I'm not usually a fan of manga adapted dramas but I enjoyed this show so far. It's definitely one of my top favourites this season, alongside First Kiss and Papa to Musume no Nanokakan.

With regards to what greyhorse mentioned, I'll have to agree as well. I really like her office wear. They're simple but yet classy. I kinda like the sports wear she wears at home too. Laugh

I've kinna scanned through almost every single pilot drama of the season and Hotaru no Hikaru stands out as my fav in terms of storyline. I think there is a little bit of Hotaru in most young adult females these days, conforming to society pressures on how you should behave and look is quite tiring at times. When you're at home, being able to laze and just be a bum is pure heaven!

Ini terms of cast assembled, the natural acting talent isn't as strong as say the First Kiss cast. But i'll give Hotaru No Hikaru first runner-up cos they casted actors who are extremely well suited for their roles. Ayase is a natural beauty herself and comes across very convincingly as someone who doesn't really have much beauty regime but still looks good enough to attract the attention of the most desired guy in the office. Her innocent nature really brings out the what is so adorable abt Hotaru. Naohito Fujiki is in his natural element as the good looking, elite mid 30s man... but unlike some of his more recent drama outings who casts him as too dry and nice a guy... Takano buzhou is self centered and too opinated at times (but that makes him fun and dorkish) but you have to love him for always being able to snap out of his element at crucial times and be there for Hotaru when she needs him. Kato Kazuki as Teshima Makoto seems somewhat a weaker casting but he's not that experienced an actor and perhaps epi 1 is too early to pass anything on him yet.

I'm really liking this so far...

Hotaru/Seiichi?

Hotaru/Makoto?

...I'll go for the first one for now Laugh

Ok, I just noticed something else. For a girl who wants to do nothing more than to roll around at home in sweats, her sense of fashion is too tastefull. What she's worn so far at work is always subdued without being demure. Classy without being too chic. Delicate, but modern. IMO, dead-on perfect. I LOVE every outfit she's worn. To go from that to bright yellow and reds at home is too much of a stretch. Clothes reflect our personalities and judging by what she's worn so far, she's mentally ill.

Ok, back to your regularly scheduled programming.
I noticed the same thing. I just had to suspend my disbelief for that. No matter how much of a natural beauty you are, but if you don't take care of yourself, you can look horrible quickly.

Even if she is just careful dressing for work, but finding the right clothes and cosmetics takes hours of poring over magazines and shopping everyday. Also, not watching her diet and drinking so much beer would have devastating effect on her skin and complexion which can only be repaired by changing her diet and/or spending hours and hours a week at a salon and gym.

There is a reason why those people are called dried fish. Their appearance and demeanor are quite different because of their diet and lifestyle. Yes, there may be natural beauty, but beauty does not come naturally and require huge amount of work.

Dunno if anyone else see it in this way, but I find 20:38 - 2200 (ep1) particularly witty and fun to watch.
It's like watching Hotaru as an adorable version of a wolf in sheep's clothing. Laugh
Adds character to her being a "himono-onna" I guess. Scratching chin

Well, there is this thing called youth that can work wonders. When you're young, your body can take a lot of abuse. Of course, you will eventually see these effects as your body takes its toll. But I personally know people who just don't care what they eat and do, but yet they still have perfect skin and form. Youth is quite a wonderful thing.
