Fuji TV’s ‘Getsu 9′ drama “Zenkai Girl“, starring Aragaki Yui and Nishikido Ryo, aired its first episode yesterday and reached an average rating of 14.6%.

The first episode was extended by 15 minutes and featured the lawyer ‘Ayukawa Wakaba‘ (Aragaki), who hates children, having to take care of the daughter of her boss. Reluctantly, she even ends up bringing the girl to a kindergarten where she happens to meet the ‘ikemen’ ‘Yamada Sota‘ (Nishikido), triggering a unique romantic comedy that has not been seen in a ‘Getsu 9′ drama yet.

Last season’s “Shiawase ni Narou yo” had a better start than “Zenkai Girl” and when looking at it as a ‘Getsu 9′ drama, you inevitably have to recognize its initial viewer rating as a pretty weak start for Fuji TV.

However, the reaction of viewers have mainly been positive so far. Many were satisfied with Aragaki’s first drama starring role and enjoyed the tempo of the first episode. They also liked the comedy and the lovable characters. One viewer even was surprised by that last scene – we don’t want to spoiler it here – and is already looking forward to the next episode.

Maybe “Zenkai Girl” will actually be able to improve its ratings over the coming episodes? What are your thoughts on the first episode?
