“Astronaut” Episode 8, all the keys are gone from Astoro Manor!

Stills and a synopsis for episode 8 of the original TV anime “Astronote,” which began airing on Friday, April 5, 2024, have arrived.

The original TV anime “Astronaut'' is a romantic comedy work with Shinji Takamatsu of the “Gintama'' series as the general director and Kimiko Ueno of “Dungeon Meal'' as the series composition.

In addition, he worked on the blockbuster manga “Tsurumoku Single Dormitory'' as the original character designer, and became a hot topic with his character designs for “Nissin Foods Cup Noodles TVCM “HUNGRY DAYS Series'' ~ONE PIECE Edition~'' and “YOASOBI “Taisho Roman'' MV''. Eisaku Kubonouchi, a popular manga artist, was in charge.
This is a groundbreaking sci-fi apartment love comedy that revolves around chef Miyasaka Takumi, Gotokuji Mira, the landlord of the wooden shared apartment “Asutoro-so,” and the residents of Asutoro-so.

Right from the first episode, the series has received comments that are unique to original works, such as “It's absolutely food-filled!”, “The pace is great!”, and “You can watch it without thinking about anything!”
In addition, although it features a rich cast of unique characters and a comedy-filled, information-packed story, it has gained a reputation for being a well-balanced work that is somehow not cluttered.
In episode 7, Aoi musters up the courage to invite Takumi to the “Insect Festival” and talks about the radio show she's always wanted to talk about, but Takumi is shocked that she doesn't remember it. Meanwhile, Mira and Takumi suddenly decide to participate in the “Dog and Bee Tournament” in search of the prize key, but the key they get is not the one they were looking for.

Where on earth is the key…?
