Summary of the 113th episode of the Asadora"Anpan"

The NHK Asadora drama series "Anpan " starring Mio Imada (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8:00 AM and others) will broadcast its 23rd week, "We are powerless, but..." in the 113th episode on September 3rd.

" 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 episode 113, Taka (Takumi Kitamura) comes across a page about a manga contest in a weekly magazine and, encouraged by Nobu (Imada), decides to enter the contest.

Nobu says that there is more meaning in drawing the manga you want to draw than the results, but Takashi says he has his own pride and stays holed up in his workroom for days. In front of a worried Nobu, Takashi declares that if this doesn't work out, he'll quit being a manga artist... Scene cuts have also been released.
