Agreed. First season is easily the best out of the three. Definitely only watch if you want a class with new delinquents
I was rewatching some episodes of the first series on YouTube just to check on that. Everything on the first series is better. The characters. The storylines. The comedy. Even the way the episodes are shot are done with more personality. And Yankumi did not only use her fists to solve the students' problems.
Extremely repetitive and formulaic. It lacks the novelty value of the first series.
The basic structure for an episode is as follows:
- Comic introduction - The gang gets involved in trouble. (usually beaten up) - Yankumi finds about it. - A huge fight takes place in a warehouse. - Happy ending for everyone.
Only watch it if you are a huge fan and wants more of the same on every episode.
Is the love triangle dragged out? I usually skip dramas I see with the love triangle tag, but seeing how so many…
The love triangle is soon dropped to make room for a silly kidnapper's story. Skip it. It is too long. Too silly. And the superpower aspect isn't explored by the plot at all!
This drama was excruciatingly bad. Every episode felt like a chore I had to do in order to see the end of it.
Instead of focusing on the superpower of the main character and making good use of it to create interesting and funny situations. The writer tries to juggle too many storylines that go absolutely nowhere.
===MILD SPOILERS AHEAD===
The love triangle is soon put aside to focus on the kidnapper's storyline. Which is boring as hell! Compared to the crime dramas we have in western media. This is almost childlike. What was supposed to be a thriller just becomes irritating. Very quick.
The gangster's/neighborhood redevelopment storyline also goes nowhere.
The romance between the main character's brother and his patient also goes nowhere.
The career pursuit of the main character is also so underdeveloped. It goes somewhere, but it so diluted in the sea of other storylines.
And the superpower, which is something that is in the TITLE of the series isn't put to good use. It has absolutely no effect on the plot.
===END OF SPOILERS===
All the storylines that had so much potential are dropped just to show a dull crime story. With the most incompetent cops you'll ever see in your life. Also the main character had the oportunity to catch the bad guy midway through the series and let him go just because the writer wasn't done with him yet.
The result is a series that is overly long. Uninteresting. Boring. And a complete waste of time. They stretch everything almost up to the rupture point.
The only thing that really kept me watching were the funny scenes with the gangsters and my curiosity to see how this mess was going to end.

It gets a lot better!!!
And I mean A LOT BETTER!!!
After you get past what looks like a Robotic Haruka Ayase. Her character will grow on you. Immensely.
All the characters are so heartwarming. And the casting is so spot on!!
This is the best Drama I've seen this year. It is one you don't want it to end.
I'll miss getting back from work and putting in an episode to watch.

It took me 5 years to finish watching this series. Seriously.
