Nobuta is my first Jdrama, and I'm not sure it will ever be toppled as my favorite. A high school coming of age drama, Nobuta explores the true meaning of friendship, in the moment and forever. I'm not sure I've ever seen a trio of characters portray such a deep level of non-sexual chemistry. They actors together are completely in sync, and the story line is unique, quirky, deeply moving and poignant, and just glorious overall. I am so sad that there were only 10 eposides. I could have watched these characters forever.
