The 10th episode of the NHK Asadora drama series "Bakebake " (Monday to Saturday, 8:00 AM and other times), starring Akari Takaishi , aired on October 10th. In the episode, Toki (Takaishi) and her arranged marriage partner Ginjiro ( Kanichiro) hit it off over their love of ghost stories. The subsequent developments left viewers in awe.
In episode 10, the parents of both families are on good terms, and Toki and Ginjiro's matchmaking seems set to go well. If things continue as they are, it seems likely that they will get married, but with marriage suddenly becoming a reality, Toki hesitates to go ahead with the matchmaking with Ginjiro.
Ginjiro calls out to Toki, wanting to talk alone, and invites her on a walk to Seikoin Temple, the setting of a ghost story. "This might seem strange, but I love ghost stories," Ginjiro reveals, "This is the setting of the ghost story Matsukaze, so I've always wanted to come here." Toki, who loves ghost stories, is surprised and tells him, "There are traces of Matsukaze's blood here," to which Ginjiro responds happily, "This is Matsukaze's...!" Discovering they share a common hobby, the two hit it off. Toki decides to marry Ginjiro.
On social media, people expressed surprise, saying things like, "Oh, Toki's gotten married," "She's got a groom who's a samurai, looks like an azuki bean wash, and loves ghost stories!?", "It's an incredible miracle that two people with such rare interests could meet at an arranged marriage in this day and age," "I never thought the heroine would have a happy marriage with someone other than the hero," and "How is she going to meet and marry Heaven from here?"
Also, in the previous film, "Anpan," the heroine Nobu (Mio Imada) was married to Jiro (Takumi Kitamura) before Takashi (Ayumu Nakajima), so comments such as "After ' Anpan,' this is the second film in a row where the couple remarries," "Ginjiro is so perfect I don't feel like they'll ever reach Lefkada Heaven. Just like Jiro from Anpan," and "Ginjiro's a good guy! He loves ghost stories too, so it's fate! ...and then you think, they end up getting married. I somehow had the same feeling with ' Anpan,' lol" were posted.
