The 85th 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 25th, and viewers reacted to the plot development in which Nobu (Imada) and Takashi ( Takumi Kitamura) end up together.
In the 85th episode, Nobu regrets saying something terrible to Takashi on the phone and consults with Yagi (Satoshi Tsumabuki). Meanwhile, Takashi is encouraged by Nobu's family and decides to tell them his feelings. That night, Takashi returns to the editorial office and silently finishes drawing the cover art before heading to Tokyo where Nobu works.
When Takashi suddenly arrives, Nobu explodes with emotion, saying, "I asked you what you came here for." When Takashi says, "Let's not fight today," Nobu calms down and apologizes, saying, "I'm sorry." Takashi hands Nobu the red handbag that she had previously refused to accept, saying, "I wanted to give this to you... Nobu-chan," and "I really wanted you to accept it today."
Nobu said "Thank you" and took the handbag, and asked "So, why did you come all the way here...?" Taku began with a serious expression, "There's one more important thing to talk about..." and confessed to Nobu for the first time, "Wakamatsu Nobu... I've liked you since you were Nobu Asada." He told her how he felt honestly, "I've had a lot of things happen, like being heartbroken and getting scolded... but..." and "No matter how much you scold me, I still like you just the way you are... I love you so much. From now on too... I will always love you."
Takashi said with relief, "I finally said it. I finally got to give her my handbag... I'm glad I came. Thank you." When Nobu thanked him, "Thank you," Takashi said, "Well then," and tried to leave.
Nobu called out to Takashi, "Taka! Wait! You're too much!" and said, "Now that I'm alone, I finally realized that I can't live without you," and ran out and hugged Takashi with all her might. With tears in her eyes, Nobu told him, "I love you. I love you twice as much as you do!" The subtitle of the 17th week, "I love you twice as much as you do," was Nobu's feelings for Takashi.
The two finally got together in the 17th week, and on social media people were saying things like, "They're finally in love! They're excited about their future," "I can't stop feeling excited," "I'm so glad that he finally confessed his feelings and that twice as much love has returned," "It took a long time to get to this point, but good things are great for Nobu-chan and Takashi," "Chihiro in heaven is congratulating him," and "The subtitle is resolved!!"
