Synopsis |
---|
The “adult school” is a public institution which the government set up based on the Second Compulsory Education Bill in order to halt the declining birthrate problem. It is a school where men and women over 30 who have not had any sexual experience are made to enrol. Elite bank employee Arakawa Hideto (Miura Haruma) is suddenly required to enrol in the school by the country. Despite being agitated about the government’s knowledge of his sexual experience, he reluctantly goes to school. As a condition for graduation, he has to learn romance and lose his virginity in this school where students can start over a youth which they had not experienced during their teens and grow as adults. | JDrama Weblog |

This is one of those dramas that's based on a premise that's so "out there" that it stretches believability - to the point that it diminishes the program as a whole. The government tries to respond to the "birth dearth" crisis in Japan by basically forcing adult virgins to go back to high school, with the only criterion for passing (and thereby gaining their liberty,) being: Have sex with someone. Anyone. Just get it done. Yeah, seriously "out there." Also implausible in the extreme - to say nothing of disturbing, in the sense of a government so blatantly violating human rights. I played along with it despite the huge suspension-of-disbelief required, but there was little in the way of outstanding characterization or storytelling to make it worth the trip. At eight episodes this is a short series, with the last couple episodes having a rushed feel to them, as though the production company had blown through its budget and wanted to wrap things up ahead of schedule. If you're into weird concepts and have a lot of time to burn it's entertaining enough, but from where I sit it was an investment of time with little gained in return. | 2. | Comments by jessiesoon [Rating: 6/10] It's fun and odd! | 3. | Comments by DoramaOnna [Rating: 7/10] Seven out of ten. |
