This drama is very exciting to watch, but it’s not mind-blowing. However, there’s a possible favorite-to-be girl in this drama, Kobayashi Ryoko, she’s new to me but I’m looking forward to see more of her in the future (she’s amazingly cute!).

I wish i could get Japanese shows like these with english subtitles
You can, all dramas I write about here come with English subtitles. Just check D-Addicts ;)
Haha, he’s definitely good for that part, he is indeed a bit creepy. I don’t have a crush on him though, haha…
I actually liked the show! I, of course, stopped watching it a few episodes in.
Bloody Monday is better but Ohno was so creepy! I have a mild crush on him after Maou though.. but its also followed by a cringe. Lol.
A hannibal cringe. Creepy..
I had no idea who Satoshi Ohno or Arashi were until I saw Maoh, and came away from it totally in love with the guy! ^^ It wasn’t enough to hook me into Arashi’s music, but man…I wish the DVD set wasn’t so expensive! English subbed episodes are really hard to come by!!
