Nakuna, Hara-chan ep.1

Here will be my review of Nakuna, Hara-chan episode 1. It was actually quite challenging to find a subbed episode. My usual websites didn't have Nakuna. There is actually a LiveJournal community that has subbed 9 episodes (and actively subbing), what a relief! Here is their website : http://tk0xsubs.livejournal.com/
There is some rules though, you can't share their subbed episode on any websites like youtube, dramacrazy, dramafever and torrents website as well like D-addicts.
To download the episodes, you have to have a LiveJournal account, make a request to join their community and write a comment on their first entry.
When you are accepted (it took only a few hours for me), the entry called "project list" has all the episodes for download.


Now on to the review.


Synopsis ( from DramaWiki):

Echizen-san is a timid, thirty-something single female who pours out her daily stress in a manga that she draws every day as a diary. The main character of her manga is Hara-chan, a man who rambles on about his complaints to his friends in an izakaya bar. Always regretting that he can never speak up for himself and taking the blame for everything — he is the projection of Ms. Echizen’s deepest feelings.

However, one day, Hara-chan's world begins to shake, and he learns "God up above is angry”... In a magical warp, Hara-chan finds himself taken out of his two dimensional world and into reality as a true man. Hara-chan ventures out to find “God” and happens to meet Echizen-san who is taken aback by Hara-chan, a strange man who suddenly appears before her. Will Echizen-san realize that he is indeed the person sketched in the pages of her daily manga and that she has manifested a man?

My impressions:

What would happen if the characters in a manga you create become alive? This drama is about Hara-chan (played by Nagase Tomoya), a character in a manga, who comes to our world and his mission is to make the manga creator happy. The drama was as hilarious as the idea sounds. The way that this is presented in the drama was not serious at all, which made it really funny. The acting was really good too, with Nagase Tomoya's comedy style. If you like that actor, watch this!
I personally enjoy a story where the character is discovering a new world, our world, where they are innocent and unaware of things. This drama was just that.
I will be watching all the episodes for sure. You will like this title if you are looking to watch something very funny and light. However, if you do not like Nagase Tomoya's acting type, I do not recommend this for you.
