[WARNING: the rating and review I give have the possibility to be subjective due to my preference for the genres, scenes or casts]

I watched this series the same time I watch the US version. I really love the US version and that makes me set the standard too high. Maybe. For me, Shindo is too dumb. Yes, he's not normal, but the acting is too whacky for me. As for the dramatic part, I think Japanese people are the master of it (^_^) I wasーalmostーcried in the end of every episode (^_^;) But the one makes me stay is Jurippe, she's my idol since I don't know when.
