Do you remember what the first two episodes of JoJo were like? Before all the supernatural stuff took over? When it was a tale about an evil stepson trying to ruin a rich family and gain their wealth, and anything else they valued, for himself? I'd like something that's kinda like that, but in a form of an entire anime series.

What I'm looking for is a story-driven comedy series with similarities to those two particular episodes. It doesn't have to take place in the same kind of setting, but I want the same kind of over the top, soap opera-like drama, where every little moment is made to be so ridiculously "edge of your seat" tense, and the characters are so deadpan serious about everything, no matter how absurd it is, you just can't help but laugh. Bonus points for stylistic devices that heighten the drama, such as dramatic head turns, eyes obscured in shadows etc.

Does anything like that exist? I've heard Prison School is kinda like that, but its premise and ecchiness really put me off - I'd prefer something with a more "normal" setting and much less fanservice.
