Synopsis
R-17 is a serious, hard-hitting drama about life at an all-girls high school. Miki Nakatani plays a school counselor out to set the place right, but it will be a herculean task. The script incorporates a shopping list full of educational and social problems into the plot.
Nakatani faces drugs, sex, bullying, sexual harassment, teacher burnout and neuroses, pompous, out-of-touch administrators, and students too scared to speak up. A few students are just plain scary, such as the headmaster's daughter who urges others toward suicide because she likes to watch. Poor Nakatani herself isn't completely in control. She has a few hangups of her own, like having to run for a toilet at moments of crisis. But she will no doubt solve some of the school's problems by the end of the quarter.
The exceedingly gloomy script has a touch of honesty and stark realism to it that makes it a very disheartening (but well acted) hour.

TV Asahi Synopsis
An inspiring human drama that boldly captures "what" is important for a mere individual to survive in a confusingly diversified time of age.
In Japan, crime rates among seventeen years old high school students are increasing year by year, and "seventeen years old" are often referred to as the most difficult age group to deal with. In the drama, Megumi (Miki Nakatani) tries to approach the psycological and psychiatric problems that these seventeen years old have from a school counselar's point of view. Through dealing with these high school girls, Megumi learns what the meaning of "life" to herself and to the high school girls.
