A handful of dramas have already aired their final episodes this week.

'Itsuka Hi no Ataru Basho de' (NHK) ended without any surprises regarding its viewer ratings, but after all, it had to go against the baseball live broadcast on Tuesday. 'Shotenin Michiru no Minoue Banashi' (NHK) was at least able to achieve a new personal record with its last episode. 'Share House no Koibito' (NTV) also came to an end already with its 9th episode.

The two Thursday dramas 'Kasouken no Onna Season 12' (TV Asahi) and 'Otome-san' (TV Asahi) recorded really good final ratings with 14.2% [+1.5%] and 13.6% [+2.2%], respectively. Those results also positively influenced their season-average.

Of course, the highest drama rating was recorded by 'Aibou season11' (TV Asahi) on Wednesday again. 'Apoyan' (TBS) surprised with its long-deserved first rating within the double-digit region. Other dramas that also did really well compared to the previous week are 'Otasukeya Jinpachi' (NTV) and 'Hancho 6' (TBS).

The biggest losses were recorded on Tuesday and were caused by the aforementioned live broadcast of baseball on TBS. Among the dramas, 'Last Hope' (Fuji TV) was hit the hardest with a huge drop of 3.1% down to 8.1%.

(NTV is the only network that still discloses all of their ratings on a daily base. If anything, the other networks only reveal the ratings for their dramas regularly.)

NHK, TBS and TV Tokyo usually don't disclose the ratings for their shows on a regular basis, therefore they won't be included in the list below. Certain dramas or drama specials that aired on those channels and might lack ratings are still included with a ??.?% rating. This doesn't mean that the ratings were too low to recorded.

An orange color means almost no change, while a red color means the ratings dropped, and a green color means the ratings improved.
