This BL series is the fourth entry in this years MBS Tunku Drama Shower. It's an adaptation of the opening two books from a six volume manga series of the same name by Toriya Kou. Once again the makers have sought out Jpop idols to star in the main roles; in this instance Takumi Kizu and Rintaro Hachimura from the Jpop group WATWING. Support cast includes Shunta Sono, Daiki Matsumoto, Mamose Takumi ('I Cannot Reach You'), Hori Kaito and Kaede Akiyama. The series is directed by Keisuke Shibata, from a script by Uiko Miura.
Synopsis: "Toki-Kun is a Yankee - the name given to arrogant delinquents who like to argue and get into fights - but despite his appearance he is actually an ethical guy deep down who is both honest and compassionate. Despite his reputation he gains favour with Mr Sahara, who is not only a physical education teacher but also his homeroom master. Sahara is popular due to his bright smile, positive demeanour and genuine care for his students. For Toki, the moment he is the recipient of that bright smile is the moment his whole world changes. It seems like circumstances will herald the loud gong of a straight-gay unrequited love scenario but is that really the case?!"
