Bento Beat Boxing: Last Friends

I'm a little late on this one. You know the saying though, "it's better late than never."

This Jdrama is called "Last Friends." While I was in Japan, I watched this show with my fiance. This drama really touches home with the reality of the rising numbers of domestic violence among the many women in Japan. Who would've known eh? I didn't think such a thing was so prominent in Japan. Well, that's just me being ignorant. Knowledge is power people. Keep yourself educated.

Anyways, this drama is a tale of a beautiful young woman named Aida Michiru who is down on her luck. She is bullied at the Beauty Parlor where she works at. Eventually she finds support with a man she befriends, Oikawa Sosuke, a child welfare division worker. Michiru falls in love with this person only to find the relationship gets a little sour and becomes a victim of domestic violence. Alas, Michiru is not a loner. She has friends who support her through trying times only they too get caught in the middle of Michiru and Sosuke's quarrels.

Last Friends is a drama that will have you feeling angry with a clenched fist. It makes you want to beat the shit out of Sosuke for beating his girl. Tackling what happens under Domestic Violence is no easy subject, but Last Friends covers it from head to toe. This is a drama that you definitely don't want to miss.

If you haven't seen the drama yet here's a video to get you started.
