You paid attention during 97% of high school!

85-100% You must be an autodidact, because American high schools don't get scores that high! Good show, old chap!

I wonder which question I missed? Probably the one about the worlds three biggest religions? (And I totally slept through way more of highschool than that.)

And speaking of high schools, now I go back to watching the jdrama version of Gokusen, which I am inexplicably addicted to.

I've only seen the first few eps of the anime(but need to fix that) and am ashamed to say I haven't read the manga. But make sure you watch the special, too, as it wraps up the story. I'm also rather fond of the second series, even though Nakama Yukie, Kumai and the head teacher are pretty much the only cast that stays.

ISTR that the anime and manga are fairly close to each other. They've taken a few liberties with details in the live-action version, although they've stayed true to the overall story so far.

That' true of most of the manga adaptations. The Japanese adaptations of manga tend to change up the story, but remain true to the spirit(while the Taiwanese ones, in my experience, stay true to story details but change up character traits and relationships and development)

Huh. Interesting. Well, I'm happy that the details are changed,b ecause it makes me want to keep watching the show. If it had been exactly the same as the anime and manga, it would be too boring. XD

This is why most taiwanese dramas barely hold my attention(that and the fact that they drag everything out and are usually more concerned about pretty actors than good actors) but I love the japanese ones(which are usually better acted and very quickly paced) But yeah, a by-the-numbers adaptation would be dull. Gokusen pretty much made Nakama Yukie and Matsumoto Jun's acting careers, I think, though they're also both singers(and he has the scary-scary JE company backing him)
