Hatanaka Kosaku is a talented boxer who turned pro at the age of 19, winning his debut match with a first round KO. He is talented, but he has no guts. His uncontrollable appetite is an even bigger problem. He can't put himself in the right weight class, he runs out of energy because of hunger, and he gets knocked out while his eyes are set on food at the ringside. However, Kosaku's life changed when he met Sister Angela, a novice nun in the convent near his boxing gym. She became the source of his power, and Kosaku fights only to win her heart. --NTV

    While I am completely biased towards Kame, and love him to death! This was not one of my favorite dramas he starred in.

    The drama for me started off in high spirits. I thought Kame was so adorable as Kosaku, and Kuroki Meisa looked beautiful as always even as a nun. I just felt like the story got old after awhile. It just seemed repetitive and I got bored a lot towards the end so it was almost a chore to finally finish the drama.

    I'm not saying I hated it or anything because Kame being a hyperactive boxer was too cute for me not to watch! but you may get bored after the first five episodes.

    One Pound Gospel is such a fun story. It makes you feel better whenever you watch it. The great thing about it is that it's not only funny, it also has it's hard moments, romantic moments, and what I find one of the most important things, it makes you really energetic and willing to sport! Kazuya/Kosaku is so enthousiastic that you cannot help but love him, and the rest of the cast is fantastic and you'll love them all right away.

  • The same mangaka's work. If you liked the humor and romance in ranma, you'd like it in this drama too. The storyline is also based in fighting (but not material arts). And it's a romantic story too.

  • they both stare leading men from "Producing Nobuta" and both are about an athlete falling in love with a seemingly unattainable woman, although OPG has far more comedy than BB.
