Starring Kazuya Kamenashi from Kat-Tun and Tomohisa Yamashita from NewS (srsly what is with that obsession with a capital S at the back?!), Nobuta wo Produce is basically like Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge, minus two guys (along with any remaining bishi power), which I dropped almost immediately after the first minute or so of the first episode, due to how absolutely unbearable the so-called bishies looked. I think in the manga it wouldn’t have seemed as bad, somehow.
To sum it up, a popular guy in school, Shuji, and a stupid rich-kid, Akira, decide to ‘produce’ Nobuko, a frequent victim of bullying, and move her up from the most bullied kid in school, to the most popular. The ‘produce’, in this case, refers to something like a producer’s work. What else could it have meant, huh. .___.u
Moving along, I’ve finished episode 2 of Nobuta wo Produce, and frankly although I’m watching a low-quality version of the whole series, I really can’t say that I’m amused by what I see.
