Plot summary

Yamada Tarō Monogatari Yamada Taro Monogatari JDee

Tarō Yamada is smart, athletic, and very handsome. He seems perfect on the outside, but he's actually dirt poor due to his mother's reckless spending habits and his always-gone father. Although never once does he admit it, everyone at school thinks he is a very humble rich boy because of his good looks. However, at home, he must care for his six younger siblings, who share a one-bedroom place with him and his mother.

Taiwanese TV drama

The manga was adapted into a 45 episode Taiwanese drama titled Poor Prince (Chinese: 貧窮貴公子; pinyin: Ping Qiong Gui Gong Zi) starring Vic Zhou, Ken Chu, Annie Yi, Edward Ou and Will Liu. It was produced by Comic Ritz International Production (可米瑞智國際藝能有限公司) and Angie Chai (柴智屏) as producer. It was broadcast in Taiwan on free-to-air Chinese Television System (CTS) (華視) from 11 August to 8 November 2001.
