It got off to a weak start but how you finish is what’s important, right? NHK’s 76th Asadora (if you’re keeping track, “Churasan” was the 64th), “Dondo Bare” starring Manami Higa, finished its run on September 29 with a strong finish at 23.2% for the final episode — contrast that with the 14.9% for the first episode. Manami’s official website doesn’t have any news on upcoming dramas for her but we can only guess that we’ll see her very soon thanks to the series ending on a high note.
