Asuko March! Review

Title: Asuko March!
Genre: School drama, romance
Episodes: 9
Broadcast period: 2011-Apr to 2011-Jul
Cast: Takei Emi, Matsuzaka Tori and Kaku Kento.

When Yoshino Nao (Takei Emi) failed her entrance exam for the school she was hoping for, and in order not to become a ’Ronin’ (someone who failes high school exam and has to wait a year in order to do them again), she takes her grandfather’s advice and joins Asuko High School, thinking it’s a normal high school. Little does she know the school is COMPLETELY different than what she’d hoped for: the school focuses are to send students to work, meaning crafting and stuff like this are put as usual subjects. Not only that, the school is basically FULL with boys, with only Nao and 2 other girls…

This drama is a typical Japanese high school drama, with the heart-felt speeches and friendships, lol, mainly the reason for me to watch it. I really liked the characters in this drama, all of them, but seriously, the lead chose the wrong guy in the end… anyhow, it’s fun, I laughed real hard at so many scenes, especially when Nao’s mom comes to her school, awesomeness!
It’s very much like Gokusen, with the one girl 20 boys thing, but with the little difference in the girl being a student and not teacher. Oh yeah, and the romance that I root for :P lol, again different people different taste, hehe…

Jenji's verdict
Very typical japanese high school drama, really nice and nice plot with the different kind of school and really nice cast actually. Another high school drama you gotta watch, it was very enjoyable and fun. I like that it is different even though it's the typical story and we all know how it ends and stuff but it was still different. I totally agree with Bunji that she was stupid at the end for choosing that guy -.- aarh.. but oh well. Also I think that the other female student's role was kinda weird. It was confusing whether she plays a big role in all this or not. Like her story just ends. Lol maybe I'm just used to everything has to be a fight in those dramas haha.
