116

Mr. Nita, chief editor of Touzai Graph a weekly pictorial magazine, invites the Culture Department to participate in production of a "Global Food Tour" article. When the attractive Ms. Mariko Niki joins the team, Yamaoka eagerly volunteers to contribute to the project. During an argument about the content of the project, Yamaoka suggests investigating boar stew and Ohara agrees. Yamaoka's friend, Kissho Senkichi leads a wild boar hunt, but they are pursued by a boar and although Senkichi's dog Koro saves him, it suffers near-fatal injuries. When the draft article is presented to editor Nita, including the incident with the dog, he criticizes it for being lightweight and not about gourmet food. Yamaoka then invites Nita to try wild boar stew, and after tasting it, Nita is so hugely surprised at the tenderness and flavor of the meat that he casts aside his prejudices about wild boar cuisine and praises Mariko's article. Later Mariko tells Kurita of her intention to romantically pursue Yamaoka, and she offers to compete fairly. (Source: Wikipedia)
