One of the most popular family-oriented Japanese dramas “Marumo’s Story” （マルモのおきて）, that took Japan by storm, will be aired on NTV at 9:45 am on every Friday from 23 December.
The programme is dubbed in Bengali. The story is about a single man called Mamoru, who is about to turn 40 and have no parenting experience. When his best friend dies, he adopts his deceased friend’s twin children. With the twins and a pet dog that actually can speak, he overcomes various problems, and comes to realize that he, the twins, and the dog have become a real family. Since the twins call him Marumo, the title of drama is “Marumo’s Story.” The heart-warming story and dance performance by the twins delighted the Japanese viewers from children to adults.
