i don`t think i was supposed to be a love story in the first place, and if they go into relationships, it ruins the whole point of this drama, which is to emphasize friendshipflcia wrote:i think the relationships n the feelings between the characters r not clear in this drama...
like it was obvious that akira likes nobuta (cuz he says so) but like until the end i dont even know whether nobuta n akira really likes each other...its like typical manga-love story where everything left hanging lose...
I did, especially the last episode whenNéa Vanille wrote:I have a serious question for all of you..
don't you think that this drama, especially towards the end of the show, was really homoerotic?![]()
Shuji and Akira did a lot more touching, cuddling and playing with each other than Nobuta ever did (I actually remember this one scene in ep 8 or so, in which Akira practically sits on Shuji's lap, hugging him). From about the middle of the show, Shuji and Akira seemed a lot more like a couple than Nobuta and Shuji or even Nobuta and Akira.
Like many, I thought that Nobuta would end up with Shuji, especially during the stolen tape episode in which Nobuta was furious about having lost Shuji's tape. To me, it really hinted at her having feelings for Shuji rather than for Akira. But very soon she forgot all about that, and Shuji returned to being more 'couply' with Kusano.
Especially the ending was quite homoerotic, with the both of them playing on the beach.I also thought that Akira telling Shuji to always do what he himself wanted rather than what others, such as his brother, wanted really hinted at Akira going to join Shuji solely because Akira himself really wanted to... again and again hinting at it..
There's also the fact that the main theme is a song sung by both of them, played during a little clip about two piglets in love..
This show was so damn homoerotic and now I'm really inspired to, like, write a short story about Shuji and Akira. *yaoi fangirl*![]()
God, I love this drama.![]()

Anyway, looks cool!
I don't think it's homoerotic, just they're very good friends, or just teasing each other. Japanese guys (especially Johnny's) could be in that way with each other without meaning anything deeper. Can't judge them in a western point of view...Néa Vanille wrote:I have a serious question for all of you..

yup yup!! i agree with you. i don't see it as having yaoi tendencies. they're just really like that. johnny's do stuff together. sometimes they're even paired off, but as bestfriends, etc. since they're always together, they tend to be extra close, like going shopping together or getting same sets of jewelry, bla bla.jica wrote:I don't think it's homoerotic, just they're very good friends, or just teasing each other.

Although I think they're cute together ^^
It is a very well put comparison of the drama and the book. Now, I'm very enticed to read the book. I wonder if there is a translation version...divietodisosta wrote:The book is VERY different from the drama.dokaben wrote:Is anyone familiar with the novel? I've read the tone and plot are very different from the drama.
This might get a little long.![]()
But those are just my impressions.
Anyone else read the book? I'd love to talk about it.
Wow.. ive never looked at it that way....nadesico wrote:for me, This serie has definitely a homosexual undertone, it may not have been done consciously, but it can be interpreted like that,especially when you consider the ending: Nobuta left alone, Shuji and Akira together on the beach.
I think it's supposed to be funny because it's ridiculous (and bad). Here's the explanation someone gave me...sourbodhi wrote:can someone please explain to me the joke in ep6 about yokoyama-sensei's poetry? you know, the line about 'okuda-kun' and 'the doctor's son'. i don't get the joke.
i thot that at first but remember he counts friendship first. nobuta would be counting himself first. nobuta has mariko now and shes popular in a sense. akira needs shuji and shuji needs akira (?) lol. dunno but in my opinion i think that was a sweet ending. showing just how great their friendship is and without shuji, akira really wouldnt be akira.avexdevil wrote:didn't akira like nobuta, why would he leave her behind and join shuji in the seaside high school anyways. Kinda unexpected ending.
Gokusen I and II -- deal alot w/ friendshipSykotic wrote:Yamapi is great in this drama. This is my personal favorite, is there any other ones even similar to this in nature? (comedy, friendship, etc) besides the obvious Densha Otoko.
I agree. The characters in this show really compliment each other. I think everybody did an exceptional job.ouky wrote:What is great in this drama ( except the actor's performing ) is that at the beginning, Shuji produces Nobuta, and then Nobuta produces her own way Shuji, she keeps repeating that people can change, and at one time, he understands what she meant, and then he stops lying to everybody and tell Mariko he never loved her.
Akira-kun also exceptional in this ! kon !
