お天気お姉さん [Otenki Onēsan]

In the early 1990s, mangaka 安達哲 (Satoshi Adachi) brought this eight-issue series to life for 講談社 (Kōdansha), a compact, character-driven drama centered on a young woman navigating the pressures of her job as a TV weathercaster. Blending slice-of-life realism with subtle humor, お天気お姉さん stands out for its intimate focus on a single profession and the personal struggles behind the on-screen smile. Adachi's clean, expressive artwork anchors the story, making it a quietly memorable entry in early-90s seinen manga.
