Which manga would you want to see 'drama-tised'?

I read my fair share of manga's, and I've also seen a few Drama's that were based on manga's (Meteor garden, Mars, Devil beside you etc). There are so many great manga's! I'd love to see more of them in drama-form! Now my question is

Which manga would you want to see drama-tised? And why?
Also extra (free bonus ;) question. What actors would you pick for certain roles in this manga (Be it Korean/Chinese/Japanese/etc mix 'm all together!)

My choice of manga would be Hot Gimmick! ( more info here: http://www.zaha.net/shoujo/aihara/hotgimmick/hotgimmick.html )

"When high school girl Hatsumi has to buy a pregnancy test because her popular sister Akane is "late", She runs into Ryoki, who used to bully Hatsumi as a kid, Ryoki promises not to tell the world about Hatsumi’s secret—only if she becomes his slave. Meanwhile Azusa, Hatsumi’s protector in their youth, reappears! He’s moving back into the neighborhood! Despite the budding romance between Hatsumi and Azusa, Ryoki has control over Hatsumi through the secret that could ruin the lives of everyone in Hatsumi’s family"

Bad boy Ryoki should be played by Bi, because..hmm yes, just because, How does he look with glasses?

Main Girl Hatsumi could be played by Rainie Yang, she'd be an excellent Hatsumi (must be those facial expressions)

Strange combination? Yes! Big Smile

I hope this has not been asked before, such a big forum, and so many many topics (I did do some checking)

I agree about Bi for Hot Gimmick. After Full House he seems quite able to play the petulant and abusive Ryoki, and think Rainie could play the victim quite well.

I'd love to see Perfect Girl Evolution/The Wallflower. Insert hot guy of choice for Takenaga, Ranmaru and Yuki and Kyohei. No idea for Sunako. I think this would be really hard to film.

I'd also quite like to see W-Juliet and I'd have Kame as Makoto

The Wallflower, excellent choice! And who can object against many goodlooking guys in one drama?

I wonder who could pull of a good Sunako, someone who can have nosebleeds in a flash. Appearance wise (After cleaning up Sunako) she reminds me a bit of the bad girl from Devil beside you. Could be the hair though.

In each and every one of these manga/anime -> live drama topics, I always choose Ai Yori Aoshi. And each time I mention it, people chew it up into pieces because of its sexual content. Although it does have the "fan service" element like most sorta-soft-porn anime, this particular one has many elements of a trendy drama. Heck, if they can turn GTO into a live drama (Onizuka looking up young girls' skirts while sitting under a stairway is much more extreme), Ai Yori Aoshi would be a breeze to clean up and be converted into a rated-G drama.

Who says it has to be G-rated? ;)

I never really liked Ai Yori Aoshi, but that's personal taste only, I know many people who do like it. Considering the story, it will probably be a very succesfull drama, also succesfull in attracting a large male audience Laugh

You mean there are more topics like this one? *gulp*

Ichigo 100%! Just cause it's got lots of girls and fan service, though its very lacking in the story department.

My vote goes to I's which has much better pacing is IMHO the best shounen romance manga out there.

YAH ichigo I really want to see an Ichigo 100% drama series. The anime wasn't that good unlike the manga
I wonder who would cast as NISHINO TSUSAKA. If there was a drama on ichigo 100% it should be based on the manga than the anime.

Yeah the KareKano ending was pretty abrupt, but it's still a great series! And if they should ever make a drama out of it, then could put in a definitive ending...Or put in the ending from the manga (which I do not know)

I'd like to see a Kare First Love drama (different from Kare Kano), although I don't know how the story ends yet. My little sister loves this manga, and that's how I found out about it.

One manga doinkies thinks would work perfectly as a drama would be Binetsu Shoujo by Miyasaka Kaho. A synopsis:

Rina is a 15 year old girl who, ever since she was a child, was not very healthy. Since she had been in and out of hospitals and schools all her life, she became a rather shy girl. She gets interested in a boy who takes the same train to school, and one day she finally wracks up the courage to ask his name….

I can't really think of any actors right now but once I think of some doinkies will post them in this post.

Crazy tokyo paradise. I love that manga. I think it would be a pretty good drama.
