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 were drawn to the words and actions of Yagi ( Satoshi Tsumabuki).
In episode 85, Nobu (Imada) regrets saying something horrible to Takashi (Takumi Kitamura) on the phone and consults Yagi. "I usually have more control over my emotions. I'm an adult now, and I think I can control my emotions and behave well. What should I do? Why does this only happen to Takashi?" he confessed.
Yagi then laughed and muttered, "Some fools only realize how important someone was to them after they've lost them."
Meanwhile, Takashi is encouraged by Ranko (Yuumi Kawai) and Meiko (Nanoka Hara) to tell Nobu how he feels. That night, he returns to the editing room and silently finishes drawing the cover, then heads to Tokyo where Nobu lives.
As Nobu is surrounded by children under the overpass, Takashi comes in. Noticing Takashi, Yagi takes the children away and says, "I'll tell you something today," leaving Nobu and Takashi alone.
Afterwards, Taku hands Nobu the red handbag that he had never been given, and tells her how he feels, saying, "Wakamatsu Nobu... I've liked you since the days of Nobu Asada." Nobu also confesses, "I like you. I like you twice as much as you do!", and the two embrace each other tightly.
On social media, there were many voices of praise, such as "Yagi-san was so cool to take the kids and leave the scene, thank you Yagi-san", "Yagi-san is definitely Cupid for the two of them", "He can read the atmosphere so he's so cool", "He's so considerate and kind", "I'm voting Yagi-senpai as today's MVP", and "He's got a blunt way of speaking but he always ends up helping them out."
