Synopsis
Hourai Setsuko is a popular manga artist who marries a man with a son, Atsushi, from a previous marriage. Busy with work, she has little time to spend making Atsushi's lunch, and since her mother died young, she has little interest in cooking. After her popularity drops and her manga series gets cancelled, her editors bring her a proposal for a monthly series about gourmet food. At first, Setsuko has great success, using the recipes in her grandmother's cookbook, but she eventually runs out of material. Just when Setsuko's up against the wall, her editors bring in gourmet connoiseur Manaka Tamaki to give her new inspiration, but not everything goes as expected.
