editSynopsis

Mochizuki Kotaro is a mild-mannered, unmanly high school student. One day, he visits a library and meets the mysterious librarian Himiko, who recommends to him an ancient book about a heroic general from the Sengoku period 400 years ago. Kotaro notices that he has the same name and age as the general described in the book, and he experiences a flashback... Kotaro later mentions the book to his father, who tells him that he may be the descendent of a powerful samurai. At that moment, Kotaro receives a message from his childhood friend Ai telling him that their classmate Nakamura Tsuyoshi is in trouble. He rushes to the scene but doesn't have the guts to help, until another flashback transforms him into a samurai! --Tokyograph

    This is the perfect drama for a Saturday where you have nothing planned. It has a unique storyline which you guys have already read about. It has a wonderful cast(even if Haruma is an idol, I think he did a great job here). The music wasn\'t outstanding but it was alright. Rewatch value, i\'d give it a 7 since im not exactly one who likes rewatching things unless they are EXTREMELY funny. But that\'s just my own personal bias. Overall I\'d give this an 9/10.

    The drama is a surprise to me! Positively. I saw Miura Haruma is some roles and I'm sure he is versatile actor. He plays the split personality... I like the moments when Kotarou changes in the wild samurai and starts talking strange speech.

    What is more, the action is great too. There are only mysterious rulers. They must be steel if they are never destroyed..

  • If you like one of these dramas chances are high you'll like the other because they both are HILLARIOUS and they both have the main characters being in positions that are unusual(having a samurai possess you and going back to high school.)

  • Both involve a main character with a supernatural secret identity that is the opposite of their personality.

    I found this drama to be hilarious! Especially how Kotaro (as a samurai) speaks to and treats the women haha. And his facial expressions are priceless.

    Is it just me, or does Miura Haruma get exponentially hotter whenever he is "taken over" by the samurai dude? I was so shocked! I really like that hair too ^_^ And his arms...

    I like it too. Miura's comedy looks silly because it's over-the-top, but you really have to keep in mind that he's playing TWO characters, and on that level he does really well. Also, it looks corny, but to do so consistently, the director and actors have to have a lot of conviction, and it does that without being too much. You can tell they meant to do it. It's supposed to look like the comic book it came from. It's definitely a style that isn't for everyone, but I can't accept the evaluation that it wasn't done well.

    great one to watch when you want to relax. It has funny moments, a bit serious ones and so on. But I was a bit disappointed with ending. I thought it could be more complex.

    the storyline was pretty boring but miura was amazing doing comedy roles...

    Watched the first 15 minutes or so and was instantly disappointed. The actors were very very bad....it looked so fake that it made the story seem even more fake so decided to not watch it.
