The 34th 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 15th, and viewers were drawn to the interaction between Takashi ( Takumi Kitamura) and Chihiro (Motoki Nakazawa).
In the 33rd episode (broadcast on May 14th), Taka tries to give Nobu (Imada) a handbag that she bought as a souvenir from Tokyo, but Nobu pushes it back, saying, "I can't accept such a luxurious item," and "Think about the soldiers on the battlefield." The two clash over their differences in values. Nobu tells Taka, "Stay in Tokyo, everyone!" and leaves without accepting the handbag.
In episode 34, when Chihiro was studying in her room, Taka came in with her handbag and stood there in silence. When Chihiro asked, "You couldn't give it to Nobu-san?" Taka handed her the handbag and said, "I'll give it to you." Chihiro was confused and said, "What are you saying? I don't even need this..." but Taka said, "If you find a girl you like, give it to her as a present..." and trudged out the room.
In the previous episode, it was revealed that Chihiro has feelings for Nobu. However, Chihiro hides her feelings for Nobu and supports Takashi.
On social media, people were saying things like, "Taka is so insensitive," "It's pretty harsh to tell Chihiro, 'If you find a girl you like, give her a present,'" "I wonder if there will ever be a day when Taka realizes Chihiro's feelings," and "I laughed at how dejected Taka was."
