there's a live action of this? i have to check that out too
Yeah there's a drama on this. I still liked the manga better tho. Maybe reading this beforehand and already knowing how everything will go made it more predictable for me. Also I loved the comedic expressions of mishima and kirino when they were talking about each other's deepest secret in the manga! Every character in the manga felt so silly and unserious somehow because of their expressions, even the annoying gossiping moms and tarou's dad felt silly (except for kirino's mom who was depressed and that rapist weirdo that felt strange). Unfortunately no matter how good their acting in the drama is, they can't replicate the expressions in the manga...so yeah. I liked it but the manga was much better for me. I would say the manga was funny and heartwarming in the beginning chapters yet depressing because of how kirino's life was not his till end; it was his mom's. He loved his mother so much that he wasn't able to see her upset so he lived by his mother's choice which felt hopeless...
I wish they would've added more to tarou's character tho. In the manga I went from feeling a dislike towards him to liking him but in the drama...his character felt like it lacked depth...it's understandable. I think it's because what looks natural in the manga feels unrealistic in the drama for me...
The acting in the drama was good tho and everything was the same as it was in the manga so it was pretty alright. If you want to watch it you can watch it in Dailymotion!
I get what you mean. I love the contrast between the seriousness of the story and the silliness of the characters and humor. Sounds interesting to be able to compare them. I'm not much of a fan of live action but, I'll have to check this. I sure do hope we can see more of the couple and Kirino's life as continuation in the manga.
I'm thinking of watching the Jdrama today. The manga was so good. It made me feel so many types of emotion. I loved it. I hope the Jdrama is as good.
