This drama wasn't that bad. I've never read the manga, so I can't compare the manga to the drama. This drama is not for everyone. . . Just telling you that now. Do I recommend it? If you like Japanese Comedy or the actors & actresses, then yes. I recommend it. This is a feel-good drama. The first episode was iffy for me & I didn't get into it right away. This story is weird in a funny way. The acting was nice. I seen the main girl in Yamada-kun no 7nin to Majo that came out this year & like her. I've only seen the main guy in Hana Kimi Remake & he is better in this drama. Arata is more calmer than Nika is. But it;s opposite & not-so-opposites attract love story. I didn't like Arata at first, but he grew on me. Nika was hard to get use to at first, but she grew on me as well. The music wasn't memorable, but cute. I'll rewatch it for the interactions of the cast members. I kind of like Nika when it comes to her personality, but not to that extent(what & see what I mean). I want to look presentable outside of the house & sometimes just want to watch my dramas/anime/read my books or manga when I'm at home. Warning: sometime, there will be embarrassing moments in this drama, but it gets better was you watch more of it. (This is my opinion!)
