ikebukuro west gate park, another drama i've recently seen. kudo kankuro wrote the screenplay for this, the same writer that gave us kisaratzu cat's eye (one of my all-time favorite dramas). i'd give it 5 stars. i never really liked nagase tomoya 'til now. igwp is as great as kisaratzu cat's eye but in a different way. it's a dark drama and just like mars, i'm amazed i actually liked it... a lot. the cast was great (koyuki, yamashita tomohisa, satoshi tsumabuki, ken watanabe... my favorites) and the storyline was unusual. there was even a point where i was laughing and crying at the same time. :D loved this drama :)
