Jay Quintana Dec 01 2014 11:32 am Fun series, great characters. Sometimes things get a little too silly, though.

sai Mar 19 2014 8:35 pm yagi yuki looks like mayuyu

John Sep 22 2012 9:31 pm I'm on episode 7 right now and I have to say I've been enjoying this drama. Shinobu sensei can be tough but also kind. This drama reminds me of the drama School!! with Yosuke Eguchi - each episode somehow revolves around one or more students and then the rest of the series they are more like extras (with the exception of the 3 main boys + the narrator). I find it funny how Shinobu and Honma try to start something but are constantly interrupted by both Shindo and Haruna. Even though he is credited towards the bottom of this list, the story is narrated in the eyes of Oshiro. More so, the Harada boys are portrayed by real life brothers, making their family moments more real like.

For those who are wondering, in Episode 7, the young boy is portrayed by So Koyama (who portrayed as Taiyo in "Good Life, Arigatou Papa, Sayonara").

Whida Aug 12 2012 10:01 am Aahh~ cant wait for this drama! Hope someone would uploaded and make the subtitles for this drama~!!!

I miss Teppei so bad! ><

And he still kawaii ne~ ^^

nooneisthefavorite Aug 01 2012 11:33 am Naniwa Shounen Tanteidan has a weak storyline. I like teppei koike and mikako tabe together but their development progress in the story is slow. The ratings in the beggining of the series is weak then at some episode it rise (hope it continues). At some point now, the only reason why i'm still watching it is because of the casts cause they're just so good together (teppei (167cm) looks taller with mikako (154cm) cause they're both small, how cute is that!!??)

Yuan Jul 23 2012 8:31 pm haha.. this time it's sawako and otani together X) kawaii...

MrBoun1231 Jul 11 2012 5:31 am i hope for some romance in here.. i think they are cute together :)
