Bad girls
Forget conventional schools where you get bored in your chair listening with a distracted ear to a teacher reciting his lesson in a monotone voice. Here, there is no question of lambiner since we are at the Yankees and the atmosphere of this school is beautiful and palpable as soon as you cross the gate. It is enough to see the messy but highly sought after look of his young daughters to measure the magnitude of the task that awaits our little news! A real feast for the eyes for those who appreciate school uniforms, they will be spoiled for choice with its short or long sailors see kawai for others. Fights will be your daily lot throughout the drama and will be brilliantly interpreted by our little scrapings. But be careful not to rub it too much, because you are not immune to a misplaced blow.
Maeda not so alone…
Astuko is a heroine with a heavy past. Although her character is cold and not very talkative in nature, we immediately want to know why she acts so detachedly. His relationship with Daruma remains a mystery because the two girls have nothing in common. In contrast to the Rappa group, which has a hierarchy, mutual aid and solidarity that are felt. Moreover, the opposition of his two groups makes the drama interesting and we understand that behind his fights that seem meaningless, it is not! The presentation of the characters and enemies of our two transferred students gives a beautiful palette of characters that makes us not bored. The protagonists are well developed and Yuko and Sado's relationship touches us with its sincerity.
Fight for a good cause
A drama of clan war, we saw more than one, but this one does not forget to make a small nod to another of his colleagues: Crows (Maeda owns the manga). We are more used to fights between men so why not reverse the trends? Because in the end, the violence and choreography are not that bad. For idols, they are doing well. The format helping, we are surprised to have already reached the end .. But with an ending that satisfies although some mysteries hover. In particular, with Nezumi who acted in the shadow of all without being unmasked! The drama still has five seasons to answer our questions who knows, since a sixth season was released this year. We will be sure to talk to you about it again.
The bad girls atmosphere, street fights and school uniforms connect you? So why not pay a visit to Majisuka! You will see his young women who will welcome you as they should.
