Yamada kun to 7 nin no Majo
Feb. 21st, 2018 01:33 pmUrara Shiraishi (Mariya Nishiuchi) is a model student with excellent grades. Ryu Yamada (Yusuke Yamamoto) is a trouble student. One day, Urara tumbles down the stairs with Ryu. After the accident, their bodies become switched.
When they tumbled down the stairs, they happened to kiss. They guess that they may have changed bodies because of the kiss. They kiss again and they get their own bodies back.
Through kissing they can change bodies freely. They also learn that there are 7 witches with special abilities. The 7 witches can use their special abilities by kissing. Urara and Ryu set out to find the 7 witches. (asiawiki-2013)
As a fan of the anime version (I've read the first volume of the manga only), I think this is an excellent adaptation. I loved it. It is very short, 8 episodes, 36minutes long, so when I finished it left me wanting more. While watching it, I remember why I started to watch Jdramas... for this kind of fun XD
Story (10/10): so anyone who watched the anime would be satisfied with the live action. It was the same, colorful, funny, somewhat silly, lots of kisses and ridiculous situations, and likeable characters. Since it is so short, it was fast paced, practically one new witch per episode. But in spite of being short, you can feel the friendship between Yamada and Miyamura and Shiraishi and Ito, always in their investigation room, asking themselves about the witches. And of course, as any anime fan knows, there is always the beach trip scene, with the whole class XD Really, this was just like watching anime but with real people.
Cast (9/10): so fine, Yamamoto Yusuke was pretty old when he played Yamada, but that is because he is talented portraying silly, anime-ish characters. His silly expressions, all his kicks in the air, all that energy portraying an hyperactive student... This is not the first time he played an anime character. He was so good, I miss him in this kind of roles. I think there is no one in this generation as good as he was :(
Nishiuchi Mariya was excellent when she had to switch from Shiraishi to Yamada. It was like they truly switched bodies, I loved it. And I also liked Miyamura (Ide Takuya)... how couldn't I! Turns out, he was in one of the Kuroshitsuji Musicals, portraying Ronald Knox. Triendl Reina as Ito was so cute, and the rest of the witches were perfect in their roles. Except when they had to kiss... so stiff! Shiraishi was the only girl who at least pouts a bit when she kisses... the others stay there like statues, hmph. To be honest, the best kisses were btw the two guys... they had more chemistry than Yamada and one of the girls XD The only witch I didn't like so much was the last witch... she didn't act well and she looked too old for the part.
Music (6/10): I barely listened to it the first time... it was very anime-ish and not-catchy at all. I skipped it everytime since then.
Rewatch value (10/10): so light and friendly, of course I would rewatch it, especially if I am having a tough week. It has no dramas and it is pure fun XD
**My rating: 9/10**
