Below 18 years old are not allowed to LOVE. The drama revolves around 4 high school boys that found themselves as the last virgins in the school. Asai Shouhei nicknamed Shou-chan (played by Kazunari Ninomiya of Arashi) lives with his family that runs a drugstore. He has a crush on his temporary teacher Isuzu Mochizuki (played by Yumiko Shaku) and wishes that she should be his first. Iwasaki Kengo nicknamed Kenken (played by Tomohisa Yamashita of NEWS) is a train freak, he lives with his single mom that runs a love hotel. They usually hang out there to listen to paying customers (basically kinda of peeping). Among the four friends, he is the only one who has a girlfriend named Fujisawa Sonoko. Udagawa Hayato nicknamed Udayan (played by Hiroki Narimiya) is a band member. He is probably the most obsessed in peeping under girl’s skirt. Due to lack of self confidence, the Amazons pick of him the most. Enami Kouji nicknamed Kou-kun (played by Oguri Shun ^_^) is the soccer ace player. Although there are girls that ask him out he is still have no girlfriend. He has a weird habit when talking to girls and starts to mumble that ends up in turning any offer from them. They were dubbed as DB4 or Doutei Boys 4 (Doutei means Virgin) by the Amazons and a famous love celeb named Naoya Kume (played by Takashi Tsukamoto). Now they struggle to graduate from it but their life changes when his childhood friend, Oowada Chie (played by Suzuki Anne) came to visit them for unknown reason.
I really don’t know exactly how I think of this drama. There are so many issues that were tackled, there’s pre-marital sex, the issue of on sex education and the pressure among your peers. Honestly, I haven’t gone through that thing they are trying to lose and I’m proud of it and I’m glad that I’m not in their position cause I’ll probable have gone crazy.
As for the issued tackled I have my opinions on it and it would take me years to write it, especially that I’m a clutter head. This is probably the one drama that everybody should watch. It’s a way of lightly tackling these issues that some people would ignore and consider taboo. And its funny too so watch it, ne?
