"Anpan" Episode 80: Ranko asks Takashi a direct question

The 82nd episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Anpan " (General TV, Monday to Saturday at 8:00 AM and others), starring Mio Imada , was broadcast on July 22nd, and viewers were drawn to Ranko's ( Yuumi Kawai) words and actions.

In episode 82, when Takashi (Takumi Kitamura) fails to return a handbag to Nobu (Imada), Ranko asks, "I'll ask you this while I'm at it, but why did you ever confess your feelings to your sister?" Takashi replies, "My feelings don't matter," but Ranko presses, "But you still love me, don't you?" and "Oh, I'm so impatient. So you're running to return the handbag that was rejected eight years ago?"

When Hatako (Noriko Eguchi) asked if he was feeling bad about Nobu's late husband Jiro (Ayumu Nakajima), Taka said that there was another person he couldn't beat, and mentioned his younger brother Chihiro (Motoki Nakazawa), who died in the war. Taka confessed, "I couldn't beat Chihiro in anything, not in studies or sports, but what devastated me the most was my strong feelings for Nobu-chan. I left him behind, and I survived, and now I'm venting my feelings to Nobu-chan... I can't even fight anymore... I'll never be able to beat Chihiro."

On social media, comments such as "Ranko's merciless pursuit lol," "She speaks for the feelings of all the viewers," "Ranko listened well," and "It was adorable to see Takashi being pressured by the girls of the Asada family," as well as comments such as "Chihiro was the one who was most rooting for Takashi and Nobu-chan to get together," and "There's no need to be so shy."
