started reluctantly, but finished nice

The first I saw of Takahashi Katsumi was in Shomuni and the first of Matsuda Shota was in Meitantei no Okite.
I was kind of expecting Takahashi Katsumi to be grand, but I was surprised of Matsuda Shota's ability to portray Sabashima-san.
Both characters are Don Quixote in their own way and, more than that, one could see the two characters developing throughout the episodes.
Also the supporting staff is very good.
The cliches used did a very good job of embossing the huge gap between the street gangster and the otaku-like Shirota.
Hat down for the way this drama was shot and the camera movements.
The spanish style soundtrack added quixote flavor to it.
I would accept someone's complaint that sometimes the kids weren't so convincing that they were mistreated (dark joke), but I enjoyed the drama and I laughed each episode e2e.
It may not look like it, but this drama will Pow-Thwak-Bangbang! you.
