Summary of the 5th episode of the drama series "Shiba no Okite"

The fifth episode of NHK's "Drama 10: Shiba no Okite - We Are Dog-Loving Editorial Department" (General TV, Tuesdays at 10 PM), starring actors Daito Shunsuke and Iitoyo Marie, titled "With Love from Dog Hot Springs," will air on November 4th. The "Shiba ONE" editorial team is concerned about the health of the ill Bom (voice: Kenjiro Tsuda). A special feature on "Dog Hot Springs Trip" is planned for Bom, and the editorial team members head to the hot springs with their own thoughts in mind.

The drama is based on the non-fiction book "Heisei Dog-crazy Editorial Department" by Yuka Katano. Set in the Shiba Inu magazine "Shiba One," the drama is a human story that gently unravels the tangled hearts of people. Daito plays Shunichi Sagara, the editor-in-chief of the Shiba Inu magazine, and Iitoyo plays Reika Ishimori, an editor who is somehow at odds with Sagara.

In the fifth episode, Bom, who has been supporting Shiba One as staff dog No. 2, falls ill. Not only his owner Mita (Koga Ken), but also Sagara (Daito) and the rest of the editorial staff are worried about Bom's health. Meanwhile, a plan for a special feature on "Dog Hot Spring Trips" is proposed. This plan was something that Seike (Katagiri Hairi) had been planning for Bom.

With each member of the editorial team holding their own thoughts, they all head to a hot spring. The hot spring turns out to be Seike's family home...
