"Anpan" 66th Nobu's first article published in the morning paper

The 66th episode of the NHK Asadora drama series "Anpan " (General TV, Monday to Saturday at 8:00 a.m. and other channels), starring Mio Imada , was broadcast on June 30th. Nobu (Imada), who has become a newspaper reporter, has her first article published in the morning edition, which drew congratulations from viewers.

In the 66th episode, Nobu joins the Kochi Shimpo as the first female reporter since the war. She immediately goes to the scene and desperately takes shorthand notes behind the reporters in the social affairs department, but is overwhelmed from the very first day.

The next day, Nobu goes to the black market alone under the instructions of Tokairin ( Kenjiro Tsuda). He interviews an orphan named Yukio (Masama Akutsu) who stole vegetables from a greengrocer, and when he returns to the company, he writes an article, but Tokairin rejects him, saying, "There are so many orphans all over Japan. How can we write an article that will interest our readers?"

Later, when Nobu visits the black market greengrocer again, Yukio is arranging vegetables in front of the store. The owner is impressed by Yukio's courage in returning the stolen vegetables and asks him to help him. Nobu listens to Yukio's story and puts it together into a manuscript, but Tokairin rejects it, saying, "It's too long. Are you planning to fill the front page of the morning paper with your article?" Nobu stays in the empty company and continues to write the manuscript all night.

The next morning, when Tokairin came to work, he looked over Nobu's manuscript and said, "It's no good. A tearjerker article is worthless." However, he quickly replied, "But it's a heartfelt article. I'll put this in tomorrow's morning paper. I'll wait until the evening, so when you go home and sleep, make it a bit shorter and bring it to me. 40 lines. That's it," and Nobu savored the joy.

On social media, comments such as "Congratulations!!" "Good for you, Nobu-chan!" "It really is great to be a working heroine," "All the hard work was worth it," "She really is a hard worker," and "She has a talent for being a reporter" were posted.
