Majisuka Gakuen

Majisuka Gakuen (マジすか学園) is a Japanese drama by the idol group AKB48 and was broadcasted first in 2010 on TV Tokyo. The cast mostly consists of members of AKB48 or their numerous sister groups. A third season is going to air in summer 2012.

Two transfer students, Atsuko Maeda and Onizuka Daruma arrive at Majisuka Gakuen, an all-girls yankee school where fights and violence are common. While Daruma is eager to prove her strength to the strongest group in school, Rappapa, Atsuko does not care about fighting. Soon enough, the Majisuka students learn about Atsuko's true power and force her to fight them.


 * Absurdly Powerful Student Council - The strongest group - the wind instrument club Rappapa - is feared by everyone and de facto considered the top of the school.
 * Adults Are Useless - Whereas all students possess fighting skills, the school staff seems to be mostly made of average humans not affecting the plot at all.
 * Berserk Button - Unlike most students, Atsuko is reluctant to any fighting. Until you ask her whether she is serious.
 * Bloodier and Gorier - For a drama based on an idol group, one would think that it'll be something light and happy, right? Definitely wrong.
 * And then, there is the Gekikara episode, which is much gorier and more cruel than everything else until this point.
 * Combat Sadomasochist - Gekikara does not care about winning or losing but takes and throws punches alike just for the sake of violence while giggling like a maniac.
 * Explaining Your Power to the Enemy - Happens with the Kabuki Sisters. Daruma even comments on this: "Are you a commentator?"
 * Loads and Loads of Characters - The first season alone features at least 30 girls from AKB48 or their sister groups.
 * New Transfer Student - The first episode starts with two transfer students, Atsuko and Daruma, joining Majisuka Gakuen.
