What a hidden gem! ^____^
This "Joshi Kosei no Mudazukai" aka "Wasteful Days of High School Girls" is a lovely and tremendously hilarious dorama. Filled with pretty weird but at the same time delightfully endearing characters (the not-so-bright tomboy who nevertheless surprises us time and again with such witty questions as "Why animals always survive by running away, but we humans are told that we shouldn't do that?", the aspiring mangaka, the occult buff, the adorable nutjob lost in her fantasy world, the emotionless genius with her sharp and witty replies, etc. etc.), all portrayed marvelously by the commendable cast (seriously, they were all perfect imho, with a particular praise for Okada Yui and her great histrionic skills!), the drama shines also thanks to the wonderful script (jokes, puns, cultural references, a meta-fake-asadora masterfully mocking all the clichés of that genre...all these - and yet some! - keep smoothly and hilariously flowing one after the other), the pretty high value of the directing/photography/editing etc. (consider all the work behind those elaborate "What an interesting/amazing woman!" mini-scenes!), and last but not least to the nice and catchy music commentary. What a hidden gem, seriously! ^_____^Was this review helpful to you?
