My Boss My Hero
Sakaki Makio, also known as "Tornado" is a tough 27-year-old high school drop-out. By academic standards, he's pretty dumb. His father decides to force Makio to return to high school to receive his diploma and he asks an old friend who happens to be the principal of a nearby school to admit Makio. If Makio doesn't graduate, the position of boss will be given to his younger brother, Mikio.

Furthermore, he must pose as a 17-year-old during school hours and in the presence of any classmates or teachers outside of school. If his cover is blown, it would be the end of his high school career as well as his hopes to become boss. Things start out rough and tough as Makio's violent temper is tested. As the lessons and days go by he learns there is much more to school than just tests and studying.


Starring:
  • Nagase Tomoya as Sakaki Makio
  • Tegoshi Yuya as Sakurakoji Jun

 Yet another yakuza going to school,

Story: 
The concept isn't different considering how many of these dramas there are out there. I wonder if gang/ yakuza/mob/delinquints really do go back to school and do all these things... of course not! Joking. I'm sure some do.  
 
Anyway, what I really liked about this drama was the comedy, which didn't start until the second episode. The first episode was boring, but it was more of a orientation epi so I'll forgive.  
 
Acting: 
Tomoya pretty much carries the drama on his shoulders, but special mentions go to the supporting actors - koki, yui, and yuya.  
 
Music: 
There was music?! Exactly. It's forgettable. 
 
Overall: 
I recommend it because it really is funny. Tomoya's facial expressions sometimes reminded me of Jim Carrey.

avatar I found this one tough to get into at first. I gave up part way. I'm sure it's
a good drama, but I'll only let myself watch it if I have LOTS of time to spare.
