I guess the logical way to start talking about this drama is trying to explain what the term "yankee." This word could be translated into English (in a rather free) and "thug", so named because they are typical kids (and kids, of course) that go around in gangs, carrying iron bars, sticking voices and getting into fights all the time. Let me also that this is the image of "yankee" I'm used to seeing in manga, Japanese dramas and movies because, fortunately or unfortunately, I never met a real one xD.
Daichi, the protagonist of this series, is a Yankee. Dyed her hair (I forgot to say that this is another feature of this "urban tribe"), drinking, smoking and her classmates are afraid. The funny thing is that there was a time when Daichi did not, but was a model student whose aim was the faculty of medicine. However, for reasons I shall not explain because you can see the beginning of the first episode, Daichi change, becoming the person described above.
One morning, her way to school, he meets his classmate, Hana, a person totally opposed to it. For some strange reason, Hana asks him to help get the company to be class and this will be the first one, as Humphrey Bogart would say, of a beautiful friendship that lead to the discovery by Daichi the great secret behind the Hana quiet.
drama This is a fun and quite enjoyable to watch, primarily characterized by the manga style that many love and many others hate. In my particular, I like it, we're going to do: P. There are ten episodes that are seen perfectly, as they have a fast pace mainly using some scripts fresh and, of course, simple.
The best thing for me has been the main partner, formed by Hiroki Narimiya (missed you!) And Naka Riis. There is no doubt that chemistry between them and truly feel that the drama had fallen with the whole team not having a main couple have formed as characteristic as those two. Of course, Daichi and Hana are the two pillars of the series. In fact, the series.
And the bad? Well, as I said, the simplicity of the script, the predictability of the story, the sensation in the viewer is watching a strange mix of previously seen dramas. But eh, we all knew what he had, we can not ask the impossible.
addition, the secondary characters also leave much to be desired. I had many expectations for Hongo Kanata, but his character has been a disappointment capital: first, because it was a character seen ad nauseam in other series and, second, because neither he seemed to feel comfortable playing him. On the other two friends, Seiya and Rinka ... Well, I have nothing to say because not even remember now. My only regret is that something has not given prominence over Arata Furuta my dear father in the role of Daichi.

In conclusion, it is a perfect drama to watch in the dead hours of the day (for example, to snack time xDDD). A serial bit silly but manages to entertain, which is important, especially now that we're seeing, season after season, the dramas are becoming boring.
