The 77th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Bakebake " (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8:00 AM and others), starring Akari Takaishi , was broadcast on January 20th, and viewers' attention was drawn to Sawa ( Wan Marui) and Nami (Honami Sato).
The day after Heaven's (Tommy Bastow) Japan travel diary completion party, an article written by Kajitani (Udai Iwasaki) is serialized in the Matsue Shimpo newspaper as "Heaven Sensei's Diary." While out shopping, Toki is greeted by the townspeople with comments like, "What a nice Western wife," and "She's a noble lady," and she becomes an instant celebrity in town. That same day, Kajitani visits the Matsuno household during dinner and interviews Heaven teaching Toki English.
Holding the newspaper with the article in it, Nami mutters, "Otoki-chan, you're literally the person of the times." Just then, Sawa passes by, and Nami says, "Otoki-chan, something amazing has happened to you..."
When Sawa asked, "What happened?" Nami handed Sawa the newspaper and said, "Otoki-chan, you're completely on the other side now. Until recently you were living here, licking your wounds and complaining about your bitterness." "I guess... the only way a woman can survive is to sell herself or get together with a man," she said.
When Nami asks, "How are we going to get out of here?", Sawa replies, "We?" and "Even if there is a (good man)... I'm going to get out of here on my own, I don't need a man's help..." and talks about her goal of passing the teacher's exam. Then she raises her voice and says, "This has nothing to do with you, Nami!"
After Sawa left, Nami muttered, "It looks like it's going to take a while for Sawa-chan to get there...But then how am I going to get out?"
Comments on social media included, "It must be complicated for Nami and Sawa. It's because they lived in the same place that they must be feeling conflicted," "They were neighbours until recently, so it must be difficult for them to see an article like this," "The contrast between Otoki-chan who appears in the newspaper and Osawa-chan who can't afford to buy a newspaper is painful...," "Onami-san is strong, being able to encourage Osawa-chan by being cheerful and telling her to work hard together," "I love both Onami-san's toughness and Osawa-chan's nobility," and "I hope spring comes to these two as well."
