Yamada Taro Monogatari


  • Drama: The Story of Yamada Taro

  • Romaji: Yamada Taro Monogatari

  • Japanese: 山田太郎ものがたり

Taro Yamada, a freshman on a scholarship at Ichinomiya Private Senior High School, is high-achieving, strikingly handsome, and truly athletic and seems perfect. But he is actually extremely poor. The story humorously portrays Taro, who tackles problems that occur because of his poverty, and his six younger brothers and sisters. The original comic book sold a cumulative total of over 7 million copies. The book was translated into many languages and sold worldwide, and it was made into a drama entitled “Píng Qióng Guì Gōng Zǐ” in Taiwan in 2001. (http://asianwiki.com/The_Story_of_Yamada_Taro)
