If you interest in Japanese Commedians and historical setting, try this Shoujo manga like Asa dora.
When it airing, I really want to watch it but since it's asadora (it has 151 episodes with 15 minutes length each episode) I couldn't committed to really watch it.However recently happen that I able to watch it because my passion as Takahashi Issei's fans.
This asadora start with a little girl (Ten Fujioka) from a traditional medicine maker family meet with a comedian older brother (Tokichi Kitayama) from Osaka in 1904. Later she keep thinking about him until she grow up since periodically she received letters from this comedian brother. Story start when she is arranged to marry the 2nd son of reputable pharmaceutical family owner (Shiori Inoo) which played by Takahashi Issei. And so the story is continuous about how their life's until our heroine in her 50s.
What I like about this drama :
- Many interesting rakugo, manzai and others traditional Japanese comedian since the focus of this story is the comedian agency made by Ten and her husband
- It will gives you second lead syndrome
- Takahashi Issei have many screen time more than I expected
- The story is made accordingly so it's quite easy to understand for foreigners
- Although heroine is the focus of the story, the supporting role also have some part that also show some character developed
- Excellent acting and well done script. Specially material on their jokes really well that it makes able enjoy them separately from the drama
