I really loved the live-action version of _Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi na Henge!_
(or, _Perfect Girl Evolution!_ / _The Wallflower_ ) and I'm considering
picking up the manga or anime because of how much I liked it. However, I'm
curious: **what are the major changes that the live-action made?**

I know one of these changes is aging up the characters; the cast is about
college-aged in the live-action, but they're in high school (they attend a
_gakuen_ ) in the manga. I also know that the landlady's son is a live-action
only character. Are there other big differences between the two?

What are the major differences between the anime/manga and the live action version of Perfect Girl Evolution?


According to the [Japanese
Wikipedia](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%A4%E3%83%9E%E3%83%88%E3%83%8A%E3%83%87%E3%82%B7%E3%82%B3%E4%B8%83%E5%A4%89%E5%8C%96_\(%E6%BC%AB%E7%94%BB\)),
the main differences are:

>   * Kyouhei becomes the main character. Sunako is listed as the 3rd cast in
> the credit.
>   * Kyouhei, Takenaga, Yukinojou, Ranmaru, and Noi are high school students
> in the original work, but they are undergraduate students in the TV drama.
>   * Mine (Sunako's aunt; the landlady) doesn't have children in the original
> work. However, in the TV drama, Takeru is introduced as an original
> character playing the role of her son. He self-proclaims to be the keeper of
> the mansion while she is away.
>   * Shinichi, the master of the coffee shop ( _Meykuu Iri_ , "Unsolved")
> that Kyouhei and his friends like to go, appears as a regular cast in the TV
> drama.
>   * Compared to the original work, Sunako's personality is sharply changed.
> Even with the usually timid and negative personality, when Kyouhei calls her
> _Busunako_ (Extremely ugly Sunako, from _busu_ \+ _Sunako_ ), she will
> display her paranormal-thingy and high fighting power and also her
> personality becomes stronger.
