A meal with someone is… I don't know why it tastes so good-- A good-natured bento shop owner & a weepy novelist. It's the kind of love that fills your body and soul. My parents used to run a small bento shore in the shopping district. He convinced his parents to close the store, and then Ryo suddenly decides to take over the store a while after he convinced his parents to close it down. But it's not as easy as he thought. Management was not going well and sales were stagnant. Then, one day, a hungry young man, a stranger suddenly collapsed in front of the store! Anyway, I ended up carrying him home and had some leftover rice from the restaurant. I asked him if he’d like to eat as well. The young man, Kotaro... made his debut as a novelist, but the pressure was too much. He said he couldn't write the manuscript and ran away from it. He was raised in an orphanage. I grew up in an orphanage as well. He happily said that the food that Ryo made tasted like family. He couldn't leave Koutarou alone to eat. I decided to let him stay in my house for the time being. I've been working on my novel while helping out at the store. On condition made was that he’d show it to me his novel once he finishes it. The two of them start living together...?
