YES!!!!!! I'm so happy that this manga is finally getting a drama. For a while, I've wanted this to become a live-action, and guess what, my hope has finally been answered. I'm not happy with the cast choice for Chiaki but oh well, I can live with it as long as the actor portrays the character well. And I heard that an anime for this is coming out in January of next year, it's just awesome . _________________
