==Live-action drama==
The live-action TV drama series ran on [[Nippon Television|NTV]] from 1982-03-21 through 1982-09-19, for a total of 19 one-hour episodes. The role of Kasumi Kishimoto was at first scheduled to be played by [[Minako Sawamura]], but due to trouble during the shooting of the first episode, the role was given to [[Sayaka Itō]] and principal photography with Itō began the following day. The theories as to why Sawamura left include a refusal to do a bath scene and possible schedule conflicts with another show on which she was appearing.

Competing against it in the same time slot were two popular shows: [[NHK]]'s [[Taiga drama]] ''Tōge no Gunzō'' and TV Asahi's drama ''Seibu Keisatsu Part II''. Due to this kind of competition, the ratings were not very high for ''Hiatari Ryōkō!''. As this was Adachi's first work adapted for TV, this was disappointing. In the 8pm Sunday time slot, [[Nippon Television|NTV]] traditionally ran a school drama of some sort, but after the disappointing ratings for ''Hiatari Ryōkō!'', they switched to variety programs in the vein of ''Kume Hiroshi no TV Scramble'' and ''Tensai Takeshi no Tenki ga Deru Terebi!!''.

==Anime==
''Hiatari Ryōkō'' completed its serialization in 1981 with five volumes. However, the television anime adaptation of Adachi's later manga, ''[[Touch (manga)|Touch]]'', became a hit which made it possible for the series to get adapted even after completion. Virtually all of ''Touch''<nowiki/>'s staff, such as series director Gisaburō Sugii and composer [[Hiroaki Serizawa]], moved to ''Hiatari Ryōkō'' as soon as ''Touch''<nowiki/>'s production concluded. Much of ''Touch''<nowiki/>'s voice cast was in this anime as well, excluding [[Noriko Hidaka]] (Minami Asakura in ''Touch''). It seamlessly replaced ''[[Touch (manga)|Touch]]'', which ran for two years in the same timeslot. The anime television series consisted of 48 half-hour episodes made for [[Fuji Television|Fuji TV]], airing from March 22, 1987 to March 20, 1988. It was followed by theatrical anime movie, which served as an alternative version, titled {{nihongo|''What a Sunny Day! Ka - su - mi: You Were in My Dreams''|陽あたり良好! KA・SU・MI 夢の中に君がいた|''Hiatari Ryōkō! Ka - su - mi: Yume no Naka ni Kimi ga Ita''}}. The movie ran as a double feature with the first ''[[Kimagure Orange Road]]'' film and included all three of ''Kimagure''<nowiki/>'s opening theme songs as background music.

===Theme songs===
There were three opening and three ending theme songs throughout the course of the anime television series.

====Opening====
;{{nihongo|"Sunshine All Around!"|陽あたり良好!|Hiatari Ryōkō!}}
