Asakura Keita, 35, is an all-around nice guy who is a primary school teacher from rural Nagano Prefecture. His recently deceased father had been a Diet (House of Representatives) member from Kyushu and Keita finds himself under pressure to inherit his father's position and seat. Although Keita has no political aspirations, he agrees to run as a Diet candidate for his father's seat to get everyone off his back permanently. Backing from some sharp political operatives sweeps him into the Diet, which leads to a shot at the Prime Minister’s position. Once elected, he finds himself bounced about and manipulated by the elders of the Seiyuto (Political Friends Party) as he tries to use his power to change things for the better. But can a small town former primary school teacher really effect the change he feels his country needs? (Source: MyDramaList) Edit Translation

Reviews
Altough it is a political drama ,the amount of actual poltics involved is quite low. Its not very hardcore. Its quite lighthearted occasionaly but takes itself seriously overall.
It starts out very well but unfortunately in the middle they decided to add a huge melodramatic block spanning 2 episodes which i found very boring. They put too much focus on the not romantic relationship of the main actor and the secretary which ruined the whole series for me. It just lacks content unfortunately, but overall it isnt a bad drama. So if you are interested in a human drama spiced with a little politics give it a shot.
