"Anpan" Episode 91: Sera becomes independent → Nobu becomes secretary

The 91st episode of the NHK Asadora drama series "Anpan " (General TV, Monday to Saturday, 8:00 AM and other times), starring Mio Imada , was broadcast on August 4th, and it was revealed that Sera (Kihara Katsutoshi), the administrative assistant who had devotedly supported Tetsuko (Toda Keiko), had become independent, causing a wave of surprise from viewers.

In February 1948, Nobu (Imada) returns from Kochi after Kura's ( Miyoko Asada) funeral and thanks Tetsuko, saying, "Thank you for the beautiful flowers at my grandmother's funeral." Tetsuko expresses concern, saying, "You should have taken it easy. Your mother must be alone," but Nobu laughs and says, "My mother urged me to go home early."

Nobu looked around the office and asked, "I hear you've set up your own office and are now independent, Sera-san." Tetsuko replied, "Looking like you're on your own," and then handed Nobu her business card, saying, "Now, Yanai Nobu, starting this year, administrative assistants will be renamed secretaries. Therefore, I'm appointing you secretary."

On social media, comments such as "Sera-san has gone independent... I'm sad," "She's not leaving, is she?", "Can't we see the 30-second count anymore?", "I want her to appear again," and "I wonder if she'll run for election" were posted, as well as comments such as "Nobu-chan has been promoted to secretary!", "Good luck, Nobu-chan," and "It must be tough having to take Sera-san's place..."
