Wallflower Drama First Impression

Didn't know it came out already! Already 5 episodes in. Watched 2 episodes so far. Quick thoughts:

-Who the hell is this little boy??!!! Get out of Wallflower!!! A lot of focus for the main characters are gone, because now we have to pity this boy?!! Take him out!! New characters shouldn't be added in a anime/manga based drama T_T Also it takes away the whole dirty stuff that happens in the series.

-Kamenashi Kazuya as Kyouhei: Actually I think he did a fairly good job in portraying his character. Arrogant. Funny reaction and timing. Though not quite Kyouhei.
-Come to think of it, I haven't seen a shirtless Kyouhei in the first two episode...isn't that his asset?

-Oomasa Aya as Sunako: I think the role will grow with the actor. She looks like Sunako. I was really hoping to see her in that german uniform when she rescued Kyohei
-Disappointed that Oomasa didn't cut her bang. That is one of Sunako's trademark!! It was also for me a defining moment in the manga when she did it. Maybe later episode? *crossfinger*

-Uchi Hiroki as Takenaga: He has this very nice cool air about him. Not sure if its right for him...but he's seems so nice haha. He comes off cold in the manga.

-Miyao Shuntaro as Ranmaru: This dude looks so old from the rest haha! But he plays off that playboy thing well.

-Tegoshi Yuya as Yuki: A character that comes off to friendly or feminine is a difficult role to play...he'll come off gay if done wrong. He's not cute as I think he could be...

-The thing screwy about the first two episodes, is they mixed a bunch of chapters from later parts of the manga into the beginning....also I felt the introduction was weak on Sunako's part. It felt like a bunch of arcs were mixed into one episode at a time. Could have developed character better...and get rid of that boy!! He's cute, but he's not part of the series to begin with!!! There's no need to focus on him.

-Also they're college students? Ahh no uniform T__T What's with that cape Sunako?!!

Anyways, I think I'll still follow the drama just for kicks. The manga and anime styles aren't the greatest either so, seeing a live action version is a nice guilty pleasure XD

I like it just fine. I expected alot of random changes and (haha was not dissappointed in that part). It's just life. I think... that even though there are all these changes, it flows really well. like headbutting instead of nose bleeds, I like that. I think the little boy isn't much of a buffer for more (normal) wallflower scenes because Ranmaru is always doing his thing right infront of him lol. well... I'm fairly pleased with it. It could be alot worse
