Nobuta wo Produce

"Nobuta wo Produce"

Synopsis

Kiritani Shuji is the popular guy who gets along with everyone, from the jerks to the nerds to the just plain weird. The one person Shuji cannot stand is Kusano Akira. To Shuji, Akira is just plain annoying. He laughs, talks and acts funny. Things heat up when a new student comes to school. Her name is Kotani Nobuko, a girl who has no self confidence at all and is content at being made fun of and bullied in school. Shuji and Akira come to an accord that in order to make use of their "youth" they will "produce" Nobuko as the next popular girl. One of the conditions, however, is that nobody should find out that they are working together as a team to make this concept possible. Unveiled here is the story of true friendship between three unlikely candidates who would not have been friends if not given the special circumstances.

REVIEW:

yeah this drama made me really laugh a lot. the drama should have had a romantic type of story but even without hte romance, the drama was awesome! shuji and akira both decided to help nobuta because she was always bullied. i keep on repeating this because i manage to laugh hard and have a lot of fun as if i was with them.
