When checking on the list on upcoming Asadoras i saw this one. Hoping it gets subbed aswell. Massan is one of…
I’m thinking it will end before ww2 too since the couple this is based on both died before it. I love the ww2 stories but it’s nice to get an asadora that doesn’t deal with it every once in a while.
My 36th asadora to watch and it quickly became one of my favorites. I didn't mind the non-ambitious heroine because I just really enjoyed the slice-of-life vibe.
not only this one, asadora has serious SUBs problem
I think it depends on the writer. Last year’s Tora ni Tsubasa has a lot of depth but the next one Omusubi not so much (though I admit I only saw clips of that one).

Actually there’s 37 asadoras with subs and a few in progress. Yes, there’s a problem with people dropping asadoras out of nowhere but there’s a lot less of that lately.
All in all, we’re very lucky to have the subs we do have. I’m hopeful that Teruteru Kazoku will receive subs, but it’s less likely since there’s no JP subs and just low quality DVD rips.
To analyze asadora patterns, Gegege no Nyobo starts the trend of period setting (usually wartime) and based on a real person. The 2000s seems to be an unpopular time for asadoras with 2009 having two with bad ratings. The ratings for Gegege didn't start out strong, but eventually reached to be consistently above 20%. The response from the public was also good with the series being credited with propelling Matsushita Nao and Mukai Osamu into popularity.
After Gegege, you also see the "modern" asadoras start to be made less frequently. The 2000s was full of "modern" asadoras, which is my way of saying that they take place usually around the time they aired or in the near past (1980s-2000s depending). Teppan (modern day setting) aired right after Gegege but was then followed by Ohisama, Carnation, and Umechan Sensei (period settings with one being based on a real person). Amachan (2013) and Mare (2015) proves that the modern setting can still work, but the rest of the decade is dominated by period asadoras. Gochisosan, Hanako to Anne, Massan, Asa ga Kita, Toto Neechan, Beppin-san, Hiyokko, Warotenka, Hanbun Aoi (sort of a hybrid), Manpuku, Natsuzora, and Scarlet. Eight of these are based on real people too!
2020 started with Yell, continuing the trend of period setting and based on a real person into this decade. Six asadoras of this decade have period settings, including the currently airing Anpan (which like Gegege is based on a manga artist and his wife). The next two asadoras are also based real people with period settings. This is all to say that we can thank Gegege for setting the precedent for many of the asadoras we've enjoyed. Though period setting and even being based on a real person is not unique to this asadora, it set the tone for the asadoras that have come after it.
I’m going to let the episodes build up before I start watching, but I’m so excited for this asadora 🤩 I love Imada Mio! Thanks Irozuku for picking it up.
Finished all three sequels! Finally! Each sequel just confirmed to me that asadoras sequels/specials (usually) suck. I have one more to watch (Hiyokko 2), and hopefully it can be the one sequel that's actually good lol.
I’m over halfway through with this asadora and I’m having a hard time understanding why it was so popular…
Okay, I finished it. It's good, but I think it comes down to it not being entirely my cup of tea. It's different from the usual asadora format, relying more on comedy and the jokes really only hit for me 50% of the time. Anyway, I'll go more into it in my review.
Three sequels! In my experience asadora sequels/specials are usually either bad or just unnecessary. Hopefully Churasan’s sequels won’t be either, but we’ll see.
I’m over halfway through with this asadora and I’m having a hard time understanding why it was so popular at one time. Especially to get three sequels… I’m going to have to think about this some more before posting my review.
With Welkame, I really disliked the romance part and Kana Kurashina was the only thing I liked about it
All in all, we’re very lucky to have the subs we do have. I’m hopeful that Teruteru Kazoku will receive subs, but it’s less likely since there’s no JP subs and just low quality DVD rips.

I’d still watch it if it got proper subtitles and I doubt it’s worst than Welkame, which previously held the lowest average rating.
