Soichi Kurei is a magazine editor. He is currently working on popular manga series Million Joe. The writer of the manga series is Tsuneo Magata, but he suddenly dies.

I wanted to watch this "Million Joe" for a coupla reasons: on the one hand, I've been reading manga since my late 20s (I'm close to 50 now, so feel free to do the math, LOL) so I'm always interested in watching dramas that portray manga artists and the harsh reality of their job; on the other hand (and I'll be honest, this was an even stronger motive!), the lovely Imaizumi Yui (who's been my first "oshimen" when I got into idol groups) stars in it.
And man, her amazing acting talent (shown in all its glory mostly in the next to last episode where she really steals the scene!!!) make me even more outraged at the sad fact that she decided to retire from the scenes due to a paparazzi persecution (BTW, imho paparazzi share with pimps and banksters the dubious "honor" of deserving the title of "scum of the earth" - but that's another story).
Anyway Zuumin ain't the only one acting well here, the whole cast was really good, also thanks to a pretty well-written script that managed to keep the viewer's attention till the end. Add a nice production value and some equally nice music, and the result is a tremendously interesting drama that might not be absolutely perfect, but gets really close to it! Highly recommended!
