Ashita, Mama ga inai Episode 6

If there is one j-dorama that I would gladly recommend this season, that would be Ashita, mama ga inai or Tomorrow, Mom Won't be Here. I have given out my reasons in my first impression that I have made regarding episodes 1-2. Well, recently I have also finished Shitsuren Chocolatier, and if I were to recommend it, that is for entertainment & grandiosity. But for Ashita, I would recommend it for the unique storyline, the adorable characters, and the bond, innocence and maturity of the kids. But what is taking me so long to watch is that gooddrama dot net has just recently uploaded all remaining 4 episodes. Yep it's sad we only got 4 episodes left, nonetheless, I know that this is going to be a memorable j-drama. So I first manage to watch episode 6 and I've decided to write down my review about it since I have so much time on hand.


The episode started with a very cute appearance of Pachi's version 2, who is the new recruit in Kagomo no Le. He's four years old and is the same age as Patchi, who happens to have left the orphanage because he already agreed to live with the parents whom he had trial with. Even though it's lonesome, Pusoto, being his mini mother had to accept his departure from the orphanage and be happy for him as he embrace the new chapter of his life. He's still so young and obviously deserves foster parents who will take good care of him. That kind of responsibility is still impossible for Pusoto to fulfill hence she had no choice but to let him go. Because of this, when the kid appeared in front of Post (Pusoto), she ran up to him and hugged his back. However, when the kid turned around, he wasn't Patchi and is only the second version of his to her disappointment. Nonetheless, it seems that the kid is willing to be her baby, because the next day, he made a fan-service in front of her adorably to which she ignored. 

Moving on from Pusoto's hangover over Patchi, the young yet the most matured kid in the orphanage has another role to help Rokka (Locker) from being violent and in making other children understand his childhood history over domestic violence, in which he was once a victim. Something provoked him to throw some punches to a man on the street after him and Bombi witnessed him hurting his wife / girlfriend. Hence, he was brought in the police station and when it happened, the people around him doubted his character and that including the kids whom he always cooked for, with the exception of Post (Pusoto). It has become a challenge for him to explain himself because he doesn't speak, to which the reason was addressed by Pusoto and Sasaki (the guy in charge of the orphanage). This led to Post digging why Rokka was strange and violent which isn't his nature at all. To me, Post is so mature for his age because she takes care of almost everyone and she doesn't stop until everything gets solved. She was the one to pick Rokka's spirit from being alienated, because everyone has judged his character for the one thing he'd done wrong. So because of Post's concern and persistence, he was bailed out from the assumptions that was created about him. I was somewhat relieved that despite the unfortunate memories of Rokka, everyone is there to make the days ahead, better. Redemption to oneself is more important than proving yourself to others who doesn't care for you.

Verdict: As always, it's a very good episode. Donki hasn't let go of the dream to be an adopted daughter of Japan's Joripi (Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie). Everyone was touched by Rokka's drawing and dedication, except for Donki as noticed by Post, but why? It's something to look forward to in the next episode.
