Manga based Dramas & Movies
When I started watching Japanese dramas in 2008, a lot of manga based dramas were recommended to me and that's how I ended up watching a lot of them xD I really like the cartoonish feel these manga adaptations have with some over-the-top acting and silliness ;)
This list is randomly sorted but my favorites are at top and the various adaptations from different countries are clubbed together along with subsequent drama specials and movies.
