Seigi no Mikata

Extremely funny, I have watched this for many times. Wonderful acting from shida & yamada yu, they're both funny.

Don't expect to find any great meaningful truths in this comedy but it is great fun. Yamada Yu and Shida Mirai's varied facial expressions are priceless. Sano Shiro and Mukai Osamu provide effective supporting roles as the down trodden Father and Husband/Brother-in-law in this tale of siblings.

Shida Mirai shows a certain comic mastery in SEIGI NO MIKATA. She's a young girl under the power of her beautiful, controlling older sister - whose unwillingness to compromise makes her a sister from hell. The plot is often inventive, but Mirai is laugh-out-loud funny one scene after the next. She's so amusing that it's clear the director made every effort to include her full repertoire of expressions. Mirai is best noted for dramatic roles in both films and dramas (including the acclaimed KABEI and the remake of HIMITSU), but that won't prepare you for her antics in SEIGI NO MIKATA.

Mirai is a middle-school student whose life is plagued by the presence of her beautiful older sister (Yamada Yu), who's beginning to have second thoughts about an impending marriage. The comedy plays between the manipulative older sister and the frazzled younger sister; before long, the whole family is turned topsy-turvy.

As a feather-light comedy, and almost a fantasy in some ways - or at least doesn't bear much relation to real-life. The series was adapted from a manga, and has an almost childlike innocence at times. But it's clear that, without Mirai, this drama wouldn't be half as effective.
