Miura haruma played 2 characters, his acting as a samurai was superb but as a 'stupid' high school student was bad.

Totally enjoyed every minute of it. Miura Haruma is absolutely hapless as Mochizuki Kotaro, yet so stern and demanding as Mochizuki Kotaro samurai; he is truly one of the best actors of his generation. The rest of the cast are excellent as well; I was surprised at the choice of Shirota Yuu (Nakamura) but liked the contrast he gave his character: cool-looking guy but absolutely colourless, then growing into a strong character out of sheer loyalty to his friend. The story was sometimes a bit too fantastic, but it always had its comedic, heartwarming and exciting moments. The fighting scenes are beautifully choreographed. 9 episodes was a bit too short for my liking; yet I don't think they could have done anymore with the story. A definite must-watch!

This is really quite an interesting and funny show, much credit to the lead actor Miura Haruma for being so convincing as the peace-seeking high school student who switches modes COMPLETELY each time he get possessed by his samurai ancestor. And what a very charming, dashing samurai he makes! It's amazing that Miura could deliever these two very extreme characters so convincingly.

The storyline is rather ok, sometimes outrageously ridiculous and kind of pretentious (trying to be philosophical sometimes, but falls flat) but I guess that's because it's a comedy. I'm halfway through the show and enjoying every minute of it!

What an astounding, believable, wonderful samurai Miura-san portrays. And conversely, what an endearing vulnerable goofball of a high school student he evinces! Miura-san has shown himself to be a very versatile actor at his young age! This drama is fun and at times touching, as well. It is utterly enjoyable and absorbing!
