The 32nd 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 13th, and viewers were drawn to the expression on Chihiro's ( Motoki Nakazawa) face as he gazed upon Nobu (Imada).
In episode 32, Kentaro (Takumi Kitamura) and Meiko (Hara Fumiya Takahashi) take Nobu and Takashi (Nanoka Hara) to the beach with Chihiro to try to reconcile them. The five of them eat the Anpan that Meiko brought and chat on the beach. Takashi apologizes to Nobu, saying, "I'm sorry about the other day," and Nobu bows his head and says, "I'm sorry, too. I'm sorry."
Afterwards, Kentaro played the guitar and Meiko performed "Yashi no Mi". Kentaro called out to Takashi, "I'll sing too! Let's sing together, Yanai-kun," and Nobu watched the three of them singing while clapping. Chihiro glanced at Nobu and had a meaningful look on her face for a moment.
On social media, people were saying things like, "It's so sad," "Does she still love Nobu?", "She's always liked Nobu-chan...", "The way Chihiro looks at Nobu is so like that of a man with unrequited love that it makes my heart ache," "Chihiro's gaze only lets us see a little bit of her unrequited feelings," and "What a look on her face, I want Chihiro to be happy..."
