Synopsis

Akira Tachibana is a quiet high school student and former track athlete who has been unable to return to her previous form after a serious foot injury. Though others find her attractive, she feels little interest in her peers. While working shifts at the Garden Cafe, Akira becomes increasingly drawn to Masami Kondou, the 45-year-old manager. Kondou's gentle concern for customers—often labeled by others as softness—resonates with Akira and deepens her attachment. As their interactions at the café bring them closer, Akira's uncertain emotions intensify until she decides to reveal her feelings, confronting the consequences of confessing across a significant age difference.
