At first, I thought this was a weepy soap opera. I’m now at episode 36, and Mampuku has become part of my daily viewing. The characters are delightful, and it is a wonderful insight into Japanese culture. It is quite informative about Japan during WW2. Each episode is a mere 20 minutes, so easy to fit in somewhere during the day.
