Have you seen this? want to / seen some / seen all

Alternative title:
Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge (Japanese)
田中くんはいつもけだるげ (Japanese)
Themes: school, school life
Objectionable content: Mild
Plot Summary: Tanaka is a high school boy who sighs (with a hand on his chin), dozes and sleeps just about anytime and anywhere: in classroom, in PE classes, and even after school hours he is too lazy to move. In contrast, his friend Ohta and other classmates around him are quite energetic, despite of their numerous failed attempts to "wake" Tanaka up.
