The 100th 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 15th, and Ranko ( Yuumi Kawai) and Yagi (Satoshi Tsumabuki) met for the first time, which became a hot topic among viewers.
The 100th performance ends with a successful conclusion. A few days later, Takashi (Takumi Kitamura) seems to be in a daze for some reason. Takuya (Omori Motoki Omori) comes to see him and invites him, saying, "Would you like to try writing lyrics for me?" and "Let's work together again on something fun." However, Takashi refuses to listen, saying, "I'm a manga artist. I'm not very popular, though. Manga artists... should draw manga." Even when Nobu (Imada) tells him to give it a try, he retorts, telling him not to interfere. Since then, the relationship between the two has been strained.
Meanwhile, Nobu decides to help out at Yagi's general store in addition to her daytime job, without telling Taka. Ranko shows up and Nobu introduces her to Yagi. When Nobu says, "Taka, you turned down a songwriting job," and "It seems like you want to focus on manga," Yagi mutters, "Everything she writes sounds like poetry to me." Ranko then says to Yagi, "If you feel that way, then you must be a poet too." Yagi laughs and replies, "I'm just the owner of a general store."
When Nobu explained, "My sister works for a company and writes articles about movies for a magazine," Yagi asked Ranko, "Have you ever thought about going independent?" Ranko replied, "There are times when I think, 'I want to quit my job,' but..." "We don't have any academic qualifications, do we? Even if you can type fast, there are still people who look down on you."
When Nobu tells Yagi that Ranko used to work at the post office and help out her family, Ranko stops him, saying, "Don't talk about such old times." When Yagi says, "It's the glorious effect that adversity has on people," Ranko responds, "Oh... Shakespeare?" Yagi asks, "Isn't that why you are who you are today?" and Ranko stares at Yagi with a meaningful expression.
Comments on social media included, "Ranko's expression, her gaze... could it be," "The expression on her face as she looks at Yagi tells you her feelings," "Are there any chances that a romance has been raised between Yagi and Ranko?", "Yagi and Ranko seem to be getting on well... they are a good match," "Do you think Yagi and Ranko have a good vibe? Can we get excited?", "Ranko and Yagi seemed to resonate with each other in an instant without any logic behind it," and "Yagi and Ranko have a similar vibe. I think they would be attracted to each other."
