Synopsis: The original
“Blazing Transfer Student” manga centered around Noboru Takizawa who transfers
to a new high school where all dispute are settled through fights. Right out of
the gate he ends up picking a fight with Ibuki Saburo, the school's bully in an

The live-action series is a sequel set years later with
Noboru now the principal at his own high school where seven students all named
Kakeru transfer in. The seven Kakeru attempt to infiltrate and improve the
school in order to solve a problem with national implication.
Here it is. We Jasmines were waiting for this to be released
in Netflix for almost a year now. For those who doesn't know I am a big fan of
Johnny's WEST who will lead this series and our fandom was called
"Jasmines". Anyway! As I said, the Johnny's group Johnny's WEST will
lead this series which is veryyyyy VERY rare for Johnny's Entertainment.
(The members of Johnny's WEST who
are the seven Kakerus in the series)
Thoughts:
I am not really sure about this old manga "Honnou no Tenkousei". I
only read some information from internet before this series released in
Netflix. But after I watched the whole season in just 4 hours, I understood how
does it work and these seven dorks are just the new generation of the Blazing
Transfer Students. The whole series is very funny as in literally funny that it
will make your stomach in pain of laughing. I am not really bias or something,
but these guys are all from Kansai so they are really have the sense of humor.
To those who doesn't know, even they are not in a drama and just guesting in
some shows, they will make you laugh. That's how good they are. They are not
comedians (maybe they are?) They are idols under the Johnny's agency who is
producing a lot of cool boys in the show business. Shortly speaking, they are
acting very naturally.
Junta which is Nakama Kakeru have the role of Tsukkomi (generally the smarter and more reasonable of the unit, and will criticize, verbally and physically abuse, and generally rail at the boke for their mistakes and exaggerations.) in the drama usually do that in real life with the 6 bokes (arries the meaning of "senility" or "air headed-ness," and is reflected in this performer's tendency for misinterpretation and forgetfulness that receives most of the verbal and physical abuse from the "smart" tsukkomi because of the boke's misunderstandings and slip-ups.)
(Kotaki Kakeru attacks Fujii Kakeru with his lethal move)
The principal of the school joined the seven students who were all named "Kakeru" and one of them is possibly his son and going to inherit the management of the school. In order for the principal will know who is his son, he needs to send them to various (deadly and weird) missions like the Pro wrestling tournament between the new students. They all have their own lethal moves (with weird names).
Cinematography: 10/10
HOHO. being bias? NO. It was a great shot. Video editing is superb. It's a live action with a sense of manga in it. It feels like you are watching something in 80s.
Soundtrack: 10/10
Some sounds (though it is not THAT related to soundtracks) makes you laugh. Also the opneing song is so perfect to the theme of the series. I AM SO BIAS LOL.
Overall: 10/10
A good recommendation to all of your friends. Though some of the scenes are kind of erotic, it will make you laugh too.
