Synopsis
Tanishi Toshiyuki (Maruyama Ryuhei), a salaryman who works for a small toy manufacturer, has never had a girlfriend in the 27 years of his life. Naturally he has no experience in women too. Ridiculed as uninteresting at his workplace, Toshiyuki is a hopeless employee nowhere near getting ahead in life. He is in love with his colleague, Uemura Chiharu (Minami Akina). However, he is not able to approach her, and relieves this dejection every day through telephone dating clubs and adult videos. Then one day, Toshiyuki appears to make progress with Chiharu following coaching by the elite salaryman Aoyama Takahiro (Saito Takumi) whom he got to know at his workplace, but … jdramas

Review
Another I went into watching and was expecting something completely the opposite of what it was.
I thoroughly enjoyed this dorama for several reasons: fun, great actors, good story, boxing, Ueda Tatsuya Boxing, funny.
I love the switch in Saito Takumi's characte and I've only just realise that the lead guy is a Johnny's (Maruyama Ruhei) o_O WOW he covered that well! His character was SO geeky and cute!! xD Very funny watching him trying to be all tough and just failing but still keeping true to his heart and himself <3
Ueda Tatsuya has really proved others her can act with his last two doramas (RunAway and this) I love how different the two characters were in both doramas also <3
O yeah! WHAT A BITCH CHIHARU WAS! I WANTED HE SO EAD!!! Anyways ><
Screencaptures
Look how cute and adorable he is!!! <333
This guy is a good actor. Always makes me happy when he turns up in doramas ^_^ Haha yeah the capsule toys part >< I understand his pain!
Love this guy but MAN what a douche character he played! Proves his acting skills! =]

Review
Originally watched this ALL because Kamenashi Kazuya features RIGHT at the very end >< So I thought 'why not watch it all'. Gotta say... did not think I'd enjoy this when I finished the first episode but by the end I really enjoyed it and wished it was an episode or 2 longer!!
I was also shocked to find KAT-TUN's song as the Theme Song!! *dances*
It was really cute like, yeah why can't there be real life heroes in life!! haha and the tattoo lark was hilarious and that the main's was on his butt and later you discover how he got it xD Hilarious. I was shocked and loved how Daito Shunsuke was in it and played almost like the flumsy but successful guy who had NO idea they all hated him! haha xD
Love how they protrayed the dragon and everything doing voxpops throughout and things ^_^
Yusuke Santamaria was great in this also. So funny how he was all TEAM LEADER! TEAM LEADER! DO GROUP STUFF! Then all of a sudden I AM THE MASTER AND THE DRAGON SLAYER! FORGET ABOUT BEING TEAM LEADER!! xDD
