I hate this series. It was fine until in 8.1 and 8.2 (and the beginning of 9) where the writers and characters totaly disrespect Tomoe's feelings and brush them away as if they were nothing. Don't watch this.
This is great. I never knew it existed. Kind of strange. It sort of follows my own dreams of someday starting my own home dojo and having my daughter helping out.
This is a very good drama. Also, jamu, the girl wasn't forced to learn, she just lost interest in it earlier and is now getting back into it with her dad's issues.
