The seventh episode of NHK's "Drama 10 'Convenience Store Brothers: Tenderness Mojiko Kogane Village Branch'" (NHK General, Tuesdays at 10 PM), starring Kento Nakajima, will air on June Getsuku. The subtitle for this episode is "Reflections on Love with Grandma, Served with Peach Tart."
"Convenience Store Brothers" is based on the novel of the same name by Sonoko Machida. It is a heartwarming and mysterious human comedy set in a convenience store in Mojiko, Kitakyushu City. Nakajima plays two roles: the protagonist, the "pheromone store manager" Mitsuhiko Shiwa, and his older brother, the "wild, anything-goes guy" Nihiko Shiwa.
In the seventh episode, Nagata Mitsue (Kimiko Yo), who was laid off and begged by her son and daughter-in-law to sell her familiar home in Saga and move to Moji because they couldn't pay their mortgage, is having trouble adjusting to her new life. One day, she falls ill in Mojiko but is coincidentally helped by Shiwa, which leads her to become a member of Shiwa's support group and begin supporting him. Meanwhile, Mitsue's granddaughter, Shino (Tomomi Nakai), has just broken up with her boyfriend.
At that moment, the Nagata family is thrown into chaos when Mitsue's fashion suddenly changes...
