Hm... wonder if I should give one another try. I enjoyed the manga, and have always been a big fan of Nakama Yukie (TRICK is GOAT), but fell off the live action series in the second season, due to it feeling like just a low-effort remake of the first season (same story, different school). Maybe it got better with the third season?

OMG this is such a lovely show!
Matsujun is so spot-on, totally in character, and Shun Oguri is both stunning and great (as usual) - you get to see him before he got famous!

I've wanted this manga in English for years. I always liked the anime. I'll have to give this a try.

My suggestion is always to skip the second season for the reasons you stated,.the third season si the same, a remake of the previous season with a few new elements, so watching the first season then the third season means you get less over lap.


For Gokusen manga readers or just anybody who has not watched this, this got changed a bit from the manga to be more like gto, so this is like GTO, except that this mc is less horny than onizuka, she is still good at fighting, tho. The plotlines in GTO are better but this one is still a good watch if you are not the genre.

First season is definitely the best season! Matsumoto Jun here was a treat.

The second and the third season, ngl, what I like about the second season is the two leading guys, Akanishi Jin and Kamenashi Kazuya. Them and their interaction with their clique is just really good. Unlike the third season, a lot of elements are kind of overexaggerated.

Watching the live-action movie is definitely an encore! Seeing them all together is after years is just great to see. Smile
