The 119th episode of the NHK Asadora drama series "Bakebake, " starring Akari Takaishi , aired on March 19th (NHK General, Monday-Saturday, 8:00 AM, etc.). In this episode, viewers were particularly interested in Toki's (Takaishi) reaction when Heaven ( Tommy Bastow) revealed that he had been fired from the Imperial University.
Heaven's writing was proving difficult. He wasn't receiving replies to his letters from Eliza (Charlotte Kate Fox), whom he relied on, or from anyone else involved, and his anxiety was growing.
Meanwhile, Toki begins making a replacement doll for the voodoo doll that Heaven has lost. At the same time, Heaven receives a series of letters, but they are all rejections. Heaven becomes distraught, scattering books from her room.
Toki, worried, was told by Heaven that he had been fired from the Imperial University. Toki then smiled and said, "Oh, really...? Well, that's good then," and encouraged him, "You'll finally have time to yourself. You can write as much as you want. Write a lot. You're a writer, after all."
Heaven apologizes for no longer receiving a monthly salary of 400 yen, but Toki says, "It's alright. Something like that won't... break up our family, right?" Relieved, Heaven hugs Toki with tears in her eyes and thanks her, "Thank you, Mama."
On social media, comments included: "Such kind words that accept everything. It made me cry," "What a wonderful couple," "The bond between Otoki and Heaven is so precious," "That's the kind of person Otoki is. It was good that she said it," "Otoki really loves and worries about Heaven from the bottom of her heart," and "I cried at the depth of their love."
