Touken Ranbu seventh installment

“Let time stop, so that you can be beautiful forever…” It was a dream of an eternal Cocoon. At the end of that eternal Cocoon, the girl awoke from her dream and left the flower garden. The real world to which the girl returns to is a desolate wasteland. An endless journey. An eternal Cocoon. Seeking a death she cannot find. As she wanders, the girl repeatedly encounters and parts ways with others. Fourteen actors and seven playwrights weave together twelve stories of loneliness and madness.

Ltd. and the inventor of instant ramen, the 99th Asadora follows the life of Tachibana Fukuko, a young woman who tries to survive tough times in Osaka with her husband from before WWII to the rapid economic development era. Together they overcome various setbacks before they succeed in creating instant noodles. (Source: MDL)
