Honoka Miki is STILL the Cutest Thing Ever!!

Really been enjoying the Issei Takahashi drama “Bokura wa Kiseki de Dekite Iru”, the story of an eccentric school professor named Kazumi Aikawa (Takahashi) gifted with a huge knowledge of insects and wildlife but not much in the way of regular social interaction-

The gawky teacher at first stuns his bored students with his quirky behavior, but his unusual ways of teaching, with strange props, field trips and “out-of-the-box” writing projects eventually captivates both the attention AND interests of the kids!

 

Though all Aikawa’s students become spellbound by him, the show focuses on four students in particular, Sakura Ozaki (Kana Kita), Takumi Suda(Ryohei Hirota), Ryutaro Shinzo (Daigo Nishihata), and Kotone Aoyama.

They all look up to Aizawa, and none more than precocious Kotone, played by the pretty Honoka Yahagi (nee Miki) who is so swept up in Aikawa’s refreshing method of teaching, that she promptly develops a schoolgirl crush on him and begins following him like an lovestruck puppy!!

Dressed to impress, Kotone even makes the mistake of coming to a hiking field trip in a pretty ensemble more suited for shopping than climbing mountainsides!

 She is eventually given huge long leg pants and thoroughly enjoys herself by spying on Aizawa and falling for him even more!

When Aoyama is first introduced I thought she was going to be the cliched haughty, spoiled and complaining student who fights with Aikawa, but she immediately became such a great, fun character.

I have to say I didn’t at first even recognize Honoka as Aoyama, and I remember thinking, “this girl looks like a younger Ryoko Kobayashi”.

 But by the third episode, I thought, “Hey, is this Miki Honoka??? Aoyama seemed too young to be Honoka, but a quick peek at Asianwiki confirmed my ventured guess- it was INDEED the Itazura No Kiss star herself!!! 

 Looks like Honoka Miki, I mean Honoka Yahagi's doing very well!
