You should still watch it for the wonderful pairing that is Abe Hiroshi and Natsukawa Yui. Also, everybody loves Kuwano, heh.

Yeah, it would be less confusing without "upcoming". And I'm dreading China's remake of Nodame Cantabile. Can't they just leave it alone? Korea already ruined one remake.

Haha, okay then.

I've seen a few episodes and if Sudo is supposed to be really dead and buried inside, well, I guess Fujigaya can kind of pass because otherwise his acting is blah. He must be taking tips from Yamapi. Also, Sudo is an awful character given how he's treated Sakurako.

Nao is pretty much carrying the show and I'm only hanging in there for Sakurako to have something good happen in her life. Like, bitchslap her asshole dad to Timbuctoo or something.

Thanks for this article! However, I was confused by the title "Upcoming 2020 manga adaptations" when most of the January shows are on their last legs, and some have already finished airing, while the February shows have also started, so they're not "upcoming" anymore. Maybe the list should start from April?

Hi, perhaps try Nodame Cantabile.

I tried to change the photo but got a message that I couldn't.

Ha, I never expected to see Antique mentioned here. It was ... odd, to say the least.

And yeah, the Kimi wa Petto photos are all from the remake. Also pretty sure I'd have given up on J-dramas if I'd watched the ones in the video at the beginning.

I remember one of my earliest dramas was Long Vacation. Good stuff. Now that's a classic.

Thanks for that, will check out ep 4.

Thanks. In that case, might just give the first extra episode a try, but will probably skip the rest. Can't believe there's nothing of Tendo and Kisugi, I like their bromance.

Some good stuff being mentioned, but if you want to see Sato Takeru as a baddie, try Inuyashiki.

Right? He's too good at it. But I can see why he waited, and the result is great. Still, I think I like him better in more introspective roles. It'd be great to see him in a more serious romance drama next.

Yes, Ryuko's arc is pretty useless and I'd rather she go back to Koishikawa-sensei than Nishii-kun.

I haven't gotten to the extra episodes yet. Have you watched them? How are they?

I'd like to see something between Kisugi-sensei and Nurse Sakai - even just a hint would be nice. Besides, he's been a good friend to Tendo-sensei, and it's a pity there aren't more scenes of them together.

I wish you many happy hours of watching Tendo-sensei, heh. He's really the only thing that keeps me watching, and the back hug was done very well. It might be a textbook tsundere role, but Sato Takeru does it so well, and the fact that he rarely, if ever, takes on such roles makes it all the more memorable.

Nodame Cantabile.

His smirk in episode 8's bowling session was gold.

Don't demand for subs. Episode 9 isn't even aired yet!!

They should be embarrassed making all these mistakes. I wonder if there wasn't a doctor on hand that they could consult? It would have made the series more realistic without losing the plot. Sigh. Back to focusing on Tendo-sensei and hoping the last two episodes are decent.

Episode 2, right? It was a bit of a shock when he did. How do you think they could have fixed it?
