Synopsis

Positive and daring in character and always living her life to the fullest, Urara is a 19 year old girl who lives in Japan’s smallest prefecture, Kagawa. On her birthday, she learns that her father who she thought had died 15 years ago is alive somewhere in Tokyo. Urara cannot withhold her yearning to go look for him and withdraws her entire life savings to hop on a bus to head to the big city. But on her first day in Tokyo, Urara realizes that her entire fortune is robbed by a pick-pocket! Broke, homeless, and without a vision, Urara wanders about and meets a woman who introduces her to Takuya, a middle-aged lawyer and bachelor. Something about the man is remarkably familiar to Urara and she gasps in shock, “DAD!?” After their coincidental reunion, Urara’s benevolent curiosity does not stop her from wanting to find out more about her estranged father who urges her to go back to her small home town. Soon, Urara sees that Takuya is being preyed upon by several young and attractive bachelorettes. Innately meddlesome in nature, Urara makes it her duty to see that her father is not played a fool. In her simplistic thinking, Urara decides to move in with Takuya...though totally uninvited! Tokyo Zenryoku Shojo is a drama of a young woman searching for her space in this world while depicting a split family that tries to regain its lost time together in modern day Tokyo. -- NTV
