Ano Ko No Yume wo Mitan Desu~"It's Full Of Stars!"

 There was this wonderful drama years back called Onnatachi wa Nido Asobu (which I talked about here), about an author with writer’s block who becomes inspired to write stories about the various women he sees in the restaurant he’s at each day...

Drama Ano Ko No Yume wo Mitan Desu does a similar take on this premise, with a bespectacled lad named Ryota Yamasato (Taiga Nakano) who makes up stories about various actresses whenever he needs to relieve stress!

Like Onnatachi Nido Asobu before it, the cast features a BEVY of beautiful actresses in the leads of the short stories, this time a whole bunch of young stars, and almost ALL of them are BIG new faves of mine which I’ve gushed about here!!

So far we've seen:

Ayami Nakajo as a popular girl who hires someone to reject her so she can learn the meaning of heartbreak...

Kyoko Yoshine as a girl in a fantasy story who finds herself as the savior of Japan...

Marie Iitoyo as a girl who gets the gift of a button that can reset the day...

Nana Mori as a girl who wants to be a tragic heroine in her own story...

Sakurako Ohara, a spritely bubble-gum chewing fairy who comes to Ryota  whenever he cannot speak his mind...

Karen Otomo as a girl who befriends the outcasts of her class...

 and most recently, Sei Shiraishi as a career woman who wants to learn the zen of jealousy...

Out of all of them though, it’s the one featuring Maika Yamamoto that’s my fave, in a cute story about a girl who agrees to go out with Ryota if he can snatch the red ribbon out of her hair. Seems simple enough…but she turns out to be a black-belt karate expert!!!

Oh my Gosh, I REALLY loved this one!

At this point we're up tp the 8th episode mark and we've still got Riho Sayashi, Ai Hashimoto and Elaiza Ikeda to come! Such a fine little show!!!
