Synopsis

Sakaki "Tornado" Makio (Nagase Tomoya) is a tough 27-year-old high school drop-out. By academic standards, he's pretty dumb. His father decides to force Makio to return to high school to receive his diploma and he asks an old friend who happens to be the principal (Iwaki Koichi) of a nearby school to admit Makio. If Makio doesn't graduate, the position of boss will be given to his younger brother Mikio (Kikawada Masaya).
Furthermore, he must pose as a 17-year-old during school hours and in the presence of any classmates or teachers outside of school. If his cover is blown, it would be the end of his high school career as well as his hopes to become boss. Things start out rough and tough as Makio's violent temper is tested. As the lessons and days go by he learns there is much more to school than just tests and studying.

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.

Very funny
