The 113th 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 September 3rd. The episode depicted Takashi ( Takumi Kitamura) responding in an unexpected way to a phone call from the genius manga artist Teshima Osamu (Gordon Maeda), which became a hot topic among viewers.

In episode 113, Taka sees a page about a manga contest in a weekly magazine and, encouraged by Nobu (Imada), decides to enter the contest. Nobu says that it's more meaningful to draw the manga you want to draw than to focus on the results, but Taka confines himself to his workroom for days, saying, "Even someone like me has some pride." In front of a worried Nobu, Taka declares, "If this doesn't work out, I'll quit being a manga artist."

With the deadline fast approaching, Takashi is struggling to come up with a good idea, but when he sees Nobu vacuuming while wearing the hat that was left to him by his late father, Yutaro (Ryo Kase), he is suddenly inspired with an idea for a manga.

Returning to his workroom, Takashi mutters, "Here it comes, here it comes..." and begins to write on his manuscript paper, when the phone rings. When Takashi picks up the receiver, he hears a voice say, "Is this Mr. Yanai Takashi? This is Teshima Osamu." Takashi is surprised and says, "Huh?", and Teshima begins, "I'm sorry to call you out of the blue. I'd like to ask you for some work."

However, Taka couldn't believe he was receiving a call from the "God of Manga," so he said, "You, stop doing this kind of thing," and hung up. Teshima muttered, "He hung up on me..." and scratched his head.

On social media, people were saying things like, "Taka, that's the real deal!", "What a great opportunity...", "He thought it was a prank call? Well, I guess he didn't think he'd get a direct call", "It wasn't a prank call (wry smile)", "Of course it would be suspicious if he called directly", and "It's only natural that people wouldn't believe a direct call out of the blue."
