[edit]Synopsis

Hatanaka Kosaku is a talented boxer who turned pro at the age of 19, winning his debut match with a first round KO. He is talented, but he has no guts. His uncontrollable appetite is an even bigger problem. He can't put himself in the right weight class, he runs out of energy because of hunger, and he gets knocked out while his eyes are set on food at the ringside. However, Kosaku's life changed when he met Sister Angela, a novice nun in the convent near his boxing gym. She became the source of his power, and Kosaku fights only to win her heart. --NTV

    What really makes this drama is two things: 1. watching Kamenashi without a shirt on. He has a beautiful body. So much energy!
    2. watching Kuroki in a nun's habit. She can look beautiful in anything.

    The story is kind obvious. Kuroki's character does mature. Kamenashi's doesn't. But we don't care.

    While I am completely biased towards Kame, and love him to death! This was not one of my favorite dramas he starred in.

    The drama for me started off in high spirits. I thought Kame was so adorable as Kosaku, and Kuroki Meisa looked beautiful as always even as a nun. I just felt like the story got old after awhile. It just seemed repetitive and I got bored a lot towards the end so it was almost a chore to finally finish the drama.

    I'm not saying I hated it or anything because Kame being a hyperactive boxer was too cute for me not to watch! but you may get bored after the first five episodes.

  • The same mangaka's work. If you liked the humor and romance in ranma, you'd like it in this drama too. The storyline is also based in fighting (but not material arts). And it's a romantic story too.
