I think this drama is interesting by itself because I've never read the manga before. It is excessively funny in the beginning as any drama. Of course a lot of the things are exaggerated, very comical.
The storyline builds on really late in the series, but I think it is great. The acting is wonderful as well.
Actually, if you really want to know how manga works, this might just be the perfect drama. It's hilarious and somewhat inspirational, as well as informational.
I would recommend this series for those interested in mangaworks and comedy. It also has a pinch of romance.
The music hasa really nice effects especially at the end of the episode where it leads to something much bigger. So if you like dramas that have those effects (like me) this one is great for you too.
