uhm...mostly I'm putting of Face to Fate because there are only 3 eps left and A) I don't want it to end, and B) I detect much angst between here and the happily ever after.
Plus, fantasy casting is fun. (And we can play "who starred with Nakama Yukie where?" uhm...2 don't count as most have seen one show and seen me endlessly babble about the other, in the context of the two of them)

Sunako:
If you've seen Nobuta wo Produce, you know that Horikita Maki basically WAS playing Sunako there, so she's the obvious choice:

Backup: Inoue Mao:

Kyohei:
Yamapi:

Takenaga:
Oguri Shun:

I would actually be interested in seeing either of those two in either role, but I knoe the second "Yamapi" and "Maki" are said in anything resembling the same breath, half my flist starts automatically shipping.
Ranmaru:
Hayami Mokomichi(he may not look it in stills, but watch Brother Beat and you can tell he'd be perfect)

Incidentally, all 3 of these guys are about a foot taller than Maki and Mao...
Yuki(the hardest of them all because I wanted someone pretty enough who'd take a more supporting role, even if he is one of the main characters):
Tegoshi Yuya:

Backup:
Koike Teppei:

Noi:
I actually can't decide between these two:
Aragaki Yui:

Toda Erica:

Sunako's Aunt:
Nakama Yukie:

And, since it's fantasy casting, I'd have the aunt's stream of boyfriends be actors Nakama Yukie has been paired with before, playing some degree of parody of the same role:
Fujiki Naohito: cool and charismatic with more than a touch of enigma to him:

Matusmoto Jun: the wild, perpetually bored yet very intelligent younger man who thinks she's the only interesting thing around:

Odagiri Joe: the angsty brooder(hopefully with a nicer but equally selfless fate):

Matsuoka Masahiro: quiet and deadly:

Abe Hiroshi:charming oddball with a bit of an ego problem:

(wonders if anyone else will know everything that they all starred with her in)
