Probably the best live action japanese comedies from a manga
Its hard not to give this a 10 across the board because the show is just lighthearted fun. The writing is excellent and far outshines most other Japanese comedies that came from a manga (I'm guessing this is from a bl manga comedy because of the absurd story premise). It is funny and the main story so far has not veered into cringe comedy, which I greatly appreciate. The secondary character and secondary storyline does veer into painfully cringe worthy behavior but the character is aware that he is acting link an idiot and questioning his own behavior and that saves it from being too painful i think, and gives a little more empathy for the character. I honestly have been totally unaware of the music because i was so wrapped up in the story, which is oddly compelling. I started watching with supper and ended up watching all available episodes that night. I wish I'd seen more comedies like this. Most manga storylines seem to translate well into anime, but look painful played as a drama. This shows that if done carefully, even a ridiculously absurd story can be made into an excellent and fun live action drama. Its funny and charming.
