My Review

I’ve enjoyed watching this. This is the first series that I’ve watched on a streaming site. haha. One thing that attracted me is the mystery behind who the suspect is in every episode. Its a fun typr of Detective drama....unlike Detective Conan Live Action which is too much serious...hehehe

I love class Q. All of them are good. The actors/actress have acted well. But I am really into Ryuu (Yamada), I don’t know if it’s his personality or because Yamada’s the one acting but he’s my favorite. He is so kawaii!!!! His mysterious role really gave the story a twist!!!!Sugoi!!!

Moreover, I like how Kyuu values friendship. Kyuu’s selfless, his trust in Ryuu till the end is unbelievable. Their friendship is strong, and from that one can learn a lot. I’ll surely miss watching this, I’d still want to see the Kyuu-Megu-Ryuu Love Triangle. ^^

Here’s an excerpt of one of my fav. parts (involving Kyuu-Megu-Ryuu):

Ryuu have just gotten out from the hospital, Megu was feeding him, this was the scene when Kyuu, Kinta and Kazuma arrived.

Megu: Here, say aahh

Ryuu: Aahh (as he ate the hotdog Megu giving him)

Megu: Here, say aahh (as she handing the fried egg to Ryuu-sama)

Ryuu: Aah..AH! ( the two separate immediately)

Kinta: Hey, Hey, Since when did you two start having that kind of relationship?

Kyuu: Ah, t-that kind of relationship?

Ryuu: Kinta, Kinta it’s a misunderstanding, misunderstanding!

Kazuma: To think that Ryuu and Megu were going out.. You got me there.

Kyuu: Going out.. (shocked expression)

Megu: Ryuu, since it came to this, do you want me to announce that we’re dating?

Kyuu:Dating…

Ryuu: If you don’t stop, I’ll get mad.

Megu: Ryuu, you’re no fun. He’s still in pain, so I was just helping him

Kinta: Oh, that’s how it is, huh?

Kazuma: I almost doubted Ryuu’s tatse.

Megu: Hey Kazuma, what do you mean by that?

Kazuma: Ah, nothing. Nothing-

That scene was really fun!!! I can say that this is the best J-dorama I've seen so far! Maybe because of Ryuu-sama!!!! kawaii!!!!!! Tantei Gakuen Q should also been aired here in the Philippines!!! (but its not for soft-hearted people...there are brutal scenes here...yet it is very entertaining!!!)

DO NOT SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT RYUU-SAMA OR MEGU-CHAN, OR ELSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!grrrrr...............

ja ne ^^
