Don't know why exactly but I love this crazy series. It's just so wholesome, offbeat and every episode has a heart warming ending. Even the manga inspired corniness of it's premise is charming. No matter which way the wind blows, a parade of hilariously quirky themes, details and recurring friends and foes that run through both seasons, kept me paying attention. It's even educational in many ways. I learned a lot about Japanese city life. The lead realtor Nagase Saichi and his ever-smiling mentor Tsukishita are an odd couple: An adorable pair of young realtors on a quest to succeed in business while doing the right thing, or at least trying to-even if it means losing a commission. The transformation of Nagase, the easy-on-the-eyes, slick con-artist type into Tokyo's most painfully honest realtor, is a fun watch. You just never know what painful truth he'll blurt out next. I hope there's a season 3 but recently read its such a hit series in Japan that it's getting a movie adaptation. Can love ever bloom between clueless N. And sidekick-starstruck T.?? No doubt that's a super-size maybe, but I'm definitely rooting for them. Why not? Maybe the kaze-wind gods are too.
