So it has begun! We were not dreaming, my friends. Ahaha. In January 8th, 2008, a new DRAMA era has begun, the SAEYAKA era!!!
The drama is called 正しい王子のつくり方 (tadashii ouji no tsukurikata). In a rush I translated the title as "The right way to create a prince," but now I think a more accurate translation would be "How to create the ideal prince."
It is aired every Tuesday at 5:30pm by TV Tokyo. You can find it's official web site here.
Until now, I've only read comments in English about the boys so come on, let's give SaeYaka some love.
The drama is basically how some horrible, terrible, ugly guys arrive to a female school and their females classmates try to produce them (no girl wants an ugly male classmate, right?).
Oh right, we have 10 new guys and each one will be produced by one girl. However, 5 boys and 5 girls will get most of the attention. Sayaka is in!
Oh, very important, Sayaka's character is called "Natsuki Kiryuu" (桐生夏輝). She's a strong girl, the leader of the volleyball team (she seems to play every sport at Earth, though), a heart-breaker, and we will probably see her carrying a dumbbell every episode.Sae's character is a secondary one but she's in and ehhh, I think we will have lots of SaeYaka scenes!!! Her character is called "Koharu Kido" (城戸小春), and she's also part of the volleyball team.
The guy Sayaka (Natsuki) is going to produce is called "Kirin Yoshiyuki" (吉行麒麟) and he's performed by Ren Kiriyama.
Ok, let begin with the summary of the first episode. I posted this at Stage48 but... still :P I'll debug my writing in here.
***
That's her and her counterpart at the drama intro... She's a sheriff (*___*)
The story begins when we are showed a girl who's running to school. She looks to be the protagonist of this drama. In her path, she finds a guy reading at a street corner. The girl is called Nami.
Nami arrives to her school...

The school is called somewhat like "Seika School for Ladies."
They have the hot girls group, too.

Nami finds the VOLLEY BEAUTY TEAM!

Something interesting about this drama is that (until now) there is NO rivalry among the students. It's quite usual to see lots of bullying at school dramas so thanx god for doing of this a comedy, no bullying!
Nami enters her classroom and she finds a classmate who's writing "Happy New Year" at the white board and, very important, she's drawing a princess and a prince...

Nami again, once in the classroom, looks through the window and sees a guy. She wonders what a man is doing in the school.

The guy is the same one she saw at the street. She rubs her eyes and she looks again, the guy is gone... "A hallucination"?, she wonders.
All the girls in the class are gathered and the vice-director goes to the classroom to say "happy new year" and to give "an important information"....
Yes, this is a ladies school... however... 10 guys will join the class!
Wuaaaaaaa!!!!
Seika School has become a Mixed School!
Girls are excited, they cannot believe it.

The vice-director says the info is over and says at loud: douzo! (come in!)

"Come in what?", the girls are in shock... Yes, the boys are there outside waiting to come in. The girls begin to make up, comb their hair, etc.
LOL. This is fun, Sayaka (Natsuki) has her dumbbell at one hand and she wipes her sweat with a towel with the other hand. (*^___^*)
That's sexy... Hahaha, I'm crazy.
Guys are in!!!!
The girls look at them, turning their head slowly...
Guys are shown... They are.... Terrible! A starter:

Sayaka's counterpart!!!!
Actually, this is not a bad capture of him. He looks cute... I should have taken another one. This is not really scary...
The guys are the freakiest of the freakiest.
Let down!

The class is very depressed, no guy looks fine, no one.
This is, in my opinion (Ange's), the most hilarious part. Girls let their mirrors, combs, lipsticks (in Natsuki's case, a dumbbell) fall. Then their heads... Synchrony... ROFL.
The guys introduce themselves.
We have:
The one who takes pictures.
The one who swears he's on a gang (Yakuza maybe? I say so because of his jacket).
The guitar one.
The one who knits
The one who thinks he's a superstar (the weaver one twin brother)
The nerd-geek one who wants everyone's cell number.
The one who seems to be taken from a baroque anime, all is poetry and elegance for him.
The crazy one (Kirin).
The bad guy who says nothing but is full of wounds from street fights.
And the "normal" guy, which is a "buy an island" guy. I mean... He studies and... There's no life beyond that.
The last one is the same one of the street and outside the school that Nami saw. They recognize each other.
While the guys were introducing themselves, girls were getting scared and more scared. Poor them. At this point, Sayaka's counterpart goes to her and says "kawaii". Our Natsuki tries to run away and then we can see a notorious SaeYaka scene. Here, a GIF of it.
During the lunch, looks like Natsuki is having some barren contact with Kirin...

Oh Sayaka... If you pointed me like that... (^0^)
These guys have no cure!

Our girls are depressed, look like their lives are becoming the same hell.
They convince Nami (the delegate of the class) to talk to their teacher about the guys. Nami will not find positive results, though.
Ohhh we have a "girls v/s boys" basketball game in the sport class!

Look at the score, girls get the points...
And notice where is Sae (Koharu) looking...
Yeah! She's looking at our "lay-up shoot" queen, Natsuki!!!

No one can stop her :)
The other guys are not into the game, one is sleeping, another one reading, dancing, emailing... The ones who are playing suck, too.
Girls are angry! "Take it seriously!", they say.
After the sport, girl are in a bad mood, suddenly, one of them (from the hotties group) has an idea...
"Why don't we change them?"
"Hum"?
Yes, the idea is changing the guys until they become princes.... They seem to like the idea.

They made up their mind after discussing, they'll take the risk.
Girls choose Nami again to tell the guys their decision.
They gather the boys at the roof and inform them that Nami has something to say. Nami begins the speech but she forgets the last part so she receives some help from her classmates:
"You guys are gonna be produced!!"

Cute pose.

Natsuki's cute pose :)
And the prince flag!

The same sketch the girl with glasses was drawing at the white board at the beginning.
The guys are "eh?", but they don't seem to say no. Girls are happy.
Sae at credits! (See the red mark)
