The 29th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Anpan " (General TV, Monday to Saturday at 8:00 AM and others), starring Mio Imada , was broadcast on May 8th, and the acting of Kawai Yumi, who plays Ranko in the "proposal scene," became a hot topic.
"Anpan" is based on the married couple Takashi Yanase(1919-2013) and Nobuyuki (1918-1993), the manga artist and picture book writer who created "Anpanman." It is a "story of love and courage" that will make you feel the joy of living, depicting how these two, who were once nobody, overcame all sorts of rough seas and arrived at "Anpanman," the embodiment of "unreversible justice."
It's the day of Gou's (Kanata Hosoda). Encouraged by Nobu (Imada), Ranko gathers up her courage and goes to see Gou. However, they are unable to express their feelings to each other, and an awkward atmosphere prevails. Afterwards, a grand send-off party is held, and Gou expresses his gratitude to the Asada family during his speech.
While Nobu and her three sisters are having fun singing Yosakoi dance, Gou can't help but leave his seat and tries to leave the Asada house.
Ranko chases after Go and tells him her true feelings, "Gou-chan...you're so slow, I'm worried you might get hit by the bullets. Bring it on. Not surely, but absolutely."
Go then proposed to her, saying, "I have a favor to ask of you as well. If you come back safely, please marry me." Ranko was surprised and confused by his sudden words, saying, "Eh...? Hmm..." but was encouraged by Nobu, who was watching nearby, who said, "Gou-chan, I'm going," and although she was embarrassed, she replied, "I love you very much. I'd like to be your wife. Please come back," to which Gou promised, saying, "Thank you. I'll come back. Definitely."
The two finally confirm their feelings for each other. The scene became a hot topic on social media with comments such as, "This is the Yuumi Kawai Yumi's acting!", "Yuumi Kawai Yumi and Kanata Hosoda since yesterday," and "The expressions of Yuumi Kawai, who plays Ranko, were the best."
