Hiyori, a kind-hearted and self-effacing college student, works a part-time job alongside Shino (also called Ryo in some translations), the handsome and enigmatic heartthrob of the university. Hiyori has quietly harbored feelings for Shino ever since Shino praised his cooking, a hobby Hiyori usually keeps to himself. When a female classmate asks Hiyori to act as a go-between and help her get closer to Shino, Hiyori reluctantly agrees, convinced that someone as popular and magnetic as Shino could never be interested in an ordinary guy like him. The story is set primarily on a contemporary Japanese college campus, with key scenes unfolding during their shifts at the part-time job and in casual university settings.

One evening after work, Hiyori musters the courage to ask Shino if he has a girlfriend. Shino answers that he does not have a girlfriend, but there is someone he likes. Heartbroken, Hiyori assumes the worst and prepares to bury his feelings. But Shino immediately adds, "It's you." This unexpected confession upends Hiyori's assumptions and sends the two into a tentative, sweet romance. The narrative arc follows their transition from secret mutual pining to navigating a new relationship, exploring themes of vulnerability, self-worth, and the slow, sincere unfolding of love. As their bond deepens, they must learn to trust that the other's feelings are real and lasting. The manga is an ongoing boys' love romance by Yuhi Shinome, known for its delicate artwork and emotionally honest storytelling.
