Nobuta wo Produce
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.
Starring:
  • Kamenashi Kazuya as Kiritani Shuji
  • Yamashita Tomohisa as Kusano Akira
  • Horikita Maki as Kotani Nobuko

 AKIRA Shock,
Written by bengalifob  - Thursday, 20 March 2008  - #1 Reviewer

Satisfaction
Story: 
Your run-of-the-mill high school story about being unsure about the future, making good friends, and having no regrets. All that blah with a mystery twist and plenty of memorable quotes. 
 
Acting: 
I seriously think this drama only did well because of the actors. Without their wonderful performance this drama would've been completely dry because admit it; the story isn't that great. 
 
Music: 
This another thing that really helped the drama. The music was outstanding! From beginning to end it was the music and the actors that were able to make this otherwise boring story into the fad that it became.  
 
Overall: 
The drama definitely is a good one, but only because of the above stated reasons. Not on my favourites list. Still worth the watch.  
 
Watch it for the exceptionally cute and legendary AKIRA and his list of infamous quotes. Kon kon! ^.^

avatar I thought this drama was gonna be like Freddie Prinze Jr.'s movie "She's All
That", but I'm glad to say it wasn't at all.

Hope that changes the minds
of all those who didn't want to watch it thinking that!
