junpei mizocendol Mar 06 2013 8:36 pm wow look at the assortment of young actors and actress....they played in torrents of real good shows and displayed nice performances, like in Suzuki Sensei, Himizu, Confessions, Kirishima is Quitting the Club, etc. No such things as overpushed, incapable actress/actors in this show. The presence of seasoned actors like Ito and Yuusha...ehm I mean Yamada would add up the greatness of this show. I'm really sure the overall acting will be great as ever
