◇The following contains spoilers
" Anpan" is based on the married couple Takashi Yanase(1919-2013) and Nobu (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 to become "Anpanman," the embodiment of "unreversible justice."
In the 13th week, five months after the end of the war, Nobu (Imada) goes to the naval hospital to visit Jiro (Ayumu Nakajima), who is hospitalized.
Nobu, who was trying to act cheerful, confides something to Jiro. As he listens to her, Jiro writes something in shorthand in his notebook. Nobu is puzzled by the shorthand characters, and Jiro says he will teach him next time, but... One day, about a week later, Taku (Takumi Kitamura), with scruffy beard and wearing a military uniform, gets off at Gomenyo Station.
