Haken Uranaishi Ataru 終

I'm not crying! You're crying! Ahhh well, just finished watching the charming and entirely sweet drama  "Haken Uranaishi Ataru", the story of a former child TV psychic named Ataru Matoba who escaped the world of Television media and goes to work at a Promotional Event Coordination Agency where she learns of the world around her at the same time she uses her abilities to help her co-workers solve their problems and see their true potential.

Hana Sugisaki was absolutely terrific as the subdued and sassy Ataru, who spent most of the series giving knowing gazes at her fellow employees as they struggle with their day to day problems hwere most of her thoughts had to be conveyed thru her expressions, and she did it so well!

But it wasn't just Hana Sugisaki, EVERYONE had their chance to shine, with individual episodes set up for the characters played by Shida Mirai, Mamiya Shotaro, Nonami Maho, Ozawa Yukiyoshi, Oikawa Mitsuhiro, Shison Jun...

 

...and special mention must be made of Yuka Itaya, whose frazzled character, section Chief Osaki always made me laugh with her spastic sing-song voice as she tried to smooth things between her uppers and her rambunctious personnel each episode! One of my favorite roles of hers!!!

Another drama I'm really, really, going to miss watching each week!!!
