I just re-watched this drama this week after first watching it maybe 8 years ago, and I must say it was better the second time around! This was one of my very first J Drama's that I watched, so I was a newbie back then. Now a seasoned J Drama addict, I appreciate this simple and feel good story that has a sweetness to it that many newer J dramas are lacking.
I won't wait another 8 years to re-watch it, and you shouldn't either!
Endearing & hilarious

I enjoyed this dorama - it's quite heartwarming, extremely hilarious, and Nagase is really great here. I love how it's not a dorama created solely for the sake of fans - there's actually a plot going on, it doesn't end in typical fairytale fashion, and most of all it's endearing.

Amazing, a must watch.

It was the BEST comedy drama I watched. Ever, in my life. It even surpassed Gokusen. :)) I decided that Yakuza are cool, wether its Yankumi or Makky. :)) Was that the correct spelling? I hope I didnt get it wrong, sakura-something.:)) TEGOOOOOOSHIIIII. TEGOSHIIIIIIII. TEGOSHIIIIIII. He's funny here. :))
And I was completely rolling on the floor laughing, ROFL. @-|, when I saw Tanaka Koki, the dude of KAT-TUN that looked like he was going to beat some one up, admiring, sewing and wearing pink just for Makky. :)) It made ma laugh, so much, I kept laughing until I fell asleep on my keyboard. Yes... Those were the days. :))
He really does cook, clean and sew. Ta-chan. He can do all those industrious stuff. Unlike me. :)) It made me smile that Tegoshi had a some person properly love him. In all his drama's, he didnt have a girl around his arm. :))
I feel sad for Makky though. :( He's going to go to another school. Though, I think I want another season. :))
I give it a perfect 10 for the best comedy series.

Hilarious. Nagase does a good job as a dumb yakuza leader. The plot is extremely funny and silly that you can't help but laughing all the time! I didn't like the characters of Kashii Yuu and Aragaki Yui, though.

Nagase Tomoya is the perfect guy for a yakuza role! It's as though he's not even acting, it just comes so naturally to him. Seriously hilarious!

Not the greatest dorama with its rather ridiculous storyline and juvenile plots but entertaining nonetheless. Tomoya carries this dorama by providing much of the comic relief. Yuya and Koki however.....would've been better off if Koki passed on some of his aggressiveness to Yuya.....seems so ridiculously imbalanced as depicted. The rest of the cast was ok although there's definitely potential for improvement. My recommendation? Watch it for what it's worth and you'll get out a laugh or two.

Hilarious comedy and great acting. Loses two points for trying to become a serious drama in the last two episodes.

Funny one. Just couldnt imagine who'd be better acting as stupid but very hunky gangster than Nagase Tomoya ^-^ But I fins the other actors rather dull though, and Tomoya as usual was overacting it... hehehe though I like him but I always find his acting a bit pushy. But still, a funny show... worth ur time :)
very very good!!!

I am embarrassed to count how many times I have watched this drama. It is just so, absolutely, brilliantly, excellent - words are failing me at this point. Nagase Tomoya is no doubt one of the most brilliant actors I have ever seen. I have no doubt that he is the Japanese equivalent of Johnny Depp when it comes to overacting, and pulling it off as excellent acting. I don't think anyone else could've played Sakaki Makio the way Nagase did.
The supporting cast did well, and the chemistry between the classmates of Class 3-A was excellent. I didn't really get the hints of possibly love between Sakaki and Minami, but I'll let that pass as a little bit of silliness in the show - which, at some points, can get rather endearingly silly. Of course, this is balanced by heartwarming scenes aiming to get the show's message across that 'school is great!' But it doesn't get overly preachy.
Definitely one of the best dramas in 2006 - no, in like, forever!! I thoroughly believe Nagase should've won a Best Actor award for this; he has totally surpassed himself. Watch it, again and again and again and again. I swear you'll never get bored of it. I still haven't.
Love it so much!!!

I liked Nagase in this dorama better than Mukodono.. He's such a great actor - I'm quite amazed at how he can create such weird expressions... *oo* I like the scene when the gang members were all in the meeting and suddenly his mobile phone's ringing.. LOL great choice for the tone for such moment...

A story about the joys of youth and reexperiencing, or should i say experiencing, them at a later age. This is a really funny jdorama. I've seen it 4 times and would still love to watch it again.
Nagasa Tomoya's charm is truly breathtaking.
