" Anpan" is based on the married couple Takashi Yanase(1919-2013) and Nobu Komatsu(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 60th episode, Nobu (Imada)'s face lights up when she receives a letter from Jiro (Ayumu Nakajima), but it is from the naval hospital. When Nobu enters the hospital room with anxiety, she sees Jiro sitting on the bed with a smile. The war situation becomes even more severe, and air raid sirens sound in the town of Kochi.
Nobu ran out into the crowd of people, and when she heard a child crying in the distance, she ran in the opposite direction to where everyone else was fleeing... and so the story unfolded.
