The third episode of the TBS Tuesday drama "Jaa, Anta ga Tsukutte Miro yo It" (Tuesdays at 10 PM), starring Kaho and Takeuchi Ryoma, aired on October 21st. The exchange between Takeuchi's character, Ebihara Katsuo, and Ayami Nakajo, became a hot topic.
◇The following contains spoilers
The story is based on the manga of the same name by Natsuko Taniguchi, which is currently being serialized in the digital comic magazine Comic Tanto (Bunkasha). Yamagishi Ayumi (Kaho), who always puts her lover first, and Ebihara Katsuo, who has a patriarchal mentality, have been dating since their university days. After living together, Katsuo proposes marriage, but Ayumi's response is an unexpected "no." Through cooking, Katsuo reexamines the things he took for granted and grows as a person.
Katsuo and Tsubaki met on a dating app. During their "home date," the topic of cooking led to an argument, but when Katsuo began to cry over Ayumi, they ended up drinking and talking about their past relationships.
Even though he had broken up with Ayumi, Katsuo still loved her, and he buried his face in the cushion, saying, "I'm a guy too, but I wet my pillow every day. Damn it!" As they talked candidly, a friendship gradually blossomed between them.
The next morning, Tsubaki treats Katsuo to natto toast. "Eating something with such an intriguing smell together makes us feel like true friends," Tsubaki smiles, and Katsuo is touched, saying, "Yeah. Why is it so exciting to have a female friend?" Tsubaki concludes, "Maybe it's because I've realized that there's a chance we can become friends with the other half of humanity," and expresses his delight at the friendship between men and women.
On social media, comments such as "Takeuchi Ryoma and Ayami Nakajo Ayami make a great pair," "The pairing of Takeuchi Ryoma and Ayami Nakajo makes me grin with joy," "I love the interaction between Takeuchi Ryoma and Ayami Nakajo," and "Takeuchi Ryoma and Ayami Nakajo are a perfect match" were posted.
She mentioned the drama "The Day the World Ends with You" (Nippon TV) in which Takeuchi and Nakajo co-starred, and it became a hot topic on social media with comments such as "These two are just too good. It's so emotional that they're both from Kimiseka," "As a huge Kimiseka fan, I'm overjoyed," and "The Kimiseka duo is precious."
