Is it live action or anime? I saw a book with the same title that is presented through short manga stories. I was thinking of getting it, but maybe watching this will save me some money

It is live action and the story comes from the manga by Hebizo and Umino Najiko.
On the site d- addicts you can download the episodes 1 to 4 before the drama is currently airing.
It's funny to see that the characters are students of Japanese living in Japan and trying to learn the correct language that sometimes the native speakers can't remember.
I hope you can enjoy yourself.

I personally suggest reading the manga - it's much better In the show they made the main character (the teacher) a gyaru type and gave her the biggest attitude I've only watched the first two episodes, though - maybe it gets better.

Thank you, Jessisan, for suggestion. I' ll try to find the book and read it.

I love the show and have been downloading from d-addicts.com even after I've watched it on TV. They have both English and Japanese subtitles on the website so you can understand everything, and also practice reading Japanese.

After the episode about バイト敬語, I've been hearing more Japanese people using this when I go to certain stores.
