This season leaves very little to be desired. There has not been any good JDrama that I have been interested in. The only Drama that seems to have peeked my interest this season is Yankee-Kun to Megane-chan. A drama based on the manga with the same name.

Shinagawa Daichi is a delinquent that has accidentally become one through several misunderstandings. Now he spends his school days fighting his way through other Yankees while his class fears him. Adachi Hana the new class president has taken an interest in Daichi, Ofcourse this causes alot of trouble for him. Hana-chan has a secret on her own. This secret and her continued interest in Daichi’s life keeps him from leading a quiet High School life.

Three episodes into the series and it has been very faithful to the orginal manga in terms of visuals. Hana-chan is very cute and very hyper just like her Manga counter part. while poor Daichi is kept busy keeping up with Hana-chan. Hana-chan is played by Naka Riisa. I haven’t seen many of her dramas but she seems to be doing a great job playing Hana. Same goes for Narimiya Hiroki. Last time I saw him was in the Gokusen 2009 movie playing someone who graduated from high school 7 years ago. (Gokusen 2003)

Gokusen. this series just reminds me too much of Gokusen and Hana-chan reminds me of YanKumi. Everything from her enthusiasm of school life and ger ability to make any Yankee do her bidding. I have already seen a warehouse fight (how do they know where the badguys hideouts are?) and there has been an episode of convincing a student to come back to school.

This series follows the path of many comedies like My Boss My Hero, GTO and Gokusen. So if you liked those, then you will love Yankee-Kun to Megane-chan.
