"Anpan" Episode 74 Kotoko scolds Takashi

The 74th 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 10th, and viewers were drawn to the scene where Kotoko ( Yui Narumi) scolds Takashi (Takumi Kitamura).

In the 74th episode, the day before a business trip to Tokyo, Nobu (Imada), who was checking the documents of the congressman he was going to interview, became interested in a female congressman called the "Queen of the Underpass" who Iwashimizu (Yuki Kura) said he wanted to interview first.

That night, Kentaro (Fumiya Takahashi), who was drinking with Takashi at a food stall, told him that he was going to close down the store that sold miscellaneous goods salvaged from the occupying forces. Kentaro told Takashi, "It's good to be alive. You can work with Nobu-san, and maybe you can go to Tokyo." Takashi savored his happiness, saying, "I'm glad to be alive."

Taka said about Nobu, "The closer you get to him, the more distant he seems to be," and praised Nobu for not complaining and getting back on her feet as a reporter, even though it had only been a short time since her husband Jiro (Ayumu Nakajima) died. He continued, "Someone like me shouldn't fall in love with someone like that." Kentaro sighed and asked, "Maybe you just don't want to get hurt?"

Then, from behind them, they hear the sound of a glass being slammed on the table. It is a drunk Kotoko who then scolds Takashi, saying, "You know so much about Nobu-chan, but you don't understand a woman's heart at all!"

Kotoko sat next to Takashi and confessed, "Sorry, I've been hearing your conversation for a while now. I was wondering whether to say this or not, but... I'm glad that you were able to join Kochi Shimpo thanks to her." Kotoko explained that Nobu had found a 10-year-old newspaper with Takashi's four-panel comic in it in the reference room, shown it to her boss, and insisted, which gave her the opportunity to draw illustrations.

Kotoko's words and actions were met with praise on social media, with comments such as, "Well said!!" "Kotoko is a great woman!", "I love Kotoko's character", "Kotoko is seriously the best lol", "Nice assist", and "Good job Kotoko! I want to be your friend."
