The 95th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Anpan " (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8:00 AM and other times), starring Mio Imada , was broadcast on August 8th, and viewers responded in various ways to the words that Takashi ( Takumi Kitamura) said to his mother, Tomiko (Nanako Matsushima).
In episode 95, Takashi (played by Takumi Kitamura) happens to see the genius manga artist Osamu Teshima (played by Gordon Maeda) having a meeting at a cafe. Unable to bear it any longer, Takashi decides to quit his job at Samsung Department Store and submits his resignation.
Meanwhile, Nobu (Imada) gives Tetsuko (Toda Keiko) an opinion and makes her angry. When he returns home feeling depressed, he finds Tomiko waiting for him in high spirits. Taku tells her he has something important to tell her, so Tomiko can't wait and comes to Nobu and Taku's house.
Tomiko, unable to hide her joy, asks Nobu, "Are you pregnant?" Nobu denies it, saying, "Sorry, no," and tells her that Taka is retiring. Tomiko asks, "Nobu, of course you're against it, right?", but Nobu replies that she wants Taka to concentrate on manga and that she will support him.
Just then, Taka comes home. Tomiko persuades him to reconsider, insisting, "Nobu, it's your turn to quit your job now. You should get married soon and give him peace of mind as a man." However, Taka brushes her off, saying, "It's none of your business, mother," and "Please don't interfere in our lives anymore."
When the video showed Taka confessing his true feelings to his mother, Tomiko, reactions on social media included, "Well said!", "It's not Tomiko's place to say anything," and "He's finally reaching his rebellious stage!" as well as comments like, "I feel sorry for Tomiko, she thought she was right this time, but Taka had to say something like that," "Taka called her out, and yet that's not right!" and "I feel sorry for Tomiko, who suddenly asked him not to get involved."
