The 91st episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Omusubi " starring Kanna Hashimoto was broadcast on February 10th, in which Aiko (Kumiko Aso) received a direct message from a mysterious man, attracting the attention of viewers.
In episode 91, Shoya (Sano Hayato), inspired by Masato (Kitamura Yukiya), decides to become a barber. He quits his job at Seikawa Electric and attends a correspondence vocational school for three years while gaining work experience at Hair Salon Yoneda.
One day, during a break, Aiko picked up her smartphone to update her blog. Then, she received a direct message from someone calling himself "Shiraki Junichiro of the Reiso Publishing Editorial Department" asking, "Are you interested in publishing a book?" and "Can we meet once?" Aiko was so surprised that she cried out, and Masato and Shoya were worried about what was going on. Aiko said, "My shoulders... were stiff, so I just had to stretch them," and quickly returned home.
Afterwards, Aiko was alone, staring at her smartphone screen, and replied to Shiraki's message, "Yes, I would love to meet you." Without a moment's hesitation, Shiraki replied, "Then how about tomorrow?"
On social media, people were saying things like, "So the blog is finally being turned into a book!", "I'm sure turning the blog into a book is about her debut as an illustrator, but I hope it's not a scam," "Is Shiraki from the publishing company the real deal?", "There's something suspicious about it," and "What if it's a romance scam?"
