The NHK Asadora drama series "Anpan " starring Mio Imada (General TV, Monday to Saturday, 8:00 AM and others) will be broadcasting its 22nd week, "The Shape of Love." In the 107th episode on August 26th...
" Anpan" is based on the married couple Takashi Yanase(1919-2013) and Nobu (1918-1993), the manga artist and picture book writer who created "Anpanman." It is a "story of love and courage" that will make you feel the joy of living welling up from your whole body, depicting how these two, who were once nobodys, overcame all sorts of rough seas to become "Anpanman," the embodiment of "unreversible justice."
In the 107th episode, thanks to Yagi's (Satoshi Tsumabuki) inspiration, ceramic goods featuring Taka's (Takumi Kitamura) poems and illustrations sold so well that additional orders were received.
Even so, Yagi urges him to write more poetry, but Nobu (Mio Imada) counters that Taka is a manga artist and can't write that many poems. Taka tells Nobu that it's okay because the words just keep coming to him, and continues writing poetry. Then, confident in Taka's talent for poetry, Yagi sets up a publishing department at his company and asks Taka to publish a collection of poems... Scene cuts have also been released.
