Tomoya Ishida is a newbie editor at fashion magazine Sophia Monthly.After his senior was suddenly hospitalized, he was urgently assigned to collect the column manuscripts of famous cooking researcher Ayumu Miyama.
Soon after, he visited Miyabu and, to his surprise, found Miyabu an affable older man who spoke the Kyoto dialect.He was asked to wait, but after enjoying a simple dish that whetted his stomach, he soon found himself eagerly anticipating their next encounter!
The new editor of fashion magazine First Class is Ishida Yuya (Sakai Daisei). He is very uncomfortable with the female-dominated magazine environment and is very confused and distressed.
Under such circumstances, he became a firefighter for his senior in charge of the column, and had to deal with the very popular gourmet Ayumi Miyazaki (Masaki Yamazaki).When Ishida visited for the first time, he was so nervous that he almost fainted. However, he was completely attracted by the cuisine displayed by Mitsuya.What's more, Mitsuya's gentle eyes, cheerful personality, and occasional cute side make Ishida more and more fascinated...
Because of the appearance of his handsome love rival, Fuyushima (Kouji Kominami), Ishida (Daishi Sakai) cannot suppress his jealousy and delusions.Even Mitsuya (Masaki Yamazaki), who was originally looking forward to it, offered to cook for him, but he refused out of anger.Afterwards, the two went to Mitsuya's favorite shop, Shige's (Uno Shohei) bar.There, Ishida's past glories and setbacks were revealed...
Ishida was so angry that he was about to leave, but Sanya stopped him: “There is something only Ishida-kun can do...”The distance between the two gradually narrowed.However, at this time, a mysterious man claiming to be “Mitsuya's lover” appeared!?
One day, an uninvited guest suddenly came to Sanya's residence.Seeing a man named Kaoru (Tomomi Maruyama), Miya (Masaki Yamazaki) panicked and immediately drove him away.Ishida (Daishi Sakai) has never seen Mitsuya so emotional, stunned with shock and unable to hide his delusions.
Then, Shige (Uno Shohei) told them that they were lovers 10 years ago.Ishida felt that he could not compete with Kaoru, who exuded mature charm, and could not hide his anxiety, but... Ishida took some action with his feelings for Mitsuya.
On the other hand, Kaoru visited Mitsuya again... What was the reason for their reunion after 10 years?!
After Ishida (Daishi Sakai) suddenly confessed "Because I like the teacher", Mitsuba (Masaki Yamazaki) could not hide his confusion.
At the same time, the magazine Ishida is in charge of plans a project for Mitsuya and Kaoru (Tomomi Maruyama) to have a conversation.After confessing his love to Sanya, Ishida felt “self-loathing” and “embarrassed”. What was even more embarrassing was that he had to reunite with his former lover Kaoru.
On the other hand, Mitsuya learned the real reason why Kaoru returned to Japan during the conversation.“ Do you want to live together in Paris again?”Faced with Kaoru's confession after ten years, Mitsuya's thoughts were——.
Ishida (Daishi Sakai) learns that Mitsiya (Masaki Yamazaki) has accepted an invitation to Paris and goes to the solo exhibition of Mitsiya's former lover and professional photographer Kaoru (played by Tomki Maruyama).Although he met Mitsuya at the venue, he left alone due to embarrassment.
Determined to move forward, Ishida applied for transfer.When he went to Mitsuya's house to pick up the manuscript, he made one last request, hoping to cook together.After hearing Ishida's determination, Mitsuya suggested that they go on a date alone on the grounds of celebrating%.
Ishida, who was transferred to a sports magazine, was busy doing interviews.Mitsuya continued his usual days, writing, live broadcasting, and being in front of his popular cooking researcher.
One day, after Mitsuya came home, he found his dog Frito lying on the ground and there were signs of vomiting in the corridor.Faced with the abnormality of Frito, the only spiritual support, Sanya could not hide his grief and indignation.When her beloved dog may die, this is the person Mitsuya first turns to for help.
After Mitsuya (Masaki Yamazaki) unilaterally announced their breakup, someone suddenly began to spread photos of Mitsuya and Ishida (Daishi Sakai) dating on social media, which caused trouble for the magazine.The editorial department received a series of questioning calls, and Ishida had to take a temporary leave.
--Mitsuya Kitchen-'s live broadcast has begun.However, the comments section was filled with indifferent remarks that embarrassed the studio.
At this time, Ishida went to the batting center.He held the bat and thought to himself: “If I can hit a home run, maybe I can forget the person I like”...
This is a “love” that was missed because we liked each other.What future will the two finally choose?
