Gokusen Season 2

In gokusen 2 they come together again

Both shows about finding yourself and friendship- both have good strong messages!

The story takes place at a police station in Nakano, Tokyo - a community-based precinct handling cases of all sizes, from arguments between pedestrians and neighborhood disputes to theft and fraud. Assigned to the Criminal Investigation Division are the partner detectives Yomoda Makoto and Suzuki Asuka.

With outstanding teamwork, the pair solve case after case. However, they carry a secret they cannot tell anyone. They are husband and wife.

Within the police department in Japan, it exists an unspoken rule: married couples cannot be assigned to the same division. If discovered, one of them would be transferred. In other words, they would be forced out of the detective division. To remain detectives, they reach only one conclusion: hide the fact that they are married.

Thus, the detectives form a partnership while concealing their marriage and keeping separate surnames...

At work, the two ordinary fellow detectives...

Both are about eccentric teachers who help bring hope to children who have lost all hope. Akahan no Sensei is more realistic in it's approach, where though the teacher excited, he lives in a very real world. so nothing is sugar coated.

Both are dramas about teachers protecting students from adults and the scary world that's trying to take advantage of them at the expense of their own well being.

Both dramas have jpop idols in the cast and a beautiful teacher trying to help the revolting teenagers.
