It reminded me of Clark Kent taking off his glasses as he walks/runs fervently to his destination. And then I imagine her in comic form... like a chibi superhero. I wish I could draw what I'm seeing in my head, but she's so gosh darn cute when she goes from geeky teacher to tough yakuza princess. I imagine drawing her in chibi form in her track suit and both arms in the air declaring (in response to a thug's "who the hell are you!?")--- "I am Kumiko Yamaguchi and I'm a homeroom teacher!" .. as if being a homeroom teacher was her superhero title.
I know it's already based on a manga, and I've seen the manga drawings, but I've only seen one "cutesy" drawing of her. Would like to see more if anyone knows where I can see...
Anyway, I haven't gotten much sleep the last 24 hours so my mind is thinking these kind of things.
At first welcome to this thread:) Gosh it has been dead for so long and you made it live again!! I am greateful about that(:
I watched Gokusen about 3 years ago.It was he beginning of my Drama-addiction. That habit of throwing her glasses away,letting her hair down...It was *damn*cute and funny at the same time.That thing with the superhero is really fitting. In truth I don´t like her "Manga form" that much. Not cute at all*~*
Though I am really bad at drawing therfore I am not at help...SORRY >_<
