Shūji Kiritani (Kazuya Kamenashi) is a very popular high school boy whose girlfriend is Mariko Uehara (Erika Toda), the most popular girl in school. Despite his popularity among other students, he is relatively alone with Akira Kusano (Tomohisa Yamashita) as the only person he hangs out with, despite constantly claiming that he can't stand the other boy. One day, a very shy girl, Nobuko Kotani (Maki Horikita) comes to school and she instantly gets picked on by a few other girls for her shyness. Shūji and Akira then decide to "produce" her, or make her popular. They nickname her "Nobuta".
Of course, producing Nobuta is not an easy task, especially when a mysterious person is trying to ruin all of Shūji and Akira's efforts..................i shan't add the rest coz i havent finished watching it myself...
In one of the epi of 'nobuta wo produce' , there is an event "114" in the school when you can confess to the person that u like...& the reason of it being called 114 is that 114 means "I-i-yo" (I-i-yo ->114->"yes")...& it's the response that the 'challenger' would like to hear...& it will start counting down from day 114...But...only 1 person can do it each year...The challenger will stand beneath 2 pails which is connected to two strings that the person being confessed to is supposed to choose 1 & pull...If the person says "yeah, i like you too", den it's gd...Flower petals fall from above and everyone congratulates the couple...But if u r denied...water falls from above...However this time due to the some circumstances...nobuta, someone who is constantly picked on, is forced to confess to shuji...the one who is nobuta's producer...It's a test of the friendship of 'nobuta project team' as shuji for the fear of losing his popularity will most likely choose to pour water on her...Although nobuta doesn't mind shuji pouring water on her...akira keeps reminding shuji of the fact that once a heart is broken, it's not gonna recover that easily...though he ends up 'threatening' shuji, it's all for the best of nobuta being able to change herself...No matter how shuji acts that he doesn't care...he does and doing his 'maze' thg lots of time so that he will get the flower ans in the end...cz he liked the 'him' when he was with them w/o needing to put on a facade & act cool to be popular...
I wonder how would i feel if i was being poured water in front of everybody...anw i think jap is realli fun with all sorts of interesting events...n i like school festival too when they will come up with a theme n do wadever they wan to the classroom or to the sch!
