いつかティファニーで朝食を
Dec. 14th, 2018 12:45 pmSo, I started watching Itsuka Tiffany de Choshoku wo on Viki. The literal title translates as It Will Be Breakfast at Tiffany Some Day, but it's just called A Girl's Breakfast over on Viki.
Of all the things to start watching out of the list of shows they have in Japanese. There are a few others I am curious about, but I started watching the one that is still being subbed. But, this also keeps me from binging the whole thing in one go, because my Japanese is not good enough to follow more than very simple conversation. When I first watched episode six (not noticing that the subs were only at 60%) and the subs stopped halfway through. All I could get was that there were feelings and they were working them out, but actual details... nope.
It's an interesting drama so far.
There are four characters, but it seems to focus on the first, Mariko, who really likes breakfast and the feeling of togetherness a good breakfast can have with the ones you like. But all four women have some complications in their lives that I think are worked out through these longtime friendships - they've been friends since high school.
Mariko - She and her longtime boyfriend no longer see eye to eye, so she moves out and her story seems to be about that so far.
Noriko - Works at a bar and seems to be in a sort of complicated relationship with the manager, and she's also kind of seeing the part-time guy on the side, and is realising she's not happy like this.
Risa - A yoga instructor. I'm not entirely sure what her backstory is (I think I may have missed it) but she's possibly now got a thing going with an old high school crush.
Shiori - A housewife, who sometimes feels like her friends are passing her by while she stays still. Things are not so great with her husband in the beginning, but they seem to be getting better. (Communication helps!)
Looks like the subs are now a little over halfway done on episode 9, so I should be able to watch it at the weekend. If anyone else is interested in watching it, A Girl's Breakfast is available to stream (legally even) on Viki. (Here.) The whole series, parts 1 and 2 are up, but only 8 1/2 episodes are subbed as I type this.
Also, there looks to be a manga. I might have to go hunting for that while I wait for more episodes to be subtitled.
