Ahh, just finished watching episode #36 of Gegege No Nyobo, which was the last (so far) of the subtitled chapters that are available, and what an end it was! Though no more subs have so far come out, this latest chapter was a fine, fine way to wrap things up!
Episode 36 just happened to finish on a very big arc in the drama, focusing on the first milestone in the newly-married couple’s lives, as Shigeru’s struggling manga KITARO finally gets relaunched with the promise of more orders to come! In this way, it still felt like I watched a “complete” story, that is, I didn’t feel like I was left hanging. It really felt like the end of the first movie in a series.
This concluding episode was so heartwarming and touching, and I have to say that it even brought tears to my eyes! More than just the triumph of getting his manga published is the sweet and subtle way that, through working together on the strip, the couple find themselves drawing closer and closer to each other, and it was so endearing to watch Shigeru letting Fumie help him with his work, and even now, looking at this screen cap of the two working side-by-sde makes me all misty-eyed!!
Such an AWESOME, AWESOME show, and I hope that I'm someday able to watch the entire drama!
