◇The following contains spoilers

" Anpan" is based on the married couple Takashi Yanase(1919-2013), the manga artist and picture book author who created "Anpanman," and his wife, Nobu (1918-1993). It is a "story of love and courage" that will fill you with the joy of living, depicting how these two, who were once nobodys, overcame all sorts of rough seas to become "Anpanman," the embodiment of "unreversible justice."

In the 24th week, Taka (Takumi Kitamura) begins drawing "Uncle Anpanman" again. With the deadline for character design for Teshima Osamu's (Gordon Maeda) film fast approaching, Taka takes a break from work and brings Teshima to Nobu (Imada), who says he has a favor to ask. Teshima says he wants Taka's help. That night, Nobu speaks to the drawing of Uncle Anpanman by himself: "One day...fly."

Six months later, the film "The Thousand and One Nights" becomes a huge hit. Teshima makes a proposal to Taka as a token of appreciation for the success. And so "Anpanman" finally sees the light of day... and so the story unfolds.
