Yamada Taro Monogatari

Yamada Taro Monogatari starring Ninomiya Kazunari, Sakurai Sho and Tabe Mikako.




Yamada Taro is a poor student on scholarship to an Elite high school. Since Taro carries himself well, everyone assumes that he isn't poor but some rich "prince". Taro doesn't hide the fact that his family is poor but his fellow classmates don't seem to notice that he is and just keeps assuming he's extremely wealthy. The eldest of 7 children, Taro works park-time jobs after or before school to earn money for living expenses for himself and his whole family. Having a mother with a weak body and cannot work herself and a father that is traveling the world painting but not making much money from his art, Taro must do what he can to make sure his family is taken care of even if that means he has to give up things he needs or would like.

Atashinchi no Danshi Pt 2

I understand that I've already blogged about this but I look back on it and see that it was a somewhat poorly written blog. Besides, at that time there were only 4 episodes out and the fansub weren't producing more hardsubs for the drama. They finally released the remaining episodes which is why I'm blogging about this show again.
