Ugly Betty meets Co-Ed Confidential
mudminnor25 September 2008
It is sort of an Ugly Betty meets Co-Ed Confidential. Some of the scenarios are very comical and others are more realistic. It features Yuuta, the guy every (puberty age and above) male would love to be, and a house full of gorgeous women. Lots of boobage here and would never be allowed on US over-the-air TV, but with cultural differences taken into account this is an amusing 12-episode series.

Take this for what it is, a funny, sexy, not-to-be-taken-seriously fantasy, for the males. It is also a sweet love story for the girls.

It has the small town boy trying to make it into the big city (Tokyo) college. He can't afford rent so he agrees to cook and clean in a "share-house" for the 5 other tenants (which all happen to be incredibly hot women). There is also an evil villain who is continually trying to disrupt the peaceful life of the residents of the "share-house" which the tenants have dubbed Nuutopia (from John Lennon's Imagine).

comedy, boobs, conflict and love...What's not to like?

One of the greatest Nippon series l have ever seen!
ejmbandanna18 January 2020
I am an amateur fan of Japanese/Nippon cinema/ television series, and l have a limited knowledge of The Japanese language, but l have enjoyed this drama series several times! Seto Saki, Asami Yuma and Aoi Sora are all wonderful actresses in this series! This series always makes me laugh and with every viewing l see something new! Watch and enjoy!!
