Oricon Style's print magazine "Only Star" surveyed 1,000 girls in their teens and twenties about their most anticipated summer dramas. The publication wanted to know which actor or actress these ladies were most looking forward to this season.

According to the results, most girls anticipated the 'rebirth' of the "Hanazakari no Kimi Tachi e", starring AKB48's most popular member Maeda Atsuko. Atsuko also ranked in the top spot for performance ranking, which showed her strong appeal to young women in Japan. None of the 'ikemen' in this drama made the cut for the top 10, which implies that its success might solely depend on Atsuko's performance.

The girls in question left comments such as: "I wonder how Acchan will play this role and look like with short hair!" and "I'm curious whether it will be able to surpass the original drama."

The second most anticipated drama is "Zenkai Girl", starring Aragaki Yui and Nishikido Ryo, who also earned the third and second place respectively in the performance ranking. One girl commented, "I'm pretty curious about this drama, because it's a very unexpected role for Aragaki", while other stated that it feels quite fresh to see a romantic comedy in the 'Getsu 9' time slot. Of course many of the girls are also looking forward to Nishikido first 'Getsu 9' drama.
