Nobuta wo Produce: Difference between revisions

 

It was originally based on a book by Shiraiwa Gen, but differs greatly from the book in that Nobuta's gender and Shuji's personality were altered, as well as the inclusion of the fan-favourite character Akira. The series is widely loved by fans of J-dramas, and is often applauded for it's fantastic use of lighting, characterization, morals, plot, music and writing. It covers such themes as love, friendship, betrayal, trust, learning when not to give up and when it is a good idea to give in, and the possibility that people can change the way they interact with the world.

 

* [[Adaptation Distillation]]: The drama is generally loved more than the original book.

* [[Character Development]]: Almost every major and minor character shows growth during the series, in very realistic and refreshingly different ways.

* [[Cool Old Lady]]: Catherine.

* [[The Eeyore]]: Nobuta is an interesting subversion. What with her head always down, her sad school life and her being unable to properly smile, one would think she's this -- but she's actually quite optimistic, and usually sees a brighter side of things than Shuji and Akira do.

* [[Freudian Excuse]]: Bando. {{spoiler|Boyfriend abuses her → She abuses Nobuta.}}

* [[Throw It In]]: Many of Akira's lines and character traits were ad-libbed by the actor.

* [[True Companions]]: Shuji, Akira and Nobuta (and debatably, Mariko too.)
