sunako_yueIt's Shouko Komi's first day at the prestigious Itan Private High School, and she has already risen to the status of the school's Madonna. With long black hair and a tall, graceful appearance, she captures the attention of anyone who comes across her. There's just one problem though—despite her popularity, Shouko is terrible at communicating with others.
Hitohito Tadano is your average high school boy. With his life motto of "read the situation and make sure to stay away from trouble," he quickly finds that sitting next to Shouko has made him the enemy of everyone in his class! One day, knocked out by accident, Hitohito later wakes up to the sound of Shouko's "meow." He lies that he heard nothing, causing Shouko to run away. But before she can escape, Hitohito surmises that Shouko is not able to talk to others easily—in fact, she has never been able to make a single friend. Hitohito resolves to help Shouko with her goal of making one hundred friends so that she can overcome her communication disorder. (Source: MyAnimeList - 2021)
I think this is one of the wacky but well-done live action. As in, you can tell it is based on a manga, the colorful characters, the random moments (like Tadano-kun screaming in his mind); the unrealistic moments (would a teenage girl really talk to others thru her notebook, when she isn't mute??), but it has a lot of heart and funny scenes.
The characters are all likeable, except maybe for Mizobata Junpei's one... I think he was the only one not memorable but thankfully he is in like 3 episodes only. I really liked the arc of the germophobic girl and her friend, it was very sweet and heartfelt and made me teary-eyed at the end. Too bad they were in 2 (or was it just one?) episodes only.
I also liked that the actors are all in their middle 20's and even in their 30's playing the role of students, no idea why. They didn't look ridiculous at all, isn't that weird? It made it even funnier. Seeing Massu and Shirota Yu, both of 35-years-old, being students..🤣
The only 2 cons I can name are: 1) the beginning of their friendship was very awkward. I don't like the whole "can you be my friend?" type of beginning. It has to be like out of nowhere, so how Manbagi started being Komi's friends was very awkward and rather pathetic. And 2) the love triangle in the last 2 episodes. Totally unnecessary but well, many girls in shoujo manga fall for the 1st guy that is nice to her, so I kinda get it. Ridiculous, but cliche.
**My rating: 8/10**
