Set in a town called Sasara, strange events occur one after the other. The episodes in this drama are interweaved tales from popular skilled author Kano Tomoko's books, "Sasara Saya" and "Teru Teru Ashita." In this new re-telling, we get a one-of-a-kind view of this fantasy world. The main character, Teruyo, writes of various parent-child relationships and also of couples' love. With a mix of mystery and horror genres, "Teru Teru Ashita" provides a little thrill as well as being a fantasy drama which allows you to understand love and kindness. So on Friday nights, won't you come and experience the warmth of a little town called Sasara?

I don't really want to review this show. I just noticed that in the cast section it lists "Kaneko Ken" as Matsumoto Youta. But I don't think he's the correct actor from the show. I think the real actor who portrays Youta is "Kaneko Noboru".

finished Teru Teru Ashita
1. the plot is really something else!
2. the characters and their developement are really something else!
3. the settng was also really something else!
if you're bored with comedy/love/medical/sport/dark doramas and want something with an orginal story making you feel like you're in a unique, this one's for you.
8.5/10
and no, it's not Ame to Yume no Ato ni 2 and for those who like the casts from Ame to Yume, there's gonna be some surprises. and i love Teruyo-chan's mom's answering machine... "Haaaiii... Keiko-desu..."
the only thing annoying about it is that the pace is awfully slow! (especially when it comes to that Yu-boy and Saya-san )
the best thing about it is, it's so memorable. after you finish watching it, it feels like you actually lived in Sasara-no-Kan, at least for 495 minutes
Very Underrated Mystery Fantasy
7 / 10

This is a very coming-of-age type story that blends family drama with fantasy producing a combined concept that is quite unique in its own way. Although it is not for everyone and is not even that entertaining, I must admit that is it very well done within its own genre. I found myself wanting to watch more and more, and the story gradually unfolded as it progressed much to my delight. Thus, persistence is the key to enjoying this drama, and to admire the acting talents of the new-comer kurokawa - she seems to handle her main role with precision and emotional balance when sometimes she could easily go over-to-top like other teenage actors (eg. Dandori Drill). Anyway, I quite enjoyed it, and the town in which the drama was based within really appealled to me. A good story for casual viewing, on say, a saturday or sunday afternoon?

This sure is the most unusual series by far this season and to me the most interesting one of all, really loved it. Kurokawa Tomoka realy gives is the best in ep 10, that scene where she ran back to her room and Kimura Tae followed after her, man, they have the comera at her without cutting, how amazing is that and thats a 2 minutes long scene, she looks so natural. Didn't think a 17yrs old will be able to do such an emotional scene. Love it.
