◇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 25th week, the picture book "Anpanman" continues to fly low. However, Nobu (played by Imada) still believes in Anpanman and continues to read him to children with a simple heart.
Taka (Takumi Kitamura), editor-in-chief of "Poetry and Fairy Tales," published by Yagi's (Satoshi Tsumabuki) company, is selling well, making Taka busier than ever. Takuya (Motoki Omori) is touched by Nobu's thoughts on Taka's new work, "Anpanman," and decides to turn it into a musical.
