The 96th episode of the NHK Asadora drama series "Anpan " (General TV, Monday to Saturday at 8:00 AM and other times), starring Mio Imada , was broadcast on August 11th, and Nobu (Imada) called Taka ( Takumi Kitamura) "Taka-san" for the first time, which became a hot topic among viewers.
At the beginning of episode 96, Nobu is giving Taka a haircut in the garden. Looking at the small blackboard in the room, Nobu says to Taka, "That blackboard must be full of schedules." Taka, who has left Samsung Department Store and joined a group called the "Original Manga Group," worries, "What if I don't get any work?", but Nobu encourages him, saying, "It'll all work out. If there's no work, I'll feed you."
When Taka asked, "Hmm... what did you just say...? Taka-san?", Nobu explained, "To celebrate your independence, I've decided to start calling you 'san' from today." Taka was confused and asked, "Huh? Why?", to which Nobu replied, "You're going to become a famous manga artist teacher, so it's rude to call you by your first name." Taka seemed happy and said, "Well, it was so sudden that I was surprised... Ah, it's Taka-san..."
At the beginning of the first episode (broadcast on March 31st), there is a scene where the now middle-aged Nobu greets Taka, saying, "Taka-san, good morning. It's morning." On social media, people have been saying things like, "So this is where calling him 'Taka-san' from the first episode leads to," "They made a comeback from calling him 'san' from the first episode," and "I was wondering when they would start adding 'san', and it was today!" There have also been comments like, "What a cute couple," "Nobu-chan's respect for Taka-kun is clearly evident, which is great," "I'm starting to like it even now," and "I liked how Nobu called Taka-kun, so I'm a little sad."
