I read the manga quite some time ago too^^ But I don't remember my impression of it at that time XD All I can say is, I like the current feel of the jdrama. It's sweet and lightly sensual. Reminds me more of 'affogato' than chocolate. Lol! Truly, she was a knot he couldn't get undone no matter how bloody and raw his fingers became.

Well, I've always liked Ishihara Satomi so I'm really glad that she's been casted in the drama as well. Don't like her character's behavior though but she is indeed very cute and also manipulative. Having Shige (NEWS) is also an awesome bonus! For a bit there, ARASHIxNEWS reminds me of SMAPxKISUMAI. Hahahaha!

Looking forward to episode 4 as well :]
