PERSONAL THOUGHTS / TV SERIES REVIEW

Why did i watch this?

i read the plot and it seemed so interesting! Also the stars are both my favorite!

Yamamoto Yusuke - i see him everywhere! Name a drama and he is there as an actor guest. The Live action i really liked his acting is "Ouran High" Yes he does not look like Tamaki but his acting is superb! First time i saw him was on "Hana Kimi". i like his acting but not his looks, he looks great but not my type teehee gomen Yusuke my brother looks like you T3T

Nishiuchi Mariya - Loved her acting and comedy in "Switch Girl" which i mentioned on my
Top 10 Japanese Drama List (click here to view). Her acting is just too funny, and she is tall and pretty.

Casting
Obviously best team up ever! But i can not imagine them as a couple in my head hehe.

The suppor actors and actresses are great, although some of the Witches are not that good in acting yet, but the acting is passable not horrible though. i think Ide Takuya is cute hehe.

Story-line and Characters
Very Anime feel into it! Japan High school rocks! But i can not feel that they actually go to school. They focused too much on the main actors and forgot the usual school routines, a little more school setup feel will be great like P.E. or karaoke after school, maybe they will do it in the future episodes, who knows. i just watched till ep 4 today.

OK so a fujyoshi / BL will enjoy this! And as well as Yuri or GL fans. i don't want to spoil everything here kyaaaaaa~ BL!!! ahaha~

Setting/Props/Production

Love the School uniform! Lacks background. i want to see the main characters homes and history.

2D-3D Effects if Any
N/A

Do i recommend this?
if you like Live Actions then YES!

Final Conclusion

Great Main Cast, Cute uniforms, magic powers but not your expected Majo uniforms and such. Just simple powers with Kissing random people like its normal. its a fun show to watch.

RATE 9 / 10
