The 101st episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Anpan " (General TV, Monday to Saturday at 8:00 AM and other times), starring Mio Imada , was broadcast on August 18th, and viewers were drawn to the interaction between Ranko ( Yuumi Kawai) and Yagi (Satoshi Tsumabuki).
In episode 101, Yagi establishes a new company, Kyushu Cotton Center, and Nobu (Imada) and Takashi (Takumi Kitamura) go to celebrate. Akira (Saito Tomoaki), a war orphan, and Kasuya (Tanaka Shunsuke), the leader of the Kokura Regiment's propaganda squad, also join the company. The company's colorful beach sandals are a big hit, and Yagi explains, "Children loved them, so we decided to commercialize them."
Just then, Ranko, who has quit her job and become a freelance writer, arrives. Ranko is writing a promotional copy for a pair of flip-flops and submits the rewritten manuscript to Yagi. After looking it over, Yagi criticizes it, saying, "It's just ordinary. The writing is neat, but that's all. Write something that only you can write, not something that anyone can write." It was Ranko's third rewrite, but she bowed her head and said, "I understand. I'll rewrite it once more." Nobu, watching her, encouraged her, saying, "Do your best." Ranko replied, "This is nothing like that," and left the company.
On social media, people were saying things like, "Ranko and Yagi are getting closer," "What will happen between Yagi and Ranko?! Isn't it too sexy?! I'm excited!!," "I can't wait to see how things develop from here," "Ranko gets sexier with every passing year..." and "Ranko seems like a capable woman, that's great."
