Ashiya Mizuki is a Japanese girl who lives in America. After seeing Sano Izumi high jump in a competition, she begins to idolize him. Because of her he is hurt and quits the high jump, so she decides to go to his school and help him. The problem is, he goes to Osaka High, an all boys boarding school. Mizuki disguises herself as a boy and moves to Japan. She and Sano are roomates, and at first he dislikes her. But he finds out her secret (though she doesn't know it) and starts warming up to her. She also befriends Nakatsu, a 'hot-blooded soccer player'.

This show is absoloutely hilarious. I love it. Nakatsu develops feelings for Mizuki and is freaking out through the whole show because he thinks he is gay. Nakatsu's best friend sees ghosts and auras and looks just like a friend of mine. The head of dorm 3, Masao, calls himself Oscar and is completely insane, from wearing a Phantom of the Opera mask to dancing tangos to being possessed.

The downside to this show is that the drama in it gets really lame. REALLY LAME. I can't tell you how tired I got of seeing Sano high jump in slow motion. And the drama in the beach episode was pathetic too. SHE HAD A FREAKING PARASOL.

And the ending was perfect (I LOVE HOW THE DOCTOR ENDED UP!!!), but so sad! But still perfect.

The funny parts totally make up for the lame dramatic parts. This show will make you pee your pants. Seriously. Go watch it.

Four and a half stars!





I chose this music video cuz I loved it. Nakatsu is awesome. Sano is boring. And this video is hilarious.
