In this school comedy, a girls' high school suddenly goes co-ed, but the incoming boys are far below their expectations. As a result, some of the girls start a project to reform the boys into "princes." --Tokyograph

At first I wasn't tooooooo sure about this drama. I'm not much for the over-acting that is common in manga/anime related dramas. So it was a little over the top in the first episode. But I overlooked it because...well...it's a Japanese drama and there are a whole lotta dramas of those types.

This was the norm of a female based school that inherits a bunch of boys into their school because the following year it will change into a boy/girl school. So they decided to "test" out the effects of having boys in the school.

Of course, it's a girl-loves-boy theme with the idea of the girls trying to change them (the boys) from losers to "Princes". And, with the eye-candy involved...well, I had to watch. Two of the characters are in my favorite (so far) drama called Tokyo Ghost Trip which is slowly being released (the subbers are having trouble with keeping help). Anyway, Kiriyama Renn and Takiguchi Yukihiro are those two guys...........soooo cute especially Renn-kun.

This is definitely a highschool girl's dream type drama. I, being out of school for many years, didn't mind at all. The sweetness of the story, with the main five male characters each getting two episodes a piece, was nice. Not overly sexual or anything like that.

The flames of love envelope the hapless tenants of an all-boys high school dorm.

Peer into the perplexing world of all-male school romance with a focus on Takumi and Gii as the two search to cure Takumi's love-thratening fear of meaningful relationships due to a trauma in his past!


OMG! This was a little low budget but it was so sweet. I think I'm beginning to become a big fan of yaoi movies. Something about two really, really, really cute guys kissing is an insane turn on! OMG! I can't believe I just admitted that to everyone and to myself. LOL!

It started off a lot like a manga/anime related movie. Is it? I'll have to search. It started off with lots of exaggerated movements and gestures to Matrix like scenes. Eventually once the story got heated the manga/anime related movements ended.

This was endearing and sweet. Takumi has a "human phobia" and doesn't like to be touched. As the story moves along we realize that there is a reason why. Gii is Takumi's roommate and is the first to admit his love for Takumi. We come to find out that Gii has loved Takumi for at least over 3 years as the story continues. Eventually Gii breaks through Takumi's touch barrier and slowly Takumi comes to realize he loves Gii too.

This is so romantic and loving. Homosexual or not, love should always be this way..................

And I'll admit when Takumi and Gii kissed.....my heart rate went through the roof!!!!
