"Anpan" Episode 73: Viewers express concern over "anomaly" in Kamaji

The 73rd episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Anpan " starring Mio Imada (General TV, Monday to Saturday at 8:00 am and others) was broadcast on July Getsuku, and viewers expressed concern over the strange behavior of Kamaji (Kotaro Yoshida).

In the 73rd episode, the first issue of "Monthly Kujira" sells out 2,000 copies in two days, getting off to a good start. The Asada family also buys two copies, and when Ranko (Yuumi Kawai) comes home with another copy, the number of copies increases to three. While everyone is reading Taka's manga "Miss Kochi," Kamaji bursts out laughing and begins coughing violently. To the worried Kura (Miyoko Asada), Kamaji explains, "It's nothing. I just laughed too much."

Afterwards, Kamatsugu says to the hat that was a keepsake of his late son, Yutaro (Ryo Kase), "I didn't know you could make such a fun magazine... Yutaro, please praise Nobu." Kamatsugu coughs again, and Kura looks at Kamatsugu's back with concern.

Regarding Kamatsu's "strange behavior," comments were made on social media such as, "I have a bad feeling," "Is Kamatsu OK...?", "It's starting to look like he's about to leave...," "I'm worried about Kamajii's cough," "His strange cough is ominous...," "I hope he lives a long life!!," "Ahh...the old man's back is getting smaller," and "What will happen to the stonemason?"
