REVIEWS:

Although a humorous drama for now....it's starting to bug! It's more of a funny drama that is not supposed to play with your intelligence. It has its cute moments but a lot of dumb moments such as Fujiwara trying to please Steven Spielberg (it's not him) and Uchida and Nishimura's characters doing the popular Titanic arms & hands out in the front of the ship scene.-KNDY
