Synopsis:


Shuji Kiritani (Kazuya Kamenashi) is one of the most popular guys in his school. He is
pretending to care for all of his classmates, but deep down, is quiet and doesn't open up to
others. But for some reason, when his eccentric classmate Akira Kusano (Tomohisa Yamashita)
is around, he can show his true self.

One day, a new girl from another school comes to Shuji's classroom. Her name is Nobuko
Kotani (Maki Horikita). Nobuko = Nobuta. From her gloomy looks, she begins to get harassed
by the class bullies in no time. The harassment was devastating. Her lunch gets ruined, she
gets a vase of flowers on her deskmeaning she had died, and she even gets water splashed
while she is in the toilet booth. After knowing that the bullying is by Bando (FumikoMizuta),
Shuji and Akira advise Nobuko to try to harmonize with others. But Nobuko tells them that
she has tried to do so in the past, but every time it turns out miserable. Shuji tells Nobuko to
have a more positive attitude, and he protects Nobuko from the harassment. However, he
feels that the bullying won't stop that easily.

Hearing about this, Akira comes up with the idea to makeover Nobuko from her looks to
her personality, so that she'd become one of themost popular girls in their school. That way,
there's no way the bullies can harass her. And so Shuji and Akira's greatmake-over begins...
A Cinderella story which portrays the social life of Japanese teenagers. Can this gloomy girl really become popular in her school?

Opinion:



Good friends are hard to come by, and sometimes those reasons are because we often push away others for what we think is best for ourselves. The lack of trust is often a by-product of selfishness.



Nobuta pawaaaaaaa!!!!
