorable. This drama gave them back their friendship ... so I say it's 10/10!! Shuji x Akira was awesome!!
313.	Comments by Jazung [Rating: 9/10] Heartfelt! Atsuii~~ Mariko suki yo~
314.	Comments by LiA_san [Rating: 10/10] not bad... i luv the friendship value of this drama..
315.	Comments by Kawaii Kinomoto [Rating: 10/10] such a great drama!! P and Kame together is the best duo!! SHUJI AND AKIRA!! KYAAA!! seishun amigo is such a great song!! horikata maki is the best in this dorama!! great plot great cast great music great everything!!
316.	Comments by seissa [Rating: 7/10] too cute!
317.	Comments by yetters [Rating: 8/10] One of the more unusual, tasteful high school dramas. I think Kamenashi Kazuya delivered the significant performance required to make the drama click. I was surprised at the insights and emotions that this series evoked. At certain points, it was very funny (and slapstick), but then almost instantly, it becomes dark and foreboding. Again, an odd mix for a high school drama.
318.	Comments by Patazilla [Rating: 8/10] I loved seeing YamaPi and Kame playing together. As yamaPi announced he normally doesn't play characters like Akira, but I think it fits him veeeeeeeery, veeeeeeery well (probably better as the down-to-earth-characters, he normally plays)! The famale actors also did a great job. All in one a really nice, funny, heartily dorama, which you should have seen! XD I just didn't really like the end... a sequel would be nice! But you get used to it, it's not that bad... ^^
319.	Comments by Poncky [Rating: 10/10] Very good dorama, Teaches you want it's like to have a true friends..
320.	Comments by Lady_Susie [Rating: 9/10] Beautiful drama about friendship and the human nature ^^ loved it! Nobuta, Shuji to Akira are the best =D a MUST see for any kame or yamapi fan =)
321.	Comments by ~ushi~ga~iru~ [Rating: 10/10] aaaaaaaaaaaaaah~ one of my all time drama’s will probably stay one of my favorites, it really left a lasting impression, and I know some people will say " another dumb pointless jho0nnys drama used to sell CD's" but I don’t care, its a really cute sweet silly offbeat drama, with a colorful cast of characters form shuji a cynical popular student who only fakes his happy go lucky cheerful attitude to glide thought school to my favorite, the drunken acting akira, who has more depth and seriousness despite his spastic demeanor and nobuta, quirky shy, but dedicated to changing her self and showing appreciation to her "producers" this is a wonderful drama that plays off differently then others if your looking for a really mushy high school love drama, or a tearjerker about a kid with a terminal disease then this is nor your drama, but if your looking for a cute funny drama that reminds you of your wacky class back from high school and the little oddities of life then nobuta is for you.
322.	Comments by Hide/Takky [Rating: 10/10] love it to the bits... we were spoiled with 3 excellent dramas in the same autumn season... n this definitely falls into one of my all-time-favourite lists
323.	Comments by Raytrace [Rating: 5/10] Disappointing.
324.	Comments by sanna [Rating: 10/10] Yamapi!!! daisuki!!! This drama is so hilarious and I never knew that Kame was in it lol I really like Nobuta being so Nobuta haha
325.	Comments by Yukyou [Rating: 10/10] This is my first drama ever. I really enjoyed watching it ^_^ And I loved Yamapi as Akira. KON! ^o^v
326.	Comments by JunNoHime [Rating: 7/10] Creepy and quirky, but somehow unfulfilling...
327.	Comments by nikegurl [Rating: 10/10] I love this story very much...But I think this movie should be continue because I'm not so sure what is happening at the end of this story. Vote for Nabuta wo Produce 2....

329.	Comments by sakuratje [Rating: 9/10] Nice dorama about friendship
330.	Comments by Hanzo21 [Rating: 10/10] This drama is like candy.
331.	Comments by Nobita-kun [Rating: 9/10] Perhaps my favorite school drama. I was reluctant to watch it at first because the plot sounded like another formulaic ugly-duckling makeover story. But the drama is much more mature than that; it is really a story about friendship, loneliness, and the burdens of pandering to public opinions. The three young leads had superb chemistry and truly brought their characters to life. I wish this drama never ended. Don't miss this one! Nobuta power, chuunyuu!!
332.	Comments by gopro [Rating: 8/10] Pretty OK show IMO also. Show is kind of corny but entertaining. basically "Produce Nobuta", trying to get her to be the most popular in school. (Spring 06)
333.	Comments by ayachan369 [Rating: 9/10] Yamashita Tomohisa is so funni in tis 1. thumbs up
334.	Comments by pinkhairyfairy [Rating: 10/10] Loved the theme, actors, story.. awesome serie!
335.	Comments by cutina124 [Rating: 10/10] An amazing drama, that really developed on the quirks of humans. All the actors played a social issue, that dealt with human nature, or with problems in Japan. Watching this drama, made me not only happy, but made me really think. I love yamapi, and kame in this drama. They acted so well, and the main girl really played her part!
336.	Comments by niku [Rating: 10/10] I watched this the most times in a week... never got bored wth it

350.	Comments by MRStakahisa [Rating: 9/10] I LIKE THIS SHOW~ Yamapi was really cute! And Kame's really good in it as well. =D -People from NEWS- Yamashita Tomohisa: HE's sooo cute! I like it when he climbs stairs. haha.
351.	Comments by catlin_kay [Rating: 5/10] i hate shuji to akira in this drama.. but the beauty of Horikita Maki keeps me watched untill the end..
352.	Comments by inessalenin [Rating: 10/10] In retrospect, I also was a gloomy girl and bullied by classmates! But after I learn to sing English song, I found one achievements in high school life. Well, if there were popular classmates who could help me, that would be totally different!
353.	Comments by indayze [Rating: 10/10] So funny and great chemistry with the trio. Best drama to start with - very cute.
354.	Comments by jahvi [Rating: 8/10] I expected more on this drama than ever because there are two extremely hot guys!! I loved shuji and akira! they both are like the best couple pair to star a drama together! hehe. I was just a little disappointed at the ending. sad. I wonder if they will ever star together again?? Can't wait for their other dramas!! ^^
355.	Comments by MoonxBunny [Rating: 8/10] Even though this is in a school setting and with all the popular thing involved, the social life of students and all, it really teaches you something about slices of life people often forget. I love the unique plot and flow of the events, and the characters are just lovable. Currently this is the number one drama in my list. :D
356.	Comments by shiro-chan [Rating: 10/10] omg i speechless soo wonderful... their chemistry as a 3 friends is sooo good.. i wish i have friends like that
357.	Comments by K\|NK\| [Rating: 8/10] yamapi is so funny & loyal in dis show.. ^-^
358.	Comments by Strega [Rating: 8/10] I like the concept of this drama - three teenagers learning to help each other and developed a strong friendship. Played by three talented artors just make you feel for them.
359.	Comments by leigh1381 [Rating: 10/10] i love the storyline and kame
360.	Comments by Kitsuchi [Rating: 10/10] This is too sweet. Both Kusano and Shuji are sweet here and the story itself is sweet and awesome too. It's a bit touching too.. But I was really disappointed at the end though. Didn't expected it to be like that. But it definitely didn't change my view of the dorama. It's still a good j-dorama that I will remember.
361.	Comments by gathz [Rating: 8/10] friendship!!! great story...i cant guess its ending....
362.	Comments by nimadifob [Rating: 7/10] kame and yamapi really show off their skills in this drama. dont really care for the story, kinda simplistic
363.	Comments by jankuangel [Rating: 10/10] Shuji & Akira = <3 XD Kame & Yamapi were wonderful..loved it!
364.	Comments by ongrina82 [Rating: 9/10] Nice drama. I can't stop laughing everytime when Akira touches Shuji. Watch it! And not forgetting "Bye, Bye, Bicycle"...
365.	Comments by LivNagisa [Rating: 7/10] Very cute. Loved the relationship between the three main characters. Very surprised by Yamashita Tomohisa's acting. When Akira first appears on screen, I thought I'd end up punching my tv because he would be too annoying, but really Akira is the perfect lovable, goofy sidekick. I'd give it a higher score but I didn't like the portrayal of Shuji all that much and the first episode dragged.
366.	Comments by apithea [Rating: 10/10] Two thumbs up, friendship is such a great thing, especially when you care your friend sincerely. N it's nice to see yamapi as akira, unlike his role in other dorama which he usually look calm en cool.
367.	Comments by 206 [Rating: 8/10] Can they all really change? Youth grows up. Nice story but I can't stand the abuse. Makes you wonder if there is that much bullying in J-schools. Best EP was the one with the hanuted house.
368.	Comments by caoutchouc [Rating: 10/10] Very great drama!!!!
369.	Comments by miszJLi [Rating: 7/10] It's a good drama ^___^ kon-kon~! XD

371.	Comments by magnifikat [Rating: 10/10] one of the best shows ever! ii was hooked immediately with the first episode! Also, I was successful in getting another friend hooked! :P this is one of the most heart warming and delightful shows. i cannot recommend it enough!
372.	Comments by itsonlykat [Rating: 1/10] DIDN"T LIKE IT BECAUSE THE GIRL ALWAYS HAD HER HEAD DOWN, IT WAS TOO ANNOYING AND WHAT WAS SHE THINKING? I JUST DIDNT LIKE IT, THE PLOT WASNT THAT GOOD...
373.	Comments by Ezalor [Rating: 8/10] VERY cute actors in convincing and credible roles. Made me cry at the end. Story is ok, but it's not the main part about this. It's the true illustration feeling of 17-year-olds who are aware of (or maybe afraid?) about future and society. Makes me think about myself.
374.	Comments by ChibiMYO [Rating: 8/10] Abit stupid...
375.	Comments by senzaki [Rating: 8/10] Good
376.	Comments by shortmei [Rating: 8/10] I wondered how good it would be because of all the hype, but I really did enjoy it. Funny, light-hearted, enjoyable. I have no regrets watching this.
377.	Comments by tetsu69ers [Rating: 8/10] akira shock!! did they want to produce me??
378.	Comments by akane_MYV [Rating: 9/10] Also one of the best drama! I really love the character of Akira, he was soo cute! A little bit crazy, but that made me love him! If you wanna see a drama, where you really can learn much of friendship, then I recommend it to you. The time during class really really can be fun, like it was shown in this drama, so it made me a little envious, because my class is really terrible. So I loved to watch the scenes, where the three of them had a good time...jealous... You also would see some conflicts between students, so you really enjoy watching it, how they will solve it. I also liked the ending, it wasn't such terrible, but a little sad, I think it was a good solution! I also would watch it again, I really really wasn't bored watching this drama!
379.	Comments by Lifo [Rating: 10/10] Lovely Freindship ~ XD

385.	Comments by ScrappedShinigami [Rating: 7/10] This was cute and fun. I think because of all the hype I was expecting more than I got, but saying that it was still a great show. I had the theme song on repeat for months after watching it ^_^ Pi's character was absolutely adorable and completely different to any characters he generally plays, I was very impressed with his ability to pull it off. Many of lines I found myself quoting they were quite contagious. Bi-Bicyle and Nobuta Powa! XD
386.	Comments by gto_girlz83 [Rating: 9/10] an unique plot of japanese drama that i've seen

388.	Comments by Nanahara_shuya [Rating: 7/10] FUNNY and TEEN drama. i LOVE both Kamenashi and Yamapi !
389.	Comments by Puszedli [Rating: 9/10] One of my favourite dorama. It has some weird caracter, but that's not problem. It has a very good story line and a deep friendship develope between 3 peoples. It's touching and funny sometimes. I can highly recommend to everyone. The cast are great end the end song too. Thanks to this drama I began to like Yamapi.

391.	Comments by Blood_Berry [Rating: 7/10] it was surprisingly.... tolerable. LOL. I hated Tomohisa's acting on the first part -- it was just downright annoying. XD But he'll grow on you definitely...to the point that it's almost adorable. Haha. I liked the supporting characters better (the vice principal, the book store jiisan, the tofu guy, the young nobuta kid, shuuji's bro...). Story was simple but nevertheless entertaining. And daaang,, Kamenashi is sooo purdy. =3 ..and oh yeah.. that's the ghei-est ending ever. LMAO! XDDD
392.	Comments by petitchou [Rating: 6/10] This was all right. I honestly don't see why it was so popular.
393.	Comments by montanaky [Rating: 10/10] one of my fave jdrama! watched like 3 times, really meaningful n touching, seeing the friendship bonds among akira, nobuta n shuuji.. a must must watch if u haven alr ^^

396.	Comments by ShinYo [Rating: 6/10] The beginning isn't bad, but I started get bored after the couple episodes.
397.	Comments by Ikuko [Rating: 7/10] Very nice drama.
398.	Comments by Amika [Rating: 8/10] think in every school there is a nobuta.. so the story is quite interesting and real.. Maki did really well in the drama, look really different in it..
399.	Comments by KawaiiCat [Rating: 9/10] fantastic story, and YamaPi is great!

401.	Comments by uchi23 [Rating: 9/10] kame plays a popular boy that wants to be liked by every1 but at the same time has a great heart.. nobuta is another character who's relly interestin and unique.. Akira is defenetely a clown in this one and you cant help but laughin everytime hes in a scene.. a must watch!!!!
402.	Comments by uhno [Rating: 9/10] The first J-drama I watched, and the one that got me hooked. A really good drama! This is a must watch!
403.	Comments by attie [Rating: 8/10] Yamapee and Kame are very cute!
404.	Comments by srm9240 [Rating: 8/10] Not usually one for school dramas, but I thought this one was really well done. I really liked watching the characters grow and develop rather than just react to set pieces.
405.	Comments by Andro [Rating: 10/10] Yeah! I like how YamaPi and Kame are acting. I'm not a big Kame-fan, but I can tell, he's acting great. Horikita-san is good too, as Nobuta. And YamaPi is so so funny as Akira. XD
406.	Comments by onigiriman [Rating: 7/10] I'm not sure I understand why this is an award winning show, but then it is heads and shoulders above Hana yori dango. At least the bullied is redeemed, and the bully.
407.	Comments by Keru-chan [Rating: 10/10] I really like it very much, because I can sympathize with the characters very well. They're all so different and have their different strenghts and weaknesses. That's how they help each other. I really like that about it. When you watch it you really have to like those three. Akira shock x_x It's so touching in the end >.<
408.	Comments by xxSweetDreams_bby [Rating: 10/10] This is one of the first dramas I watched. This was pretty much what got me interested in this whole jdrama thing. I loved it a lot.
409.	Comments by miia [Rating: 9/10] Really funny performance by yamapi... he totally almost cracked my ribs with all his kon kon performance...
410.	Comments by deathangels [Rating: 7/10] its very interesting at the beginning, but this drama just like dont know what to do next, i just felt asleept at 2 last episode, just want to know how it end, ending is very bad. dunno why many ppl said it good drama.. coz the beginning till middle of it interesting, its quite recomended.
411.	Comments by kawaiine [Rating: 10/10] my favourite!!!
412.	Comments by Rika Akana [Rating: 8/10] When I watched 1st & 2nd episode, i feel little bit bored but after that it's interesting b'cos i like to watch kamenashi kazuya & tomohisa yamashita. They are handsome. I like to watched the video clip of the OST and i watch it over & over. They are good dancer & it's a nice song.
413.	Comments by kou [Rating: 8/10] Akira(yamapi) initially seemed dumb n gay. but surprisingly he is e smarter,sympathetic n understanding compared to shuji. looks n actions can be decieving! but oh man..onli a cute guy lyk yamapi can bring out Akira's duo personality.
414.	Comments by k4g0me [Rating: 10/10] I like teen dramas like this, no romance, but I dont think it was really necessary. Tomohisa really shined in this one.
415.	Comments by Yekai [Rating: 10/10] Superb ...
416.	Comments by Okojo [Rating: 3/10] Boring.
417.	Comments by PaperCaged [Rating: 9/10] The first drama I ever watched, and Akira still remains one of my favorite characters. He was weird and hilarious, Shuji was cool, and Nobuta was adorable. It was kinda the clich� 菟opular guy takes a girl who gets bullied and makes her popular� show, but it was a lot of fun to watch nonetheless.
418.	Comments by JackClark [Rating: 10/10] I love this series. Maki, Erika and the two boys acting is great.
419.	Comments by ja yakusoku [Rating: 10/10] LOL, i almost cried when kame was just walking to school alone ><;; LOL yamapi was funny xDD maki was awesome! and kame was ^-^v
420.	Comments by nishishi [Rating: 9/10] A excelent dorama... I really liked to watch Okada Yoshinori as a teacher... (damm... he's soooo funny!!!) And the trio (kuzuya, yamapi and Horikita) has an increditable chemistry in this dorama... they work really well together.... Very original... the plot is marvelous.... and the ending is also unexpectable...... Really nice...!!!
421.	Comments by Kisshu [Rating: 8/10] Adorable

430.	Comments by Faithmemory [Rating: 9/10] I love this drama... and i love kame! the reason i watched thing drama... c0z i wanna see kame!!!
431.	Comments by sadacori [Rating: 8/10] This is a really great drama about friendship despite the difference in school status. Popular Shuji befriends not-so popular funny guy Akira and Kotani (Nobuta), a strange, withdrawn girl who gets picked on constantly by her classmates. The strong bond that they have between them starts off from Shuji and Akira deciding to be Nobuta's "producers" in order to make her popular. What started off as a game of sorts, results in a true friendship.
432.	Comments by NuOy [Rating: 9/10] well , good story.
433.	Comments by Aysha [Rating: 10/10] THE BEST DRAMA THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN Y__Y
434.	Comments by aoiharu [Rating: 10/10] This is one of my fave dramas ever. I think it's more than just your average school drama. The story has many memorable moments and where else can you see a chara like Yamapi. ^^
435.	Comments by helicoptersky [Rating: 9/10] Reasons to like Nobuta wo Produce 1) It's about friendship, frieeeendshiiip wut. 2) Akira flailing down the stairs is A++++, 3) It's easy to see yourself in Shuji. Rly. 4) Nobuta Power! Enter, 5) Seishun Amigo is a brilliantly catchy song, yes? 6) KON! Kusano Akira is easily my favourit-est drama character ever.
436.	Comments by Jhvx [Rating: 8/10] Very good dorama, nice ending which tells you the importance of friendship!!! I think it's a bit overrated but it is not so bad, the plot could be better and the cast is very good, with Kamenashi Kazuya, Tomohisa Yamashita and Horikita Maki
437.	Comments by abbyneesan [Rating: 10/10] One of my favorite dramas of all time!!!! At first I didnt think it was gonna be too good because the first episode wasnt really a grabber, but I'm glad I kept watching! Kame, Yamapi, and Maki are amazing together and the drama was just so funny and touching...really an awesome series, which I definitely recommend to anyone!
438.	Comments by jessen100 [Rating: 10/10] Great characters,especially akira. great story, and hilarious. i love this show.
439.	Comments by masaki-chan [Rating: 8/10] It's great!!! I love it. Action have place at school, so I didn't want to see it, but when I read notice about this drama I made another decision. Shuji-kun is HOT:)) OST for this serie is very nice:))
440.	Comments by sugar_pain [Rating: 10/10] Super funny and cute! I love the story, and the actors are great!! Specially Yamapi kon Really a must see, love it!!! And the end is cute too! Nobuta Power!~ Chyuu Nyuu!!~
441.	Comments by Beniesda0407 [Rating: 10/10] My favorite youth story!!! Acting by everyone is great. Nothing is predictable, everything about this drama is unique. I wanted a little romance in the ending but... well, friendship is more important I guess. Still, beautiful for me! I would like to have a part 2, pleasssseee!
442.	Comments by beaboszi [Rating: 10/10] My absolute favourite!!! <3<3
443.	Comments by Takashi [Rating: 7/10] lol.. some part were funny, good drama! they changed the life of the girl thro8ughtout high school!
444.	Comments by iamwil [Rating: 10/10] Funny and great comedy all the way. What was the best about this drama was that you really cared for the three, and you can see them grow and develop. From situation and circumstance, they grow a friendship for each other that few of us will ever have.
445.	Comments by Lulurz [Rating: 9/10] this is one of my favorite dorama maybe because I really didn't have any expectation when watchin this~ actually after epi 1 i thought it was just OK~ and thought "what's with Yamapi acting all drunk and stuff??" anyways.. i never really liked Yamapi and Kamenashi~ but then this drama is wittily scripted and touches many aspects of youth and growing up~ as well as frendshipand stuff~ even tho they are serious topics ~ the script made it in a funny and goofy way that can make u really into this drama~ not to mention Yamapi did a really good job being the funny akira to relieve the seriousness of the topics~ this is his best drama imo~~ the KON KON and Nobuta Power enter was really classic haha also the theme song is addictive haha
446.	Comments by Sabaku No Amber [Rating: 9/10] This Dorama is the third and so far the one with most cliff hangers...but it is by far the most intricate and interesting thing I have watched.
447.	Comments by supermulet [Rating: 10/10] one of my top 3. A so unusual view of friendship... Love the way the actors play, and the atmosphere... deserves watching
448.	Comments by mace63 [Rating: 10/10] Love it.It's really touchy and about true friendship. But I would like ending to be more fulfiling.
449.	Comments by zhirong [Rating: 9/10] A very nice drama. It teaches a lot on friendships. I liked the acting by Yamapi and Pori-chan in this drama. They reflect the characters really well.
450.	Comments by inamoto_yoi [Rating: 9/10] funny.
451.	Comments by loly [Rating: 8/10] Yamapi..so funny..hahaaaa..^_^
452.	Comments by kacang [Rating: 6/10] wth so so so so cute
453.	Comments by moeru_h [Rating: 9/10] Great storyline and theme. The dramatic scenes were really effective. The 3 actors were all so amazing! Esp. Yamapi. Very versatile. So different from his character in Kurosagi but he pulled it very well.
454.	Comments by dirtypink [Rating: 10/10] Touching! Laughs and Fun--- though it was Touching!
455.	Comments by oldasianguy [Rating: 6/10] If you are into pretty boys and girls who are Idols, you will like this show......I thought that the acting and the plot were just average.... except for Horikita Maki..who did an interesting job as the outcast....
456.	Comments by Chris_Ito [Rating: 10/10] I really like the plot of the story. It's because that have to be me in the past.I really looked like shuji in the past.. But most of all, I like his character who always care for others just like himself, so when he doing something for other people, it's just like that he is doing something for himself.. (Loves other just like you loves yourself)
457.	Comments by testmachine [Rating: 9/10] very touching drama with great actors/actresses but i dont like the ending too much, it's not the typical happy ending but if they let it end like that, i expect a 2nd season :))) i like yamapi in this one, very convincing in his way to act the carefree but thoughtful person
458.	Comments by saDguRL20 [Rating: 10/10] oohh... yamapi nd kame... hehe.... actually pinanuod ko lang ito kasi nakakita ako ng tagalog sub... nacurious ako kaya pinanuod ko na... haha....
459.	Comments by lisajayne [Rating: 8/10] I watched after all those good reviews I read, so was bound to have high expectations.
460.	Comments by chokakoi [Rating: 8/10] Kinda interesting. Though not really my fav. But still enjoy it...
461.	Comments by chinz [Rating: 7/10] kinda good developement of the female lead... and she's quite cute... can watch if haf time...
462.	Comments by ducko [Rating: 9/10] It was a cool drama with important messages. Yamashita Tomohisa who plays Akira was hilarious; really good actor - the character is really cool. Horikita Maki who plays Nobuko or Nobuta was cute and really sweet. Lots of funny parts and cool Japanese culture stuff. [20070712]
463.	Comments by Rabu_Pi [Rating: 9/10] Just like any other Pi drama, I'm also touched in this one. Friendship really is a great thing. One can realize how important and how happy it is to have friends once you watch this drama.
464.	Comments by stewii [Rating: 9/10] One of my first dramas. Absolutely loved it. It has a great atmosphere, and the cast is great. A must-see for any beginner ><
465.	Comments by henrich012 [Rating: 10/10] awesome cast and music and storyline
466.	Comments by yioujuin [Rating: 9/10] I very nearly cried when I watched the first episode of this drama for the first time. Kame fits his role so perfectly, it's like it was made for him. Cute, wierd, and surprisingly honest, there is a real message of friendship, hope, and authenticity for everyone in this series. If you've given up and thought, "I can't change myself--I'll always be the way I've always been," this series is for you.
467.	Comments by MAYSEVENTEEN [Rating: 10/10] A veryyy great drama about FRIENDSHIP!!!
468.	Comments by marthapido [Rating: 10/10] love yamapi,kamenashi and maki!!! ganbatte ne..(>~)
469.	Comments by mangasuki2010 [Rating: 9/10] Great drama!!!
470.	Comments by mrose [Rating: 9/10] Favorite Jdorama EVER!
471.	Comments by NesHa [Rating: 10/10] This is another unboring dorama. Triple friends are very stick each other. I'm very pleasant when see those three (Kame, Yamapi, Maki). Their friendship is beautiful.
472.	Comments by kha [Rating: 10/10] Nice!
473.	Comments by zileas [Rating: 9/10] One of the few j-dramas I have seen where the young people and idoles actually shine. The three main characters act incredibly well here. Their chemistry is excellent. Interesting and funny practically all through the show. Interesting approach and it avoids all common traps, making it quite unpredictable. A good mix of comedy and drama with a message. Overall a funny and touching series. Definately a memorable must-see. Nobuta power... Enter!.
474.	Comments by oana1989 [Rating: 9/10] It was nice...that's how I discovered my favorite japanese actor:Yamashita Tomohisa,but sometimes it was a little bit boring.
475.	Comments by Space Cat [Rating: 9/10] A great portrayl of the life of three high school students and how they managed to become best of friends despite their different backgrounds.
476.	Comments by mr_dreamboy [Rating: 9/10] life is a game, very influential, and ov course worth watching! check out my dramas if you are interested in finding out which dramas are good, cause boy do i watch alot
477.	Comments by hanipazui [Rating: 10/10] Great story...i love it...and ofcourse kame and Yamapi were awesome...<3<3<3
478.	Comments by yurifly [Rating: 9/10] very touching...yamapi's akira is funny and annoying at the same time.
479.	Comments by mizz_evy [Rating: 8/10] It was a good drama=] weird though=]

481.	Comments by aku [Rating: 7/10] spend d time
482.	Comments by Daichi Kai [Rating: 6/10] Another Cinderella movie... BUT, I love the story only, not the overall... The story of a fake persona, the fake fool, and the hurt ones... Should you make yourself fake, then one day you would see yourself what you have become...
483.	Comments by JB3Action [Rating: 10/10] Kon Kon! Akira Shock! Nobuta Power Enter!
484.	Comments by alexad [Rating: 9/10] This drama is very touching. I really liked how yamapi acted as akira here. He is so funny!!
485.	Comments by pinoymutt [Rating: 7/10] Ok, now the series was pretty decent, but for meeting the ending sucked. After reading people's opinions, I could see the reasoning -- but doesn't mean I have to like it. I could really see a SP saving raising the score of this one. Again, the Yamapi - Maki pairing was good.
486.	Comments by jekert [Rating: 8/10] I just downloaded this drama randomly and although the first episode didn't get me hooked, i stuck through with it and watched the next episode. until i realized i was already nearing the last episode. i enjoyed this drama as it talks about high school life, where the battle between the popular and the unpopular never ends, where you find some of your life's bestfriends, where you start wondering about your purpose and the meaning behind life. made me wanna go back to high school. anyway, the only thing i didn't like about this drama was the very GAY ending scene where shuji and akira chase each other around the beach. that was so gay. hehe. my first horikita maki drama and i liked it.
487.	Comments by sword_of_heaven [Rating: 7/10] Akira (Yamashita I believe?) turns from annoying to actually likeable, much to my surprise. And all the characters seem whacky at first but that only made the drama fun to watch. First episode, I was like what??? but then later, I really started to enjoy myself. As for the main guy, he's a pretty good actor and certainly deserves being as popular as he apparently is. (Kamenashi I think?)
488.	Comments by sinned12 [Rating: 7/10] This drama is over rated but I still give it high points because of horikita maki's performance. Toda Erika even had a litte role in the drama as poor mariko.
489.	Comments by sonychak [Rating: 9/10] I really enjoyed this. A good show about friendship!!! Also Yamapi's character was cool. I liked him a lot. Kon Kon.
490.	Comments by Kugashira [Rating: 6/10] Good acting, although Maki's character was hard to stand. Didn't like the ending at all. Story kinda dragged on.
491.	Comments by Akyoku [Rating: 10/10] its all about friendship
492.	Comments by CrimsonNataku [Rating: 8/10] Overall, this drama was very well done; acting, plot, character development. The chemistry between Yamapi and Kame was excellent; they made such a lively duo. I love the single Seishun Amigo they put together.
493.	Comments by kireiyuhi [Rating: 7/10] This definitely wasn't my favorite drama, but it had it's moments. Yamapi was so cute though. His character Akira is super adorable.
494.	Comments by kirei_lanford [Rating: 9/10] a nice friendshi dorama
495.	Comments by sw33t_laydee [Rating: 8/10] I liked the plot of the drama. It was unpredictable so it kept me interested in what happened next. Pretty good.
496.	Comments by tiesw [Rating: 9/10] Don't miss it.

502.	Comments by gymahz [Rating: 10/10] I sooooo love this drama. I tawt it was going to be lame... but I love it so much.. because this is the first drama that I saw Yamapi, and head over heel with him
503.	Comments by nike_girl [Rating: 10/10] The first drama to notice about Yamapi, Maki and Kame... They got the chemistry in this drama. Love it!
504.	Comments by laudakwah [Rating: 6/10] Not too great.
505.	Comments by monmon [Rating: 6/10] The beginning is good. I like the idea of the story. But after a couple of episode, i think it's boring.actually i watch it until episode 4, and then i stopped for 2 months, then i continue to episode 5 because i think it wasted my money if i dont watch it until the end. LOL :D
506.	Comments by sirhin [Rating: 7/10] This was a very different look at Maki Horikita (I honestly didn't know she played the character until I looked it up) and her acting at the character was pretty good! Of course, she is one of my favorite Japanese actresses. Yamapi's character was also very adorable and so was Kamenashi's portrayal of his role as one of the popular students at school. It had a good plot, but honestly, it didn't keep my attention as much as some of the other dramas I've watched. I still recommend it as I know many people were much more hooked on it than I - so just give it a shot! It also has an original ending, and that has got to count for something. :)
507.	Comments by yourasthma [Rating: 7/10] to be honest, this show is quite slow paced, not many peaks and troughs in terms of plot, but for some reason I still like it. this show really is about friendship and thankfully, unlike other school shows like gokusen, any hint of 'cheesiness' is absent. i felt that the finale didn't resolve much but I guess there was no other way to end it. horikita maki is quite good here, I don't think I could hold my laughter, let alone smile, with yamapi's eccentric humour.
508.	Comments by elfmagic777 [Rating: 9/10] This was my second drama. I cried in the end. It's not that sad though. I wish there was more. Great story. I wond if this is a manga?
509.	Comments by yenchan69 [Rating: 7/10] started out stupid, but then I fell in love iwth the characters. When I cried in the 8th ep. I knew it was a winner.
510.	Comments by doriangrey64 [Rating: 8/10] kinda makes you feel sorry for Nobuta. =(
511.	Comments by pinkokoro [Rating: 10/10] COMPLETE. Great drama! Highly higly RECOMMENDED. If u hate the actors/actresses, forget it for a while, watch the drama cos it's a nice ride. It was ceatively and uniquely adapted..... every episodes were full of values, wacky scenes, humour and seriousness. It becomes a bit dark as it progressed but still entertaining and has its own humour..... everything was directed nearly perfect. U got to love the episodes, the scene and definitely Akira wacky character, somehow hate Shuji's fake character but as the story went on began symphatizing him... You will love the friensdship between the 3 lead character... u'll love how each message is brought into screen.... it's not a plain, repetitive, same youth/school based drama, it's something different that deserve at least a watch, It's a pity to miss it, it's a great drama that deserve recognition. GO WATCH!!
512.	Comments by andreu [Rating: 7/10] entretaining, but...not touching, not even a tear poured
513.	Comments by hoshi2307 [Rating: 10/10] My current fave drama. Watched it 4 times already and still not bored.
514.	Comments by marspeach [Rating: 9/10] Good story about friendship and beautifully filmed. Also probably the only drama that features good acting from Kame.
515.	Comments by tzeche [Rating: 10/10] love everything about this drama. made me a yamapi and maki fan
516.	Comments by Mega-L [Rating: 9/10] really great story about friendship, Akira was funny, and Nobuta (Maki) is one of my fav. female actors, although they ugly her up in this series she's usually very beautiful.
517.	Comments by 七 [Rating: 10/10] sugoi .....
518.	Comments by zoqh [Rating: 6/10] Same story, same dramas! Oh its so boring! The only cool thing in this drama are Nobuta Powerrrrr and Yamap! :p
519.	Comments by FallenFantasist [Rating: 10/10] This drama is very cute and touching. i loved it!
520.	Comments by docalion [Rating: 10/10] VERY TOUCHING!!! this show really presents the ideal relationship and perception of FRIENDSHIP!! be sure to watch this with your dearest friends!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 YAMA-P!!
521.	Comments by xayaxceresx [Rating: 10/10] Absolutely LOVE this drama. I can watch it OVER AND OVER again! The actors and actresses are great and the story plot was so amazing! It's hilarious yet also sad and touching at the same time. The ending was a tear jerker.
522.	Comments by WokieTokie [Rating: 10/10] Nobuta Power Enter!!! Kon... Akira Shock... Tomohisa!! Kazuya!! Maki!! I just dont agree with the ending though...
523.	Comments by aimare [Rating: 7/10] Despite Kame and Yamapi, this drama failed to keep my attention.
524.	Comments by gluttonestpalaka [Rating: 10/10] heartwarming,funny and inspiring..
525.	Comments by Aiko426 [Rating: 8/10] 8.) The eight Dorama. The story is about a girl who is bullied. The girl, Nobuko or Nobuta is played by Horikita Maki (Hana-Kimi)
526.	Comments by hyun-ae [Rating: 10/10] cool drama
527.	Comments by akibakenji [Rating: 9/10] Very memorable performances from the 3 main characters (Yamashita's performance especially...his quirky character was hilarious). Its got everything that makes up for a perfect J-drama formula. I loved the whole "friends" theme, and the fact that this drama swayed away from the typical theme of love. Horikita pulled off an excellent Nobuta, and Kamenashi fit the part well too. This is definitely one of my favorites, but doesn't get a perfect score because I wasn't a huge fan of the ending. Not going to spoil anything, but it was unnecessary IMO and the drama could have lived without it-- you could tell some parts of the drama started to drag with the ending.

531.	Comments by Maiuuri [Rating: 10/10] I absolutely loved this JDorama it made me laugh through out and even imitate Akira's Nobuta Power dance. Brilliant!
532.	Comments by TakumaSan [Rating: 10/10] Akira SHOCK! =)=) funny drama great acting =)
533.	Comments by kaitosan20 [Rating: 9/10] Akira Shock, Kon Kon..yamashita tomohisa is the best it was so funny and sad at the sametime. yamashita is my fave actor.
534.	Comments by lillifee [Rating: 9/10] Yamapi as Akira... ^^ enough said....
535.	Comments by epin8 [Rating: 10/10] This was the first jdorama i've ever seen, which enabled me to watch many more. I have to say this is one of my favorite drama's. The acting is superb, especially: Yamashita Tomohisa and Horikita Maki. The friendship of the three main characters is real and pure, not based on things that really don't matter. Their acting made it look and feel real. The ending was really sad, because I wanted them to stay together. This is a must watch, if you can still identify with high school students, or want to go back to those younger years ;)
536.	Comments by konkon [Rating: 10/10] kusano akira is so real....love yamapi!!!!!!! his acting is thousand years ahead compare when he was in Stand UP
537.	Comments by dreamer10231 [Rating: 7/10] it's okay...
538.	Comments by Rokugatsu Ken [Rating: 7/10] nice 3 friendship. Umai
539.	Comments by suomi90 [Rating: 9/10] perfect ^^;
540.	Comments by kaily [Rating: 4/10] Not the worst drama, but I don't like it so much. I watched just because it was in the toplist. But I put it cca. in the 40.place from 50...
541.	Comments by crvn107 [Rating: 9/10] This is the first drama I've watched this year since stopping for a period of time. I found it under the top 50 dramas voted on this site and I must say that I disagree with its ranking; it should actually be higher!! The cast is good and acting is generally convincing. A worthy drama to watch indeed.
542.	Comments by dokaben [Rating: 10/10] This continues to be my all-time favorite drama. I admit it's not for everyone. Three high school students become unlikely friends, yet this is far from your typical high school drama. It's quirky, with the sort of characters you'd find in a Wes Anderson movie. It's deep and surreal, with the sort of musings on life that you'd find in an episode of Northern Exposure. If these references mean anything to you, you'll definitely love it.
543.	Comments by hyde1803 [Rating: 9/10] 1st impression : what IS this dorama?!!! 2nd impression : wow it's kinda cool,, 3rd impression : maan,this dorama ia full of lesson of life COOL!!!1

547.	Comments by room304 [Rating: 9/10] one of the very best dramas i've seen so far. Highly recommended
548.	Comments by onie [Rating: 10/10] really loved this! i liked the story because it's not about romance but friendship!! has many insights too! my fave character was Akira! hehe.. and he became became my crush after watching this.. hehe..
549.	Comments by ginger ale [Rating: 9/10] Yamapi's laid back and cool acting as Akira shock!!! made me love this drama. Kame was unusually skinny that I got distracted about his role here. Maki's soft beauty was sadly hidden by the messy hair but she was adorable. Friendships that endure especially among outcasts in school is an endearing theme for a drama.
550.	Comments by Iza_Yanti [Rating: 9/10] Diz is the drama abou Freindship!! The best drama about friendship. Even i watched YamaP for the 1st time in Dragon Zakura, but i start to like YamaP in diz drama. He is so like drunken guy. kawaii, crazy n kakkoi. yamaP not control his 'coolness'.. so like him on diz drama. shuji also really good on diz drama, talkactive and nice talker. Maki-chan? i feel like my neck really hurt to saw Maki-chan alway let down her head. diz drama was really sugoi. the actor and actress are really good. The director was good to direst the camera view, lightning and oher situation.

552.	Comments by Orenjideisu [Rating: 9/10] There is a perfect balance between comical, funny and touching parts in this drama. Plus, a very unique plot. I can thoroughly recommend it!
553.	Comments by poopiefish [Rating: 10/10] My all-time favorite. This drama starts out pretty dark, but towards the end it became so heartwarming and touching. Nobuta wo Produce explores many themes, such as friendship, trust, conformity... that are very easy to relate to. It is meaningful, yet not cheesy at all.
554.	Comments by Filah Mohidin [Rating: 9/10] yamapi n maki..love u both!!YAMAKI>>>YAMAPEACE!hope to see both of u acting in new doramas together...KUROSAGI dorama is much more better..but still i like nabuta wo produce though..hehehehe
555.	Comments by Amano_Tsukiko [Rating: 8/10] What can I say. I like wierd girls. The main problem is the ending. Maybe the creator is thinking of making another "wo produce" in the new school but I prefer it to end at the second last episode.
556.	Comments by -Yuuki- [Rating: 10/10] Just love his one. It's so good. <3
557.	Comments by ABINTRA [Rating: 8/10] An excellent drama! I was turned off during the first episode, but stick with it -- by the end, I was begging for more episodes and had become extremely emotionally invested in the characters and their relationships. Unique and memorable.
558.	Comments by snow_san [Rating: 7/10] Some episodes better than others.
559.	Comments by Hamano-Itoe [Rating: 10/10] love this drama!! kame and yamapi were great in it!! so was maki! Great storyline...but i wish nobuta would have ended with someone!! but it was still a great show!!
560.	Comments by aliceeatcow [Rating: 3/10] It was fun seeing Yamapi act like a goofy spaced out kind of guy but then it was a little too formulaic and dry.. I really don't think there was much to this dorama besides starpower and it's really overhyped. Drags on, gets hard to watch. But one episode I really liked was the haunted house one with the mirror.. probably the best part of the series.
561.	Comments by Jumpdiva [Rating: 9/10] This had to be one of my favorite roles done by Horikita Maki as Nobuta. This is a story about a popular boy and a...dork..who decide to help a girl that is constantly bullied become popular. I loved this story and expected so much from it, however the ending was greatly disappointing. DX
562.	Comments by HanaChuu [Rating: 8/10] Very good drama :] A little more romance would be great, huh?
563.	Comments by JuLy [Rating: 7/10] Just luv it!
564.	Comments by weirdsally [Rating: 6/10] This was an ok drama. It wasn't phenomenal but it was fun to watch. The ending was really weird though, I have no idea how they came up with the ending.
565.	Comments by animefreak101 [Rating: 10/10] im pretty sure this is my favorite drama....i can't really think of any other that i like so much like sad and romantic and funny at the same time which is really hard to find plus i loved all the actors :D kame is so cute and maki-chan is such a good actress :D I love nobuta's little smile it was so cute but i have to say my favorite actor was of course Yamapi blushes I LUB HIM!!!!!! he was so cute and funny!!!! he really kept it entertaining I always loved watching what he would do next
566.	Comments by sebmiller [Rating: 8/10] This is such a feel good drama, the characters are very well developed
567.	Comments by Sayamcr [Rating: 9/10] I really liked this drama and I loved Yamashita Tomohisa`s caracter "Akira" he was funny:) but I also liked the friendship betwen those three:)
568.	Comments by azngelique [Rating: 8/10] friendship weighs more than love.. <3 kame & yamapi..
569.	Comments by russia [Rating: 6/10] its more for fans of the male stars
570.	Comments by jey92 [Rating: 10/10] <kon kon> and <Nobuta Power Enter> are the popular quotes in this drama.. Love the connection between Kame, Yamapi and Maki..
571.	Comments by Nat [Rating: 7/10] It ends exactly the same way it beggins.. a little pointless. The only point in favor is Yamapi, never thought this guy would be so cool.
572.	Comments by nurul addina [Rating: 10/10] the japanese drama ever!!! love kazuyamaki!!!
573.	Comments by karmanova [Rating: 7/10] good! really liked it! not a big fan of yamashita but he managed not to get on my nerves here
574.	Comments by baddogsawamura [Rating: 8/10] 1 of the best !!!!
575.	Comments by kimjj33 [Rating: 10/10] The three of them are hilarious.... *kon. As the each episode goes on it gets better.
576.	Comments by csweet [Rating: 9/10] Excellent aside from the lame ending.
577.	Comments by m3xoxrawks [Rating: 10/10] SO FUCKIN hilarious..!!
578.	Comments by UsopSama [Rating: 9/10] Kotani is a gloomy high school girl who is always the target for bullies. The story revolves around the lives of two students as they attempt to make this girl popular. The entire series is very solid; I really can't find any flaws. From beginning to end, the story continues to be evenly paced. The acting is also superb. Not to mention, there is a nicely constructed plot twist.
579.	Comments by ellia [Rating: 8/10] 8 point to Kame & YamaPi. Otherwise - boring, strange and confusing. And the end can be read two ways (IMHO): dissappointing (I pity N. whom was left alone) OR yaoish (I'm old slasher as they go and fan of both Kame & YamaPi - I prefer to think this way)).
580.	Comments by kichigai45 [Rating: 7/10] Favorite: Cute
581.	Comments by meri_anne_kiki [Rating: 10/10] It's such a moving drama, I recommend it a lot, you can watch with brothers, sisters, friends, parents, and everyone will enjoy it.
582.	Comments by misaki697 [Rating: 10/10] props to akira's actor ("yamapi") for being so versatile in his roles, only previously seen him in Kurosagi. his character was so different i didnt recognize him until a couple episodes in! this drama was really good though! horikita maki was great as usual! the 3 lead actors really made a dynamic combination! a must-see drama for everyone!!
583.	Comments by delaciel [Rating: 8/10] This is one intersting drama. The characthers are very unique. Each episodes touch me. I loved the ending. Friendship is everything..
584.	Comments by Sharpnel [Rating: 10/10] I really like watching this. There was a lot of emotion in it and really got me thinking about so many different things. It really is a beautiful series :)
585.	Comments by carina4 [Rating: 10/10] This was actually one of the first j dramas I had ever seen, I didn't even know who yamapi and kamenashi and Horikita was! But I thought it was very good, even today I think it's sooo good. I hope shuji to Akira come back <3
586.	Comments by Dark^3nforc3r [Rating: 6/10] pretty normal.. not really interested all the way.. Horikita Maki did not shine at all in this one.. lousy character she got there..
587.	Comments by oonqy [Rating: 6/10] personally, i think is quite slow and bored.. yamapi is the one that liven up the drama. However, the last epi is well-shot.
588.	Comments by kevino2770 [Rating: 8/10] good but repetitive
589.	Comments by EstherM [Rating: 9/10] Yamashita Tomohisa's (only) master performance as the seemingly drunk Akira. Even the other JE boy, Kame as Shinji, does ok. Wonderful little school stories about two boys who try to turn ugly duckling Nobuta into a popular girl. This is a nine but for young teenagers :-)
590.	Comments by elfgeek [Rating: 6/10] I guess I would've liked it more if I was still in high school. A bit cheesy.
591.	Comments by siowchan [Rating: 7/10] Unique. Class of its own.

602.	Comments by outlaws0025 [Rating: 9/10] very very enjoyable drama about 2 boys who's trying to make a girl popular
603.	Comments by 菜奈子 [Rating: 3/10] I do not understand how this drama gets such high praise on this site. I watched it, I perceived this drama to be an attempt to go past social norms: a popular guy that feels he's a fake, a weird guy who does what ever he wishes, and a girl with complete lack of socialising ability all becoming friends. I don't know, I was not convinced. I finished this just because I was waiting for the big bang that made this drama "great" as people say. The ending was absolutely revolting, but this drama was watchable therefore I give it a 3
604.	Comments by Kuro570 [Rating: 7/10] I think its worth watching, goes from being bullied to the most popular with help of two of the most popular guys who made a bet on her.
605.	Comments by jugatsu15 [Rating: 8/10] I am not into high school drama but I did find this entertaining.
606.	Comments by onextime [Rating: 2/10] the story wasn't good, i bought only of Kame n Yamapi

611.	Comments by banditkingg [Rating: 10/10] i love maki horikita
612.	Comments by Edson [Rating: 8/10] The story tells oabout friendship. First impression was boring, but lately i like it, mostly (in which episode i forgot) when Kotani said to Shuji"when you believe, miracle can happens"
613.	Comments by Sorata [Rating: 8/10] I loved this dorama because of the relationship between the 3 leads, Kame played my favorite character, much because i can relate a lot to that character and Horikita Maki did a good job too; but the best was by far Yamashita Tomohisa, at first he´s a little annoying, but then we can see how his weird way of acting his really meaningful, he´s the best character of this dorama by far(i think he received an award in Japan for his performance in this).
614.	Comments by MutinousWench37 [Rating: 10/10] My first Yamapi drama! And he was such a dork in it. LOL Such a cute, fun drama. Maki + Yamapi + Kamenashi = LOVE. I will always be happy to rewatch this one.
615.	Comments by Aozora86 [Rating: 9/10] It isn't the best drama, BUT I LOVE IT!!!!
616.	Comments by Pie-Chanz [Rating: 10/10] Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Hate HoMaki!!

618.	Comments by Ankh13 [Rating: 9/10] Kame and Yamapi's characters were hilarious during this drama. I absolutely loooved Yamapi's Akira. He really got into that 'Akira shock!' and Kon very well.
619.	Comments by tinyamaki [Rating: 10/10] I really love this one....I love the friendship of the shuuji, akira and nobuko.... I hope I had a high school life like theirs..hehe

621.	Comments by hanae101 [Rating: 10/10] GREAT!!
622.	Comments by chidori6 [Rating: 10/10] my first drama and one of the best dramas i've ever seen. maki-yamapi-kame are perfect together.
623.	Comments by dbesthair23 [Rating: 9/10] Definitely an awesome show, I think I watched this series straight one day with my gf if not 2 days. Great casts Yamapi and kameneshi alone is win.
624.	Comments by gaijinmark [Rating: 9/10] Great drama about friendship. Excellent performances from Horikita and Yamashita. Horikita's Nobuta is an unforgettable character.
625.	Comments by rei-desu [Rating: 10/10] I only know Horikita Maki and Erika Toda here..
626.	Comments by Pochnaden [Rating: 10/10] The drama's fully packed I must say. Humor, Off-romance.XD, Drama, Friendship.. all are infused greatly into this drama. That is why I loved it and will forever be etched in my heart.:) Nobuta's perspective of the world she's living in is totally admiring.:) Shuuji and Akira too, of course.:D
627.	Comments by kizi180 [Rating: 8/10] i love this but I did not like how its end
628.	Comments by iheartp [Rating: 7/10] bye bye bicycle!
629.	Comments by Bbbut [Rating: 7/10] good - though without Shuji's character it would be just an other school drama
630.	Comments by izu [Rating: 10/10] Shuuji & Akira ... Both, Yamapi and Kame were amazing. It's one of my fav drama ever.
631.	Comments by aramia [Rating: 6/10] I kinda feel that this drama is overhyped. But it is still entertaining to watch. And the particular scene where they had to walk through this horror haunted maze was quite heartwarming.
632.	Comments by nickylynn [Rating: 9/10] A great friendship drama. Kamenashi and Yamashita were awesomely good in this.
633.	Comments by HHND [Rating: 10/10] Best school drama I've ever seen. Funny at times but mostly touching and extremely well made. Kamenashi Kazuya's acting in this one was just perfect, it's as if the character was written for him. Yamashita Tomohisa's character is strong, though his acting is (like usual) not the best, he fits the role well. Makes me cry even when the scenes were meant to be funny. Their friendship was just that beautiful.
634.	Comments by pi_kame [Rating: 10/10] Probably best coming of age drama ever! I can´t put in words how I was touched by this wonderfull drama and its characters... The sub-plots are somewhat unexpected corny and weird at times (haha, the truth man xD), but it was well balanced with the much more serious parts of the story. There were even some scenes that made me cry (and I´m not much of a crybaby when it comes to movies or dramas <_<) The leading cast (Maki, Kame, Yamapi) was great, there was really much chemistry between them. Even if you´re not a JE Fan, you can´t deny that there was some strong acting coming from Kame (I think this was his best drama so far) and Yamapi (He´s incredible funny and dorky in this... normally I think that most of JE Boys are just looking stupid when they overacting, but in Yamapis case by playing Akira he has really created a unique and loveable Character ) and Maki... is just plain cute <3 Just perfect as Nobuta, I think no other actress in this world could play this character as well as her. hm, to finish this review I will say that the Soundtrack is powerfull, definitely one of my favorite drama OSTs. I even love the theme Song "Seishun Amigo" by Shuji to Akira (Kame and pi of course ^^), a cheesy piece of j-pop (and a karaoke evergreen) which enlight my days xD
635.	Comments by DareDaniel [Rating: 9/10] beautiful
636.	Comments by chazarst [Rating: 4/10] Highly Overrated. The only thing I liked about this drama was seeing Horikita Maki in a different type of role (other than the ones that she always plays).
637.	Comments by acg181 [Rating: 8/10] story of friendship, and love. I like the drama.
638.	Comments by gaston [Rating: 8/10] If it didn't start so slowly and end in such a weird way...
639.	Comments by Viirastus [Rating: 8/10] Akira is Yamapi's best character, I think. He's funny and lovely. The show itself is good too.
640.	Comments by CopsAndAutobots [Rating: 9/10] Yamapi was really cute in this. haha akira shock!! i was really sad when it ended. the ending did not satisfy me at all!!!
641.	Comments by polcoming [Rating: 8/10] This series is my first watching of Maki and Yamapee acting. Read though all the articles that these two hav improved a lot. I like this Kame Kame.:P
642.	Comments by ayehunny [Rating: 8/10] Funny and entertaining. It's a classic.
643.	Comments by pandora [Rating: 10/10] Great one, unsatisfactory ending
644.	Comments by ocha4ever [Rating: 7/10] i was not enjoying 1st-3rd episodes...they were not get me at all... but i get stick on it until the last one and i enjoy it... maki was so great,,her cast was so different, she can't smile here--compare it with Hana Kimi-- but i just hate the ending,,why did they have to be separated that way???? can they just enjoy their friendship after what they did by producing nobuta... i love the friendship that they make...sooo touching... i'd like to have "nobuta power" and the key chain (where can i find it????) LOL... hehe hehe
645.	Comments by ediith [Rating: 9/10] 5th Drama Watched
646.	Comments by awira apihori [Rating: 10/10] the most bestest drama that i've watched...this drama make me happy..n free..
647.	Comments by suerinn [Rating: 6/10] The plot is just naive. And the main characters are a little bit annoying (so is the ending song).
648.	Comments by Oba-chan [Rating: 10/10] Huwaaaa... love this drama.. I love the friendship or shuji, akira n nobuta!!!.. sugoi!!!.. but i hate the soundtrack.. Soundtrack: (shuji to akira): 6
649.	Comments by Mimori [Rating: 10/10] I loved this drama so much. It's definitely among my top 5 drama. The three different personalities of the main chara blend together and complement each other very well. The plot was very heartwarming and funny and could also teach a lesson about appreciating the differences in other people. I loved all three characters but Akira was by far my favorite, he was just such a sweet baka, though his personality was more of a "go with the flow" kind of guy than an idiot. xD Overall great series, great acting and great plot.
650.	Comments by d0npian0 [Rating: 9/10] This was one of the very first dramas I watched and when I watched it for the first time I loved it. After watching more dramas I wasn't so sure anymore whether this drama really was that good (school dramas tend to be shallow, the storyline is ridiculous at time, I know that at least Yamapi isn't exactly a good actor,...), so I rewatched it and I still liked it a lot. The drama portrays a makeover no only of Nobuta but of Shuji and Akira, too. The three of them don't really get along with others. In a way they're defective personalities who learn to know the value of friendship. Good stuff. :D
651.	Comments by harusamesarada [Rating: 10/10] I usualy don't watch koukousei drama. But I have to admit this was very funny thanks to Yamashita's acting. This is a great one you need to watch.
652.	Comments by JEaddicthellyeah [Rating: 9/10] One of the best dramas.
653.	Comments by Makii [Rating: 10/10] Loved this one, especially thanks to Yamapi and Kame-chan. KON KON!

31.	ilovetakuya Great drama for sure. very funny and quirky, yet explores some deep themes.
32.	cold_jade Really entertaining. And I seriously love Kusano Akira this character, so carefree and random, yet is very determined in producing Nobuko. I like how the drama have characters with totally reversed personalities, and how they agree and disagree on different issues. Also their point of view, opinion about the things around them. Lastly, I love Kame and YamaPi~
33.	aoi A different kind of high school kids stories about friendship. The plot is told in a funny way, accompanied with unexplainable occurrences which is just fun to watch. The characters are loveable and their interactions are the cutest thing. Shuuji, Akira & Nobuta are made for each other ^^
34.	Yuna kyaaaaaaaaaaaa el mejor drama k han exo!!!! Yamapi medio borraxo y Kazuya tamp esq ste mu serio aunq kiera aparentarlo xDDDD increible!!! genial!!!! y el ending.....EL MEJOR!!!!!
35.	Dorobou Really meaningful drama.
36.	saya317 I love this series because of its theme - friendship! There were times when it became really dark and just the perfect touch of drama. And the comdey of it lightened the mood perfectly. I absolutely enjoyed every second of it!
37.	sammyy003 what a beautiful drama. all about friendship. plus, yamaPi and maki looks cute. :D

50.	CenturyLover Haha drunken YamaP so kawaii! He really has skills! Kame is really good too, and you cant forget Nakajima Yuto>_< kawaii! Drama seems very interesting right now and I cant wait to see all of Nobuta!
51.	Chisa
52.	littlemissfab Love Yamapi as the crazy soy-milk drunk Akira.. Shinji is likeable enough. It's like the Japanese version of she's all that.. with the whole transformation thing and all.. but other than that I couldn't find any similarities.. hehehehe
53.	Miyoubi How interesting characters and good direction can make a common plot very enjoyable ^o^. And yeah, Yamapi is the best. 10 points for his drunk-like acting ^^
54.	tenshi01 This is such a great drama. The cast involved did a more did superb job, esp. yamapi ^^. The last episode was a little sad, and I definitely didn't expect it.
55.	Mao This drama gives off a light and fluffy aura, definitely shoujo manga in motion <3
56.	oluap A great drama and very funny I simply loved it from beginning to end! It is also a good relief between so many sad dramas out there.
57.	mmyy Nobuta is absolutely fun! It was charming and immensely touching at times, the friendship theme really got to me. The ending was highly satisfying too. I thought Kame was awesome here. He was natural and full of vigor and I could feel the excitement just watching him act. I wasn't that crazy over Yamapi's act though, but I grew to like him in the end too. His antics cracked me up a lot after I warmed up to him. But really, it was Kame who shone the brightest here. Everyone who likes a hillarious and sweet show centred on high school life should definitely check this out.

90.	inutikidude
91.	Rainee Akira as a irritating character you wun bear to hate and Shuji as a popular guy but yet lonely on the inside. With this pairing, the show is more lively and funny. Not to forget our dear dark and gloomy Nobuta~!
92.	staybymyside A cute and funny series. Relatable characters. And a great storyline.
93.	crimsonRED I love the story of their friendship, sooo touching. Yamashita Tomihisa as Akira is so lovable.

103.	pifernac the topic of this drama is relative commun.... but, the characters imprime a very special thing... Shuji, Akira y Nobuta tell us about their friendship and how they grow up togheter in the drama... is very beautiful...
104.	koridesu

107.	noodlefreak
108.	Ahiko
109.	cheery Nobuta was a really geat drama! In the beginning the show will makes you think that it's a really funny normal high school type of drama. But as it goes on the story was really a bit dark and went in depth of the friendship between friends. I was really surprise by this drama and Kame really protray his character as shuji very well. Also Yamap haha akira is just so funny!
110.	kawaiikitsune omg.... kame looks hot.... aww. he's so cute in the this drama. he has a full range of emotions in this. he's such a caring brother in this.
111.	evil_zai kame!!!! instantly felt a connection with shuji after the first few minutes. bwahaha. simple plot + complex characters + absurd situations + cute and good actors ( esp. kame) :) = a totally life-altering experience. (slight exaggeration) haha. ^_________________^
112.	Azumanga Daioh Fan Nobuta wo Produce has everything that a great drama should have: love, sadness, action, suspense, and comedy. Please watch Nobuta wo Produce!
113.	deleted_user Great drama! Highly higly RECOMMENDED. If u hate the actors/actresses, forget it for a while, watch the drama cos it's a nice ride. It was ceatively and uniquely adapted..... every episodes were full of values, wacky scenes, humour and seriousness. It becomes a bit dark as it progressed but still entertaining and has its own humour..... everything was directed nearly perfect. U got to love the episodes, the scene and definitely Akira wacky character, somehow hate Shuji's fake character but as the story went on began symphatizing him... You will love the friensdship between the 3 lead character... u'll love how each message is brought into screen.... it's not a plain, repetitive, same youth/school based drama, it's something different that deserve at least a watch, It's a pity to miss it, it's a great drama that deserve recognition. It can't be anything better (just that I hope the mushy ending part at the beach can be edited out XD)GO WATCH!!
114.	fuyuke i vote for nobuta since yamapi and kame acts in it and this show is really damn nice to wacth and everyone should give it a try. i rate it the best!

140.	nagashi The ending could've been better, but the show was so amazing overall that I had to vote for it.
141.	mana-chan sugoi!!!! i may be biased by the cast but the drama is worth-watching, even if you dont like school life-based drama. and u caneven see a great improvement on yamapi's acting skills n not to mention, kame's kakkoiness!! this drama is surely a stepstone for those two guys!! dakara, minna, grab this dorama!!!

155.	Susan
156.	shirey current obsession!! great cast and storyline!! kon2 !!
157.	dearlysaint I simply love this story. It reflects about friendship and etc. I really love the part where no one trusted shuuji except akira and nobuta. this is what real friends are. when there is nothing to trust about your friend yet you still trust him... you just chose to trust him because he is your friend. so touching!
158.	Majide Just possibly the most cutest and overly awesome drama EVER! Yamapi and Kame are so cute and Really good at their roles~so is Nobuta I like her a lot~It's a Must see drama!!! throws confetti words cannot decribe it's awesomeness~~

171.	hisu shuji to akira are so kawaiiiiii!!!
172.	yo-chan
173.	Aleema Insanely popular for a reason: it's good. The characters are not only unique but hugely entertaining. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks the entire series it worth it for Akira alone. Very moving, though disappointed by the ending, it doesn't ruin it all for me.
174.	odhie waa.. the story is unique lol.. i luv it,, yamapi is so cute there..^^
175.	andra mega not another high school dorama. this is different, this is cool. and i love Yamashita Tomohisa's character. :D
176.	netbreaker sugoiiii..shuji to akira to nobuta.....
177.	shooqie A rare dorama that tells about nothing but 100% friendship.
178.	domng The casting for this drama is great. Horikita Maki and Toda Erika is just so kawaii in the drama. Akira is a real funny guy, from the first until the last episode. It also tells us that Friendship is very important and we should appreciate our friends. : D
179.	xaxa best drama of 2005, what else reasons do you need? XD sooo funny.
180.	ron787
181.	momoko_ichigo omg the first time seening that grl she looked like the grudge ppl >.< scary buh she pretty cute love how kame acted & yamapi of course
182.	laramatsu One of the best drama that I've seen so far, about friendship and grwoing up with peer pressure
183.	lucy_monostone wahahaha YamaP!!!! Akira kon kon!
184.	k4g0me Fell in love with the character of Tomohisa. Charming, funny, cute and annoying. Keep me interested.
185.	blueeberry
186.	bitsandpieces although the drama has some weird parts which i can't explain ><, the storyline's good and unique. it explores friendship and every episode seems to have its values and meanings behind it. not those typical kind of sch drama that you would often see. yamashita definitely did a good job in carrying off the character in a fun and cute manner that liven up the whole show. the actress did just as well, was a truly convincing act as nobuta from her. GO WATCH THIS DRAMA!
187.	shoujo22 It was just like reading a manga. Well, almost. Having said that I really enjoyed it. Especially how they ran into/tripped over stuff all the time XD. It was so funny because that kind of stuff happens to the best of us. The characters were over the top and just all around entertaining. As far as the story goes, it wasn't too complicated. I liked it so I gave it a 9/10. Didn't give it a 10/10 because...well, maybe I should since I couldn't find anything wrong with it. Anyway, I enjoyed it. I had no idea that any of the Johnny's boys had roles in this mini-drama (since I don't know a lot about JE to begin with) unitl the very end of the series, so this is a totally unbiased vote here. I honestly enjoyed this drama for what it was...so yeah. It was great. That's all. Thanks for reading this.
188.	lilbabi1004 Jdorama Best Dorama 05 Award Winner!!!! Omedetou!!!! And I totally agree with the results!...i not only loved every sweet/emotional/humourous moment of it...but I loved the ending as well! (which can ruin a drama if done horribly)....I WANT TO BUY THE DVD SET BUT IT COSTS $165+ TT^TT
189.	Jhvx It would be a sin not to vote this dorama, definetely one of the best doramas I've ever seen, only after Ichi rittoru no Namida and Attention Please, it's a must see dorama
190.	xiaole Hilarious and cute. Lotsa Yamapi ♥.

200.	muffin707 One of a kind
201.	vega12 A great story of friendship. I don't know exactly why, but I found this drama to be particularly heart-warming.
202.	ogurin04 One of the most touching stories of friendship I have seen without becoming too sappy. It hits close to home on more levels than many other dramas. The three lead characters were all wonderfully cast and portrayed. The characters themselves were very interesting especially Shuji whose change touched me the most.
203.	aznasia * NOBUTA POWER ENTER!! I love Yamashita Tomohisa in the dorama and I thought that the ending was really weird but the WHOLE story was really really really really really realy good and kinda of taught me a lesson! xD
204.	extravale light as adolescence, it gives you the impression of sinking into another, parallel dimension where everything is possible, even being able to meet such an angel as akirachan.
205.	taibabi LOL~~!! this one is funny... syuji to... AKIRA!! XD i like how Akira acts.. and the story as well~!

245.	mitchyko i did know what to expect on this drama...i didnt even know the plot...but as soon as i finished watching the first episode i was hooked...i thought abt this drama as a funny and joyous portrayal of high school life...the bullying, the popularity that most of us has undergone...it talks so much about friendship and believing on the people that u love and treasured....the three main characters gave an excellent portrayal of their roles...well done and well crafted...made me cry in the end actually hheheh....this is one of the good ones...
246.	altec This is my favourite drama so far. There is a sensibility to this drama and such HEART that it speaks for itself. This drama tops my list. I Recommed it to anyone. 10/10

256.	AZNBryan
257.	NiikuraKaoru this drama.... was bad. slow and very pointless in my opinion. ill admit i watched it cuz kamenashi was in it, but even his hotness wont save this drama. do realize something, NEVER WATCH A DRAMA WHEN THE REVIEWS ALL SAY "THIS WAS GREAT, HE WAS SO HOT" they are 100% without a doubt bias. i didnt even finish watchin this cuz it was so slow and lame x.x
258.	Aysha THE BEST OF THE BEST

272.	MaoMoLin
273.	Organized Chaos Nobuta wo Produce was brilliant. Because of this dorama, I became addicted to the whole Johnny's Entertainment craze. Mainly because of Yamashita Tomohisa acting as Kusano Akira. He did such a great job especially with those add in lines. The story line was great and it wasn't just another boring high school dorama. Horkita Maki did an excellent job as Nobuko and Kazuya Kamenashi as Shuji.
274.	elinna AKIRA SHOCKED!!!

286.	AppleTree One of the best dramas in a very long time.
287.	Gork such a great drama with many great hidden messages about life....I loved Yamapi (Akira Shock!! LOL) and the friendship between the 3 leads was very touching/cute!! Kon Kon ^_^
288.	SmiLeeGirl
289.	187sakurai Horikita Maki is brilliant as nobuta. She alone makes this drama worth watching.
290.	Kawaii Kinomoto hilarious and cute and sad and happy all at the same time!! the cast has great chemistry together!! horikata maki is too cute!! and kame and P are just too sexy!! especially when they're together!! seishun amigo is such a great song!!
291.	shiroki I really loved this dorama - especially the characters. All of them had a really interesting personality, and their friendship was really touching.
292.	lesamouraifou
293.	keax Love the friendship elements.
294.	fallenknife This dorama is certainly going to the hallmark of fames and will remain as an evergreen classic that is still as enjoyable as ten yrs from now
295.	Mikari Loved it! The cast was awesome and the acting was great. The ending was so unexpected.
296.	Tokibaka
297.	klon22 I like this dorama, music ok, video ok, nobuta (maki)ok, good history
298.	Yukyou It's my favourite j-drama. I loved the plot, music and main characters. Akira is the best <3 This drama is really worth watching.
299.	Yamapifans Akira's "Nobuta Power" makes the drama a big success!!
300.	kkpryl kaMe did well in this drama...i won't ever forget KIRITANI SHUJI....such a remarkable character... the thing where you would want to hate him or love him at the same time..."his just a lonely soul" and he hates lying...but this world just won't forgive him for being true and all... thanks to Nobuta & Akira....Shuji was indeed "reproduced"... Kame acted well and has internalized the "shuji" character..that's how versatile he is!
301.	Nobita-kun
302.	Hanzo21 This is the best drama ever made!

306.	hmm_yeh This was hilarious. I wasn't fond of how Shuji looked, he was far too feminine for my eyes. But Akira is ridiculously adorable!!
307.	BOGCHI Could be boring at times but it has really become one of my favorites. The characters are really.. COOL.
308.	Patazilla This made me get depressed! XDDD I watched it at the end of summer holidays, totally catched in my own dream world and as I went to school, half way expecting good-looking guys as Akira and Shuuji I fell down a thousand feet! XDDDD~~~ No, but it really is great! Poor Nobuta at the end... But I wished I could be her! X3 With such lovely producers! XD
309.	akasagi nobuta is an interesting drama but in my opinion the most compelling thing about the drama is the characters...the characters are all lovable especially akira
310.	Sana1x2
311.	JAKQ Funny and touching. Akira was the best.
312.	Gao A great drama about school life in Japan.

333.	zephyrscarlet kame provides such good eyecandy and the byebye bicycle thing just makes him look so hot. don't understand why didn't he like mariko though. yamapi was so adorable with his crazy actions, yet awfully sweet when the time calls for it. BEST JAPANESE HIGH SCHOOL DRAMA EVER.
334.	Leenary I like it ^^ Because Yamashita is so~ cute in it... o.O
335.	elinovy One of the best asian series...it's all about friendship. And how to develop self esteem and self confidence with one's self. Yamapi and Maki are such a cute couple.
336.	morita Well, at first I don't like doramas..at least until my friend told me about this dorama... So I watched it and....WOW..!!! This dorama is really good..!! This dorama makes me change my opinion about dorama..and it changed me from the person who didn't interest in dorama, to be j-dorama freaks...!!! This dorama is great yeah...I really like kame's, horikita maki's and yamapi's acting... the story also good.. a must see dorama..!!!!
337.	akane_MYV One of the best jdrama definitely!!! Loving Akira......Akira-Shoock....Really like it!!

354.	Di@na Shuji to AKIRA!!! KON! I enjoyed this drama a lot..Kame and Yamapi played their roles just awesome..You just want to watch EVERY episode till the end.. YES it's worth WATCHING! Nobuta Power ENTER! XD
355.	thootie This is one of my best Drama...I laugh and cry so much...^^...
356.	FLOW
357.	obentou NOBUTA POWER.. CHUNYUU~~ kon XD I love this dorama just because of the moral lessons they teache viewers in their own eccentric way. Friendship is being able to cross over individual differences. Sometimes it's best to give up and let go. Even if you come to the lowest point of your life, it's not the end because you still keep on living. I learned a lot from this dorama. And I loved the Yamaki and Kamepi pairings <3 raburabu
358.	kawaiine love it so much!!! the friendship is so beautiful. best dorama i ever watched!!!
359.	trunkims Akira DOWN!! Akira SHOCK!! lol wonderful drama
360.	.k3NiCHi A great, inspiring tale of friendship and an interesting take on social hierarchies and popularity. Great performances from Kame and Yamapi. And of course Nobuta (Horikita Maki). NOBUTA POWER CHUUNYUU!!
361.	agp_frick I love this drama... I watched it in 1 day straight...!!! Yes, it's really addicting!
362.	miltz
363.	janas Reasons for voting? "Akira shock!" "Kon!" "Nobuta power chyunyu" ... Definitely one of my fav.
364.	pisa
365.	ssie who wouldn't love this sweet series (and yamaPi)?!!
366.	sword_of_heaven First episode, I thought every character was weird. In fact, I could actually identify better with Nobuko (sorry Nobuto) than the others. But later, they started growing on me, and besides, its always nice to see Cindrella type stories. Yamashita (the guy who has the role of Akira) was a real surprise because his character was one I found extremely annoying but then started liking the most after a while. You really get used to all those irritating things he did and the way he spoke. In short, the acting's pretty alright all in all and its a nice way to pass time.
367.	ja yakusoku my FIRST jdrama and this was the drama where i noticed yamapi<3 && kame:)<3
368.	kzzmenpool it really shows us the importance of friendship and how it can affect our lives. we can't live without friends
369.	xploring I'm re-watching Nobuta wo Produce again, just watched episode 3. I really like this episode. Sometimes I think that, if this wasn't one of my first jdoramas, I probably wouldn't like it as much. But every time I re-watched, I discovered something new, even if it's just bits and pieces. I was in a slump, this series has rekindled my interest in jdorama by a little bit again.
370.	Faithmemory This is my favorite drama!!!! i just love the story and the characters. Especially kamenashi!!!!
371.	aria_alice BEST DRAMA EVER!!...shuji, akira and nobuta was the best team ever!!...akira was so kawaii!!...kon...shuji was stilll...as awesome as ever!!....this drama is really funny!!....the pigs were awesome!!.....i wished there was a second season about the 3 re-uniting!!..it would have been a great hit..
372.	lola_stitch my fav drama all the time!!!yamapi look really damn cute...and he look totally damn cute with nobuta...i hope there will be nobuta wo produce 2!!!
373.	enrique_chen The first time when I watched the first ep of this dorama, I thought this dorama just an ordinary school life story. I was wrong! I think this dorama reflects the true story of today's Japanese youngsters: loneliness. Love Maki-chan's acting, though too stiff and too boring too watch. However, must be watched dorama!
374.	doubledown11 Excellent quirky story with a stellar main and supporting cast. Awesome soundtrack and beautiful camerawork/cinematography. One of my all time faves.
375.	khairun_anis
376.	jessen100 fun, i absolutely love the characters
377.	eiz1021
378.	lylasiangrl original story and very well done. Akira, Nobuta, and Shugi's roles were really well acted out and very realistic. Plot was progressed at a good speed, not too fast and not too slow, GREAT DRAMA!

380.	otko
381.	sugar_pain My favorite j-drama, along with 1 litre of tears! it's really funny and cute. Yamapi acts so well kon Love it so much!!! A must see <3 And the end is cute too!
382.	Zapper Maki Horikita is a good being Nobuta and i like Yamapi acting pretty funny, Kame is also funny and i like how the show went different from the novel, i'll say better
383.	murasaqui aah, the dorama that made me change my mind about yamapi. caught me completely off guard - eeevil! hehehe...i love it.
384.	zhirong Funny and meaningful drama on friendships. A must-watch! Fav Quote: What you believe may not be the truth but it becomes the truth because you believe it.
385.	kyon-kyon chan
386.	Lulurz I started to watch Jdorama again after like 4 yrs because of this!! it was so good because it was meaningful and smartly put with humour too~~ not to mention Yamapi was eyecandy ahah
387.	Shi_4 COOL!! KAME KAKKOI ne.... YamaP sooo cute.... it's a must see dorama!!!
388.	akira luver i juz luv this drama n it is very different compare to other school dramas...yamapi, maki and kame is just great in this and they have great chemistry...i luv drama that based on friendship than romance
389.	tzeche funny and touching at the same time...
390.	aina akanishi shujii.......kusano...nobuko...mi amigoo........

414.	warden life changing cute maki chan
415.	jekert I just downloaded this drama randomly and although the first episode didn't get me hooked, i stuck through with it and watched the next episode. until i realized i was already nearing the last episode. i enjoyed this drama as it talks about high school life, where the battle between the popular and the unpopular never ends, where you find some of your life's bestfriends, where you start wondering about your purpose and the meaning behind life. made me wanna go back to high school. anyway, the only thing i didn't like about this drama was the very GAY ending scene where shuji and akira chase each other around the beach. that was so gay. hehe. my first horikita maki drama and i liked it.
416.	Bodhi Great performances by the entire cast
417.	ryuuseigun yamapi and maki...duh...nobuta pawaaa entaaa...chuchu
418.	amekoi Great casting, great plot, great cinematography and great theme song---summing up to a total of greatness and quality piece of work! Wounding up with a highly satisfactory average rating of 18%, this drama is one of Japan's finest school-genre work of art.
419.	sylvanesti
420.	tobu A nice introduction for Horikita Maki to mainstream drama lovers. The ever popular Yama-p and Kat-tun's Kamenashi helps the drama rating to be put in j-drama history.
421.	Rizuki-sama Super Drama i've never bored watching it. waiting or the 2
422.	partn3rsincrime
423.	yic17 Beautiful drama full of emotions and lessons to learn from.
424.	frh88 the bestest drama eva~ (^^,)
425.	danicz24
426.	Spike83
427.	suzzy my favo in this show is Yamashita Tomohisa for two reasons. one is for his laughing because everytime he would i would and the second would be the fact that nuthing bother him until that girl showup and they stared to help her. it change after he cnfess that he love her to that "truth man" and now he cannot stop thin kabout her. awwwww however (mr. kool)Kamenashi Kazuya and (mrs shy)Horikita Maki was as great so yea can wait to many more from these actors
428.	AkuNoHana
429.	sweetmaenad
430.	na0mi
431.	ainnia kame n yamapi such a great actor.. friendship never ending!!
432.	natsukoi Even though Horikita Maki was a newcomer, she certainly gave justice to the title-character, "Nobuta". With Kamenashi Kazuya as lead actor and Yamashita Tomohisa as his wacky sidekick, the drama boasts a beautifully made cast which fit right in to the characters of the drama's wonderful plot. With "Seishun Amigo"'s success, noone can stop "Nobuta wo Produce" from being praised.
433.	nike_girl This is my fav drama among all japanese drama i ever seen. I like shuji, akira and nabuta in this drama. never bored although i watched this drama many times. From this drama i start notice Yamapi, Maki and Kame. Although its too late to know about their appearance in this industry, i will always treasure them bcos i like them very much. I'd like to see much from them in the future.
434.	someonethatsno1 rlly liked it, it was funny but it has good lessons as well. also different from the cliche girl and guy thing too.....
435.	okichura This drama is my favorite. I see it over and over. Especially I love Akira. He is eccentric, but so cute and kind. Everytime I see his kindness to Shuji & Nobuta, I feel warm. I hope YamaP & Maki will become a couple in some drama...
436.	kusaisaru My all time favorite. Kamenashi proves what a good actor he is and Yamapi gives a great performance too. Awesome chemistry between the main characters, great supporting actors, good comedy, and many touching moments (like the falling flowers scene..cool).
437.	Shareholdersequity1 Great chemistry and surprisingly good acting from the main cast. The main cast acted like convincing HS students and there are many scenes where you would just want to get in the action.
438.	Nomanymore 10/10 This is certainly the most memorable & meaningful school drama that I've ever watched. The storyline is not cheesy like others same genre but unique & brings a different feeling to the viewers. I feel very close to the trio & also their surroundings. I admire their friendship, no matter what happens, as long as they think of each other, everything is ok.. The drama is not only a lesson on friendship but also on many different sides of society, such as violence in school, racism, money, wealth, etc people feel lonely in this wide world, have to fight by themselves to survive; there's what friends for, without friends, they'd be lost their paths soon or later.. The cast deserves much appreciation & awards too. The trio Kame-Maki-YamaPi all showed their best performance here.. Especially Nobuta played Maki, I don't think anyone could play that role as her.. A MUST WATCH IN UR Drama LIFE!!
439.	eri-chan
440.	hoshi2307 Even though I am way past high school age, this school drama really amazed me. I am quite touched by the subtle friendship portrayed in it.
441.	i am seigo funny drama. acting was good by all 3 main chracters.
442.	eriza
443.	gulugutca yes..the combination of yamaP and kame was very awesome such that no other actors can perform like them..
444.	fatin_gurlz
445.	Tooru~_17
446.	LaCorneille
447.	DontKnockNewYork nice story plot and likable characters....yamapi as akira is the best...kon kon
448.	maidori loved the drama and all the quirky little actions akira does like kon kon and his flapping when we walks down the stairs
449.	Saito.Sama I thought that the idea for the drama was different and exciting. To watch Kotani get popular bit by bit was interesting and the quirkiness of the main characters was definitely one of the high points. However, the story was slow to progress and wasn't as emotionally intense as some of the other dramas I've seen. Overall though, a very good story, and I highly recommend watching it.
450.	Maiuuri Incredibly funny and touching, a brilliant drama to watch. the characters are also well presented and constructed. -\^^/ KYON
451.	dheng19
452.	Hallelujah Chance great drama...love yamapi as akira...aah...so cute
453.	A_rika Love the friendship theme. Loves YamaPi because of watching NoP because he is sooo hilarious!
454.	Bubbles
455.	kaitosan20 kame and yamaP wow that was so funny and good.
456.	blade123 It was my second jdrama and the one that made me a fan of Horikita maki. The drama had plenty of life messages and it was quite touching to see the friendship bond between the three characters. A great drama.
457.	Limes A very sincere drama which doesn't try too hard to impress. Great acting and chemistry between the three leads. Thumbs up.
458.	modesty81 A good and funny show!
459.	crvn107 This drama is heartwarming and the actors are convincing,these,coupled with my weakness for school life dramas,wham,I became a fan.
460.	echikun i like this drama sooooooooooooooooooooo much!!!!!!!! i realy mean it!!!!!!!!!!!
461.	infatuation21 :D:D:D:D~~
462.	onie i really love this one! full of insights and it's about friendship..!
463.	KRpanda absolutely funny had me going the whole time

466.	jed_ka A wonderful SchulDrama with much feeling! I fine the whole series with astonished seen, I have cried, laughed and with much excitement seen the end!, I would say that it deals with the everyday school problem and the school complex people! So, I recommend penetrate to the masterpiece! A masterpiece to be surprised!

474.	Pixelpaint The best drama i ever seen
475.	HanaChuu Good and funny drama :D<3 Me vote!!
476.	a_no the story is very very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
477.	pinkokoro Great drama! Highly higly RECOMMENDED. If u hate the actors/actresses, forget it for a while, watch the drama cos it's a nice ride. It was ceatively and uniquely adapted..... every episodes were full of values, wacky scenes, humour and seriousness. It becomes a bit dark as it progressed but still entertaining and has its own humour..... everything was directed nearly perfect. U got to love the episodes, the scene and definitely Akira wacky character, somehow hate Shuji's fake character but as the story went on began symphatizing him... You will love the friensdship between the 3 lead character... u'll love how each message is brought into screen.... it's not a plain, repetitive, same youth/school based drama, it's something different that deserve at least a watch, It's a pity to miss it, it's a great drama that deserve recognition. GO WATCH!!
478.	Rane
479.	Yola For a change a High-School-Drama without love-story, but a truly funny and nevertheless touching story about friendship.
480.	serm2802
481.	ainuru very good drama..but slow..
482.	kimjj33 Shows a great friendship bond and as the story progress you notice its not about being popular or being weird or being the lowest of them all. Its about the great time you have together and when you look back at it in the future you'll laugh about it
483.	m3xoxrawks all i can say is >>>>> NOBUTA POWER..!!<<<<<<
484.	hachikokokoro
485.	crazynorie_mania i really really love this drama..the main characters are cool...specially the eccentric character of yamashita tomohisa that made me laugh...very good acting..and the cool character of kamenashi kazuya...and maki-chan...this drama is really interesting,fun,and the best!!!
486.	bells One of the best doramas for me!
487.	halu_jiro akira is probably one of my favourite drama characters ever. found myself going akira shock, kon kon and flapping down the stairs for a couple of weeks
488.	Kahoka So good. I love this drama so much! And of course, Kame is so good looking as always =D

491.	chibichan The three cast did a really awesome job to make this dorama worth watching. I have the whole series and i finish watching it in just one night. i just cant stop watching, curious about what will happen to Kotani in the next episode. Well the ending not as good as i expected, but its OK, cause Kotani finally feel good about herself
492.	Shadow I love this series. Highly recommended!
493.	orientalcind4rella just gotta love it :]

524.	Nanaki For me, Nobuta wo Produce is one of my top favorites. It's soooo good! It's sweet, funny, great actors, shows true friendship...it's just GREAT! <3
525.	Mimori Among the sweetest drama I've seen if not the sweetest. All three characters are great but I loved Akira the most because while he was a complete baka, he showed a complete understanding of his two friends, I feel that he was the glue that kept Nobuta and Shuji together. Definitely worth the watch.
526.	hanae101 simple but deep
