At the beginning of the Showa era, there was a girl running through the town of Kochi at an incredible speed. Her name was Asada Nobu, also known as ‘Hachikin Onobu’.

As the footsteps of war approached, Nobu, who was attending a women’s normal school, had become a fanatical militarist girl like the others around her. Soon, the war began, and Takashi was sent to war. Taku lost his younger brother, Chihiro, in the war, and Nobu also lost the person she loved. After graduating from a women’s school, Nobu’s values ​​had all changed during the war, and she decided that she had to figure out for herself what was right, so she got a job as the first female reporter at a newspaper company in Kochi.
After the war, Takashi quit his job as a scrap picker and joined the newspaper company, and the two were in charge of the same magazine. Takashi wanted to become a manga artist in Tokyo but was worried about whether he could make a living. Nobu told him, “You come later. I’ll go to Tokyo first and wait for you,” and quit the newspaper company and moved to Tokyo.
Takashi followed Nobu to Tokyo, and they began living together in a rundown six-tatami apartment where there was no bath, the toilet was shared, and there was a hole in the ceiling, so they had to use an umbrella on rainy days, but on clear nights they could see the stars. Nobu found this lifestyle interesting, and the two got married, saying, “I want to be with someone who can enjoy any kind of environment.”
