The 56th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Anpan " (General TV, Monday to Saturday at 8:00 AM and others), starring Mio Imada , was broadcast on June 16th, and a new fact was revealed about Takashi's ( Takumi Kitamura) childhood friend Iwao (Hamao Noritaka), which became a hot topic among viewers.
In the 56th episode, Takashi is expected to have a talent for painting and is ordered to work in the propaganda team. There was a commotion in the market where the propaganda team was showing a picture story, and the atmosphere was tense. A few days later, Kentaro (Fumiya Takahashi) also joined the propaganda team, and the two of them decided to make a picture story that would not attract the resentment of the local people.
Taka immediately thinks about the contents of the Kamishibai story, but worries, "No matter what story we show, we're not welcome here..." Meanwhile, as Taka is walking through the market in the garrison, a local boy named Rin (Shibuya Soraji) calls out to him, "Tassuiga!" Iwao and Kota (Sakurai Kento) come over, and Iwao explains about Rin, "For some reason, she's become attached to me and follows me around all the time."
Seeing Iwao doting on Rin like his own child, Taku murmured, "I thought something had changed, Iwao-kun." Iwao said he had gotten married and had a child before enlisting, and said, "He was born after I enlisted, so I haven't met him yet, but he's a boy." He then embraced Rin and smiled, saying that being with her "makes my heart warm." Seeing the two of them like that gave Taku the idea for a picture story.
On social media, there were comments such as, "Iwao has become a really good guy!" and "Ran-chan dumped him, but I'm glad that Iwao is happy that he got married and had a child," as well as worried comments such as, "It's surprising how many death flags Iwao is setting up...", "It's like there are so many exit flags", "I can't help but have a bad feeling about this!!" and "I hope he comes back alive and sees his son!"
