i love the trailer! im excited for this drama because the story is intriguing and i also like to see Fukuda Saki as a villain. she's one of the best young actress even though she does not get that much attention unlike her other peers.

Best manga ever now maybe best drama ever?

Sandra121289 · Post by **Sandra121289** » Jun 27th, '07, 17:17

i'm also very excited to see this^^
3 more days until the first episode airs^^

tsksquared · Post by **tsksquared** » Jun 27th, '07, 18:53

The manga is quite scary and crazy. Even though I don't really want to watch another bullying/ijime drama again, I want to watch this.

Moondy · Post by **Moondy** » Jun 27th, '07, 22:22

I never see the manga..and the trailer doesn't excite me...:/

Sandra121289 · Post by **Sandra121289** » Jun 28th, '07, 07:55

the trailer doesn't excite me too, but i'd like to see at least the first episode..
i was always interested in dramas with this plot^^

x_XJules · Post by **x_XJules** » Jun 28th, '07, 08:03

wow sounds heavy. i've never heard of this manga but i read one that was kind of similar. if it's done the right way this could be a good drama ^^ i might have to go check out the manga now ^^

I'm looking forward to this drama since I love the manga.

The site was update and there's the Episode 1 description and trailer. For some reason, I can't watch the trailer probably because it's restricted to Japan or something? Did anybody watch it and is it the same as the YouTube promo?

tsksquared · Post by **tsksquared** » Jun 28th, '07, 21:26

Yeah, I think the acting is going to be very important in this drama. If you read the manga, you see some of the most twisted grins EVER. I sure hope those girls can pull it off.

Ok, I watched the trailer thing in the "Intro" page and it's the same thing from the youtube. There's some clips in "Special" section that's all about filming the drama and the a really long trailer from the scenes from the 1st episode.

kagurazaka · Post by **kagurazaka** » Jun 30th, '07, 12:53

awesome!! I can't wait for this dorama. hope it's gonna be subbed.
the manga is Superb, though a bit scary and sad, the storyline is good. One of the best Manga

lol, just watched the raws~ And since I never read the manga, I'm sorta confused about what's going on. ^^; Can someone tell me through pm or w/e where I can find the manga?

Sakuranantogay · Post by **Sakuranantogay** » Jul 1st, '07, 18:43

I thought it was pretty cool, or interesting, whatever.. Lot of fucked up **** going on. I've never read the manga, so I don't have anything to compare the drama with, but imo it looks promising. Some of the girls were cute too ><

The manga had waaaaaay more impact on me. The drama is toned down.

kagurazaka · Post by **kagurazaka** » Jul 2nd, '07, 05:09

i'm totally dissapointed with this dorama. it not as dramatic as the manga, and looks plain. they change most of the story, and i really dont feel Ayumu sufferness and mental imbalance

ChouLinda · Post by **ChouLinda** » Jul 3rd, '07, 20:50

Oh man, I wanna see this drama sooo bad, even the raw! I saw in the special how it looked like so much was changed but still, I wanna see it!

opseudo · Post by **opseudo** » Jul 3rd, '07, 21:03

Great Music, Great Ending. Loved it.

I haven't read the manga at all - maybe that's better.
Seems to become my summer favourite.

sugiboogie · Post by **sugiboogie** » Jul 3rd, '07, 23:17

can someone show me a direct link to ep 1??

microsoftExcelExcel · Post by **microsoftExcelExcel** » Jul 4th, '07, 03:12

I'm really curious about this show. I saw the cast on Nakai Masahiro's Bowling Show, and they look interesting. And wow, the main characters are actually of high school age.

Does anyone know who's subbing the show?

Cyrene wrote:WHAT. WAS. THAT.

Shii-chan killing herself? Hiro getting teased in the FIRST EPISODE?! WHAT DID THEY DO TO MY FAVORITE MANGA SERIES? Sako hitting on the teacher in the FIRST EPISODE? I mean, I understand that it's going to be a slightly short series, but come on. The only thing that redeemed itself was the AWESOME ending, the way they actually kept some of my favorite parts of the 1st part of the manga (the tamagoyaki part), and the fact that Ayumu is freaking awesome.

The actress for Manami is right on and evil. They got the friends names wrong too, I believe. Not an Emi in sight. Boo.

That said, I will still watch it. Just...with a bit of disappointment.

Really?! I haven't watched it yet...patiently waiting for subs

But ever since I heard that this was going to be made into a drama...I was so excited!!!
Love the manga <3

As long as they still make a decent show out of it...I'll be happy.

Post by **Keiko1981** » Jul 5th, '07, 16:21

At the moment I'm reading the 3rd vol of Life. Personally I like "Confidential Confessions" by Reiko Momochi better.
Still I will watch this serie.

Yeah I hear a lot of people compare the two, so I really wanna read Confidential Confessions. Do you know if the manga's been released in English?

As for the LIFE drama, I finally saw a raw. As people have said, the first episode moves too fast to make an impact for me and they've changed a lot, but I really enjoyed it and I think as long as it can still hook people who HAVEN'T read the manga despite how much ground it covered from the beginning, it's a good start!

xmoonprincessx · Post by **xmoonprincessx** » Jul 6th, '07, 02:18

SOS Fansubs is subbing this. We're working on it right now...its still in the translating process so please be patient!

EIther myself or someone else (although right now it seems most likely it will be me) will upload this the minute SOS releases ^^ hope you all enjoy!

furransu · Post by **furransu** » Jul 6th, '07, 02:26

kitano kii is so cute ^^ cant wait for the subs! ganbatte!

fto_osakadreams · Post by **fto_osakadreams** » Jul 6th, '07, 02:29

Ne, thanks for subbing this. I'm really excited to see Saki as an evil charecter. She was really sweet in Jitensha Shonenki and cute in Haikei, Chichiue-sama so this is a complete 180 from everything I've seen her in.

This drama seems really intense though.

OMG I guess it's going 2 be gr8 as the manga 'hope sooo'

will am downloading it right now & i'll see it when i finish downloading

wish someone can have softsubs 4 it

will be back 2 say what i've understood 4rom the eps01

ladymurasaki · Post by **ladymurasaki** » Jul 6th, '07, 19:13

Wow, is this the anti-Hana Yori Dango or what. It's also pretty gripping and it's hard not to wonder how the characters are all going to turn out.

It's so interesting how it has elements of HYD, but without the wish fulfillment. You have the two kids who are children of heads of companies and who are dating. You have a girl torn between wanting to stand up for herself and wanting to fit in. It's quite a daring story.

reiyuki · Post by **reiyuki** » Jul 9th, '07, 03:44

i like the manga i'm still stuck at volume 3 though...
and i hope to watch the drama with subs soon !! ^.^

Yorokobi · Post by **Yorokobi** » Jul 12th, '07, 01:33

Well by the sounds of it, its better to come into this drama as I have without reading the manga.
I may read it after the drama finishes but for now the drama is plenty sadistic enough for me. I am enjoying it though, just wish it wasnt on so late. Episode two was crazy. Is it still going really fast compared to the manga. Its unfourtunat that they have to do tha, always seem to cut out some of the best parts.

reiyuki · Post by **reiyuki** » Jul 12th, '07, 05:44

o___0 i saw the first episode well i guess they can't put some parts from the manga into the drama

namie · Post by **namie** » Jul 14th, '07, 16:54

Is there a website where watch the episode 3 in streaming?

I can't wait!! Please somebody help me!

Yorokobi · Post by **Yorokobi** » Jul 15th, '07, 02:42

I saw the 3rd episode last night! OMG these people are so psychotic I love it!!!

smaps · Post by **smaps** » Jul 15th, '07, 07:32

Another amazing, fantastic, psychotic, creepy, perfectly orchestrated episode...

I must admit, I really don't like manga in the least, but after this series there's no way I'm not buying the entire friggin' set. Screw Mean Girls, LIFE is where it's at. I love how Manami and her gang aren't just inherently evil - they're bitchy, sure, but it's not like they've ALWAYS hated Ayumi, and they've even defended her a few times - unlike in any other ~ijime~ drama where it Manami would be like, "I HATE YOU, ALWAYS, FOREVER, LET ME TAUNT YOU ENDLESSLY NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO THE REST OF YOUR LIFE". It's a much more human/realistic portrayal considering how easy it would have been for the staff to just write Manami off as some delusional, flouncy, twisted japanese schoolgirl beast who wanted to murder everyone in her path.

I cannot WAIT for episode 4. Keep up the good work, S.O.S., you've got a lot of other projects so no rush.

I think this is definitely a drama that can be easily watched and understood/engaging without subtitles, anyways. (There's not much in the way of incredibly important plot details to be missed.) That being said, I'll definitely be looking forward to future releases.

Yorokobi · Post by **Yorokobi** » Jul 15th, '07, 07:38

Did you just sugest MatsuJun as a rapist!!!! How could you!!!! (devoted MatsuJun fan here in case you couldnt tell ^_^)
But I agree this episode was done fantastically and I understand what you mean when you talk about Katsumi, you just cant look away, his creepy evilness drags you in

HAHA, look, I can't help it that Katsumi-kun instantly reminded me of MatsuJun.....and then happened to become a psycho, voyeuristic sleazeball several scenes later. But hey, MJ's doing his sister in [Boku no Imouto], and...

Yorokobi · Post by **Yorokobi** » Jul 15th, '07, 07:48

still id prefer to keep MatsuJun as unsleazy as possible in my mind ^_^

The first episode isn't subbed yet, is it?
I was tempted to watch the raw, but i wouldn't understand anything.
Anyways, the story seems interesting, so I can't wait to watch it.

Manatsu · Post by **Manatsu** » Jul 20th, '07, 23:29

So far..

Anyway, downloading episode 3 now.

How is it going with the subs?
3 weeks past and episode 1 subs are not out yet?
Are you guys ok?
Please give us the status for episode 1 otherwise some might think you dropped this dorama or you just lost the interest.

Good luck with the subs.

Yorokobi · Post by **Yorokobi** » Jul 22nd, '07, 02:48

episode 3 is just as good as the first two.

Manatsu · Post by **Manatsu** » Jul 27th, '07, 01:38

Since there is no status/progress update, I'll post it (I dont want people give up on this dorama or I dont want them to think that S.O.S. dropped it).

For everyone who still is interested.

The subs for LIFE episode 1 are being edited. So hopefully they will release it soon.

LIFE

I dont know myself.
According to FUJI TV dorama schedule, there wont be LIFE episode 5 this week.

Sorry guys.

Also i'm a bit angry about this but we cant change that.
Lets wait one week more..

NONE of the dramas are airing next week (as far as I am aware) because of the political elections in Japan coming up.

That's what I meant (got the timing schedule screwed up because of the way subs for other dramas were released). Yama Onna Kabe Onna and Hanakimi weren't airing this week for the same reason; for the others, I'm not sure.

I still maintain the reason it'd be postponed is because of upcoming elections but w/e, I'm not going to argue about it in the drama discussion. On the bright side, at least Ayumu gets a few days of rest from her ijime misadventures.

Papa to Musume no Nanokakan wont air tomorrow as well duo the elections.

ou gad, papa to musume -- THAT'S what I was thinking of, hahaha. (This is why watching 10+ dramas during one season is not advisable). Sorry for the confusion! (:

meh, elections. if japan is willing to vote someone in just because they used gundam wing slogans, i think the seriousness of the entire thing has been compromised enough. air our dramas, japan! we need them to survive.

Er...Life 5 was not preempted because of elections here in Japan. The elections have absolutely nothing to do with it. From 19:00 July 28th to 21:15 July 29 (Tokyo) time, a 27 hour charity telethon is being broadcast.

Tell you friend not to feel bad. For awhile I couldn't find the appropriate words for it either. It was certainly presented a little differently from the ones broadcast in my home country.

Now...election news is underway...the results will probably be more angst-ridden than Ayumu's ijime!

Did the weird noise from the assault in episode 2 (?) return in episode five? If so, perhaps it wasn't audio distortion, but Katsumi's "scary" anthem. That boy...is... seriously... messed... up.

Does anyone else want to beat down Ayumi's mother? I despise her far more than I do any of the other characters.

But of course there's a reason behind why he's doing what he's doing.
Note; I stopped watching Life after ep 4. Thinking I might as well wait for the subs.

I think it would have been more interesting if the writers hadn't provided an "excuse" for Katsumi's behavior although I'm sure there's some relevance concerning this abuse angle, so I'll wait for it. On the whole, I find Katsumi cartoonish.

I am curious about one thing though. I wonder if he attempted to rape OTHER girls multiple times. If not, I wonder if Ayumu's innate strength draws him back to her. Just wondering...

I still despise Ayumu's mother. She's had a blatant disregard for her daughter's welfare from the very first episode.
