Watched first episode of Shinigami-kun today and was pleasantly surprised to see Watanabe Shu in it. He was only the guy the main character for the episode had a crush on but it was still great seeing him outside of Kamen Rider.

Based on a manga of the same name that shares it's name, Shinigami-kun follows Shinigami #413(aka Shinigami-kun) as he preforms his duties of informing humans of their time of death with a cheerful 'Congratulations' and watch over them until it is there time.

The first episode has already made me cry, I mean any plot about a high school girl dying is obviously sad but Fukuko's devotion to her friend in the hospital despite having only three days to live was really touching. Ohno's Shinigami-kun manages to add much needed humor with his inexperience as a rookie. Like appearing on her bookshelf in her room trying to eat the raw crab(shell and all) he had sent to her asking why she liked such tough food.

Or when he drops his Shinigami notebook in the human world in the end obviously leading up to a Death Note Parody next episode. Which I can't wait to watch.
