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.
