About The Fantastic Deer-Man
Forced out of his research group after conflicts with his colleagues, Ogawa Takanobu takes up an offer to teach at a girls' high school in Nara. When taking roll call on the first day one of his students, Hotta Ito, sneaks into class late, claiming a bogus excuse--that she got a ticket after trying to park her deer in front of the train station.
Directed by Manabu Makime, Hiroshi Tamaki, The Fantastic Deer-Man leans on a strong ensemble — Hiroshi Tamaki, Haruka Ayase, Mikako Tabe — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2008.
