This is the third follow-up series produced by Netflix. It is set in Karuizawa, and is a return to form for the series.

This is the second series produced by Netflix. The house here is in Oahu, and, while the language was still Japanese, this series skewed a bit more towards conventional western reality TV drama which some fans preferred but most did not.

This is the first Netflix revival of the show. It too was set in Tokyo, and it is very similar in quality to BxGND, but did not last as long at 46 episodes.

This is the feature film sequel to the original series and provides a wrap up to the series. There are two versions of this film: the initial version is very similar to an extended episode of the TV series (but covering a much longer time span), and there is another version with the panel providing running commentary. Only the initial version has been given English subtitles by the fan group Costco Subs.

Firstly, both dramas are presenting school life from the students' perspective. They make it in a comedy-driven way, but they are also serious and deep in some depicted situations. Especially, when you consider the problems of acceptance by other classmates. That's why, there are some motives of bullying in both of them, more visible in "Nobuta wo produce".

Futhermore, dramas are very similar when you think about the main characters and their influence on the story. In "Nobuta wo produce" you obviously see the friendship of three protagonists (Kiritani Shuji, Kusano Akira and Kotani Nobuko) and in my opinion "The Queen's Classroom" shares this pattern (Kanda Kazumi, Manabe Yusuke and Shindo Hikaru). The story revolves around their forming friendship and making memories from school.

Finally, episodes in both dramas are construced in the same scheme, IDEA => PROBLEM => SOLUTION. So there are specific subjects which the stories are devoted to, but every episode is a stand-alone story strongly connected to the main plot.

Both leads share painful pasts in both dramas and fall in love as they heal their wounds together. Both are beautiful love stories that are worth watching.

Both of the dramas have a husband who fall for another woman who is rich and pretend not to care for their son. Once they see their ex-wife falling for another man, they get all possessive and pretend like they do care when they actually don't.
