I'm finally done!
I'm dead tired!
Shoot!
Ouch!
I won't make it in time!
I, Sakurai Misaki, am the only daughter of a dumpling shop owner.
I'm back!
Welcome back.
It's no surprise that I've grown up in a household where we ate dumplings 365 days a year.
That probably explains why, back when I was 9 years old...
Congratulations!
...the first time I ate cake at my friend's birthday was such a shock to my system.
WHAT IS THIS?
I could never forget that moment...and so I decided that I wanted to become someone who made cakes when I grew up.
My dream came true...
And to date I've made around 2700 cakes.
I've made around 100 times as many cakes as I am years old.
Senpai! I'm leaving first!
Merry Christmas!
Last Christmas, I camped out in the kitchens for 5 days straight...
...because I had to finish a cake two meters high.
So you've been working hard...
This is my 7th year as a patissier.
I've charged on by spending each day focused on cake and only cake!
If that's the case, then why do you want to leave your current job and work for us here at the Vitz Charleston hotel?
Th-that's...
I'm fired?!
They've decided to combine us with the bakery.
Try to be understanding, huh?
No way...
I see. You'll hear the results soon-
One last thing- could you take a look at the cake I made?
I made it look like a chapel.
What about the dolls?
I wanted to capture that special moment when couples kiss after they've said their vows.
Why are they pouting?
Because they're about to kiss...
Is something wrong?
This is a rejection e-mail!
What? Why?
Senpai, show me what a kissing face looks like.
That's the problem!
People don't pout when they kiss.
I just exaggerated their lips a little!
Senpai, when was the last time you kissed someone?
4 years ago?
The day Murofushi won a bronze medal at the London Olympics.
Gosh, time sure flies!
That's not funny.
Your lips look like a dried plum, you know.
What can I do? Work was always so hectic so I never had the free time to take care of my lips or fall in love!
You really don't get it do you? Listen up.
It's because you haven't kissed anyone in 4 years that these dolls turned out so weird.
And that's why you failed the interview.
As if I'd want to work with that interviewer with the shiny comb-over anyway!
I'm the one rejecting them!
There you go again, acting all tough.
Apologies for the wait.
Here's the fried spear squid with parsley you ordered.
Wait!
You can have this cake if you like.
She made it!
By the way, she's single and ready to mingle.
Akama-chan!
It'll definitely taste great, knowing her. Go ahead!
In that case...thank you. Excuse me.
Looks like there's hope, don't you think?
That's enough of that!
It's your boyfriend, isn't it?
I'll be fine, go see him.
But...
It's okay. I'm used to drinking alone.
Alright, I'll go. Sorry!
Good luck with the job hunt!
Alright.
Farewell!
"Farewell?"
Hello? Amore?
Cheers.
It's been a year since we started dating, huh?
Thank you so much!
Sorry about before-
Apologies for the wait.
-One nasigoreng please. -So one nasigoreng?
Maybe I'll go to the bathroom...
It's because you haven't kissed anyone in 4 years that these dolls turned out so weird.
And that's why you failed the interview.
Your lips look like a dried plum, you know.
No way...
Excuse me?
I think the lock broke...
Hello! Is anyone out there?!
This is the worst.
The customer at table 8 still hasn't paid their bill.
Customer, we're closing soon.
I need help!
Excuse me. How can I help?
The lock broke so I couldn't get out...
I'm really sorry.
Excuse me.
Could you step away from the door please?
Miss...
...are you okay?
Are you okay, Sakurai?
Chiaki-san?
Sakurai!
You met your first love?
And on top of that, you knew Chiaki Shibasaki personally? An up-and-coming enthusiastic restaurant producer: Chiaki Shibasaki (29)
We worked together back in high school.
Is he an ex-boyfriend?
As if!
It was unrequited till the end.
And so? What happened last night?
After that...
So what's your job right now?
I'm a patissier.
So your dream came true after all! Where are you working?
V-Vitz Charleston...
You mean that 5 star hotel?
That's amazing!
Well...
Are you coming back from work? Why are you in a suit?
The truth is...I'm on summer vacation at the moment...
...since the kitchens are being renovated...
In that case, how about working for me?
I tried the cake you made.
It was delicious.
Chiaki-san...
When I asked you to work for me, I wasn't talking about the restaurant back there but the one in Shounan.
Shounan?
If it's too far away for you, you could stay at my place. I don't mind.
Stay at your place?
The room next to mine is free.
The room next to yours?!
If it's fine with you, you can use it.
How about it?
Give me some time to think about it...
You HAVE to go!
Love is definitely in the air! I can feel it!
But I haven't kissed anyone in 4 years...and yet all of a sudden I get asked to live with someone...
This is uncharted territory for me!
I can't do it.
Then I'll go instead!
Hello? I'm calling about the Shounan offer...
-It looks like Misaki-senpai can't go, so instead I'll- -Hey...wait! You can't! You can't! No!
Come on, be honest.
What do you really want to do?
I...want to go.
I want to change.
Alright!
Let's go then!
W-wait!
That looks great on you!
If you're going to live with a guy, even the house is a battlefield.
You have to arm yourself properly!
But isn't this a little too cute?
Listen up!
After you get out of the bath, you should wear no-makeup makeup.
Wear your hair up so your nape is exposed.
Instagram downloaded!
Senpai, make an Instagram account.
Why?
So you can have a good off-line life!
You can't have a good off-llne life if you don't have an awesome Instagram to prove it!
So start by working on your Instagram account.
A good off-line life, huh...
That's right.
The last step is...this!
Lip balm?
From now on, be sure to put this on...
...and have a lovely kiss with Chiaki-san!
K-kiss Chiaki-san? That's a little...
Don't worry Senpai, you can change!
When you have someone you like...
...your whole world will change.
I want you to experience that for yourself, Senpai.
I'll be waiting for good news!
See you later! Bye!
This summer, I'm going to fall in love!
Summer is finally here!
Subs by chubba00 on livejournal. Thanks for watching :)
It's so pretty!
Excuse me! Would you mind taking a photo for me?
Of course.
-Actually, don't worry about it. -Sorry. Let's go!
Excuse me! Would you mind taking a photo for me?
I'm kind of in a hurry...
Please! I only need one photo.
This is...
Whoops! Sorry, wrong screen...
Hm...alright, it's in camera mode now.
Here!
Hey, I'm going to jump so make sure to take the photo when I'm in the air!
I have to upload a photo of my jumping by the sea on Instagram to show I have a great off-line life!
It's a very important task I must complete!
I'm going to jump! Ready, set...
Go!
How did it turn out? Did you get it?
Huh? Was your timing off?
Alright, I'll try it one more time so bear with me.
I'm going to jump!
Ready, set...go!
I took your photo.
Here.
Wait!
Isn't a little weird to take a photo of me in this kind of situation?
Situation?
I fell down, got wet and covered in sand!
So?
If you see someone in trouble, isn't it normal to help them?
You wanted your ball back, right? Sorry.
Thanks!
What the heck is wrong with him?
This is the worst! I feel gross...gosh!
You have reached your destination.
What a nice house!
I was waiting for you.
Ch-Ch-Chiaki-san?
Sorry...I need to change my clothes-
Who are you?!
Sorry, I mistook you for someone else!
For who?!
Wait, are you Misaki-chan?
Who are you?
I'm going to live with you from now on. I'm Touma.
I think this is a misunderstanding!
I'm here to live with someone called Shibasaki Chiaki-san-
Yeah, that's right. Nice to meet you.
Wait, what? What's going on?
By the way, is your face okay?
My face?
Come on in.
Excuse me...where's Chiaki-san?
I think he'll be home soon.
Could I use the washroom?
It's at the end of the hallway.
What? What's going on? What?!
Why are you here? Are you stalking me?
What? I could say the same for you.
-Stop right there! Don't come any close! -What's wrong?
-Call the police! -Call the police!
Isn't this a misunderstanding?
Siblings?
The middle brother is Kanata. He's a chef.
And the youngest is Touma. He's a student. -That's the story.
So you were living with your brothers!
So that means the four of us are living together...
Wait...I didn't mention it before?
Did you think it was going to be just you and my brother?
No, no...of course not!
And this is Sakurai Misaki-san. She's a patissier at the Vitz Charleston Hotel.
-That's pretty awesome! -What's awesome about it?
This girl had bro's photo-
Nice to meet you. Kanata-san!
I'm going to do my absolute best, so let's get along.
You're in the way.
He has no manners, huh?
Sorry about that. I'll show you to your room.
Okay!
Here we are, come inside. This is your room.
It's right next to mine, so let me know if you have any concerns.
Thank you.
By the way, you can't sense ghosts, right?
I think there might be something supernatural in this room.
I-in here? I doubt it...
Will you be okay?
Y-yes! I'll be fine!
I'm just joking!
Please don't do that!
You're still pretty meek, huh?
Well, that part of you hasn't changed either!
Let's go check out the restaurant next.
Okay!
You came at the perfect time, just when we needed a patissier.
Although we'll need you to help with other things around the restaurant.
Leave it to me! I really like serving customers anyway.
Looks like we picked the right person. Alright, we're here!
So this is the restaurant?
Yep. This is it.
It's gorgeous!
Are you okay?
Yes...
Pretty much all of our customers are regulars.
They tend to prefer dishes made from local ingredients.
So this is a restaurant loved by the locals...
Yeah.
This is the entrance.
It's a lot more spacious than I expected!
The kitchen is in the middle and the pantry is on the left.
And if we go up the stairs, we reach the terrace.
This is amazing! We can see the sea!
The view in the evening is even better.
I'm looking forward to it!
The sun goes down right over there.
Sorry...
Ask Kanata about the kitchen.
Okay!
Hello?
What?
Chiaki-san told me to ask you about the kitchen...
I don't want to.
But Chiaki-san's-
Outsiders aren't allowed in the kitchen.
Hey...
I'm going to be working here from tomorrow, you know...
Give me a second.
What is this?
It's for cleaning the toilet. You better do it properly.
Fine.
Why did you do it?
Do what?
Why did you hire her?
What is it about her that bothers you so much?
Look, it's Sakurai!
Nice shot!
The beer's on Kanata!
Try it.
Sakurai's cake.
Then you'll understand why I chose her.
"Your love fortune is amazing today!! You will kiss someone you are destined to be with."
"You can't come home until you've kissed someone, okay!"
I'm way too happy right now!
Sakurai.
Yes?
The bath's ready so you can use it first.
Okay.
If you're going to live with a guy, even the house is a battlefield.
You have to arm yourself properly!
After you get out of the bath, you should wear no-makeup makeup.
Wear your hair up so your nape is exposed.
Let's do this.
Alright.
Hey! You should knock first!
What were you going to do if I was naked?!
Nothing really.
Get out! I'm still getting ready!
You're so unrefined!
What?
Could you stop staring at me like that?
I don't have any makeup on...
Your exactly my type.
Your tag is still on.
And your eyeliner smudged.
You're exactly my type, after all.
The kind of person who comes here to play around and do a half-assed job but acts like they're here to work...
The type I hate the most.
You've probably spent your entire career like that right? Half work, half play.
No one's going to want to eat a cake made by the likes of you.
What do you know?
Get out.
You're so unrefined.
Hello?
What was with that emoji? Seriously!
Let me guess...did you make some progess?
It's not that...
I've discovered an enemy that I absolutely have to defeat.
An enemy?
He's Chiaki's brother and he's the absolute worst!
He has a foul mouth, he's judgemental and he looks down on people!
I'm going to make him try my cake and take him down!
So you're living with Chiaki-san's brothers too!
Out of curiosity, are they hot too?
I can't see them like that anymore.
And that's why I'm pretty busy right now.
Alright, I'll leave you to it! Work hard!
Okay, bye!
4 spoons of gelatine...
It's done!
Morning...
Morning.
What's that?
Want to try some?
It's delicious!
Really?
Seriously, it's so good!
It tastes like something you could eat at a hotel in Tokyo.
Tokyo cakes sure are on a totally different level.
Pretty much all of our customers are regulars.
They prefer dishes made from local ingredients...
Good morning.
What?
I figured we could go to the restaurant together.
I want to know more about you. Since you're the chef after all.
Are you fine with hitting on anyone as long as they're a guy?
Wait for me!
Hey...how old are you?
24.
Wait, so you're younger than me?!
I'm 3 years older than you!
Could you stop speaking so rudely to me?
When you were in your first year of middle school, I was in high school!
I'm not listening to you.
Why did you become a chef?
What kind of local ingredients do you use?
I bet you have no friends, right?
Do you even realize that there's something seriously wrong with your personality?!
You should listen when people are talking to you!
Go back!
No, I won't!
So you listen to this type of music...
Your taste in music is unexpectedly good.
You're the worst! Unbelievable!
What if my ear drums burst?!
You have to fix your personality...
No violence!
Your lips look like a dried plum.
Seriously!
What are you so angry about?
N-nothing really...
I know you, Sakurai. You've always worn your heart on your sleeve.
What's the matter?
To tell you the truth, I made a cake for Kanata-san to try...
But I'm not satisfied with it...
When I thought it over, I realized I don't anything about this restaurant or Kanata-san.
I see...in that case, why don't you try it for yourself?
Our menu.
Omelette burger?
When we first opened shop, thit was my dad's signature dish.
Now it's Kanata's.
That's so sweet...like it's been passed down from one generation to the next.
It was my dad's will that the three of us would protect the restaurant.
Touma actually wants to become a chef too.
Is that so...
He's attending a cooking school right now...
After he graduates and gets his license...
...he's planning to help Kanata in the kitchen.
That sounds great...
I'll get going first.
Okay!
Sorry, we're not open yet-
Shibasaki-kun.
Higashimura-san...
Good morning.
I'm terribly sorry, but we have no intention of joining your restaurant chain.
You're quite the stubborn one, huh?
Please leave.
I've come to like you quite a bit.
Pardon?
You know, I much prefer wild dogs over tamed ones. They have a wariness about them.
The level of their emotional attachment is completely different.
-There are also dogs who don't get emotionally attached to their owners. -No, there aren't.
Not even one.
Pardon our intrusion.
-Here's your omelette burger! -It looks delicious!
Are you new here?
Yes, that's right. I'll be working here from today.
-It looks so delicious! -It smells so good!
Excuse me...
Thanks for the food...
It's so good!
So this is the secret ingredient...
What are you doing?
I told you outsiders aren't allowed in the kitchen.
I-I was just curious about what the omelette burger tasted like...
Did you lick it?
I wouldn't say I licked it...I just took a bite...
Hey, if you don't mind could you make me one of those later? So I can-
Why should I, especially for someone like you?
Go back to Tokyo already.
I heard someone new moved into your place.
Yeah...
I heard she was pretty cute.
How many points is she out of 100?
I can't see her like that anymore.
You're kidding. Why, what's wrong?
She's the kind of girl I hate the most.
She came to our restaurant to pick up guys.
Can you blame her?
Summer makes people fall in love.
Nobirin, you're so cool!
Right? You're just as cute, Mikarin.
Really?
Let's kiss.
The counter's in the way!
Don't you get it?
There's nothing like falling in love with someone.
You'll attract girls even if you sit still and don't say a word. Here you go.
But unexpectedly, it's always guys like him who suddenly fall in love with someone their fated to be with.
That's never going to happen.
It's possible!
It could happen.
T/N: Bottle says 'Maccha', which is a traditional powdered green tea used in tea ceremonies.
Alright.
Hey, Touma.
Hey!
Are you coming home from school?
Yeah.
Isn't your licence exam soon?
Yeah...
Work hard.
Okay.
That reminds me...I found something pretty interesting.
Look.
What is this?
Look at the username. _beautiful_bloom.
What is it in Japanese?
Beautiful bloom? (T/N: Misaki also means a beautiful bloom)
It's definitely Misaki-chan's!
That's a photo of the beach here and her DP is a cake!
"I'm going to fall in love this summer"
"Summer is finally here!~"
Read the comments.
"wakaba0502: You're not allowed to come home until you've kissed someone!"
She's pretty eager.
I'm done!
How many times do I have to tell you that outsiders aren't allowed in the kitchen?
Good timing! And you're just where I need you to be.
Ta-dah! I finally perfected a dish I'm proud of!
Try it.
There's no way I'm eating that.
Don't say that! Come on, just try it-
I told you I don't want to!
What did you do that for?
Clean it up straight away.
What are you doing?
I'll make it again.
I won't be satisfied until you try it.
Why bother? You know I'm not going to eat your cake.
And you call yourself a chef?
You've made up your mind even though you haven't even tried it. And you still call yourself a chef?
Yeah! I'm the chef here!
I'm the chef and I don't approve of you!
Someone like you isn't qualified to stand in this kitchen!
You're the one who's not qualified!
Isn't this the precious restaurant that your father passed down to you?
To think that someone like you is the chef here...
...your father would be ashamed-
Hey...no violence!
What was that just now?
You wanted to kiss someone, right?
If you're satisfied, get the hell out of here.
Don't treat me like an idiot.
Sakurai.
Was Sakurai here? I can't get in touch with her.
She probably left. We don't need someone like her.
You know...you don't understand anything at all.
Make a dessert as good as the omelette burger!
Demi-glace
A Japanese-style desert that screams summer: Maccha tart
T/N: Bottle says 'Maccha', a traditional powdered green tea used in tea ceremonies.
I want to know more about you.
Why did you become a chef?
If you don't mind, could you make me one later?
I finally perfected a dish I'm proud of. Try it.
You've made up your mind even though you haven't even tried it. And you still call yourself a chef?
Isn't this the precious restaurant that your father passed down to you?
Chiaki-san
Chiaki-san...
You should've at least picked up the phone.
Let's go home.
Don't worry about Kanata...it's fine now.
He's probably realized his mistake by now.
No...
Kanata-san didn't do anything wrong.
I deserved it.
What do you mean?
I'm sorry.
I lied to you.
About what?
I don't actually work at the Vitz Charleston hotel.
The truth is I used to work at a small cake shop...
...but I got fired a month ago.
I've been job hunting ever since...but I haven't had any luck.
The only thing I can do is make cakes...and yet no one acknowledged even that.
I felt so ashamed...that I was nothing special.
That's why, the other night...
...when you asked me to come out here, I was honestly so happy.
I felt like I had finally been acknowledged.
That even though I'm like this, there was someone out there that needed me.
That made me so ridiculously happy and I got carried away...
But Kanata-san saw through it all.
Serves me right.
What in the world am I doing?
I'm such an idiot, huh?
I really am...
...an idiot.
Here.
Hop on.
But...
I understand.
That you're passionate and take pride in your work....
That you're straightforward and you always do your best...
And that you're a little clumsy.
I understand you well.
It's because you're the way you are that I want you to stay.
Chiaki-san...
Come on, let's go home.
Hold on tight.
I said, hold on tight!
What did you say?
It's because you're the way you are that I want you to stay.
"Your love fortune is amazing today!! You will kiss someone you are destined to be with."
Thanks, Chiaki-san. You came just when I was starting to feel hungry.
Thanks for the food.
Who knew that cheese, rice and seaweed would taste so good together!
You're amazing as always, Chiaki-san!
Wh-why did you stay quiet all that time!
If you realize someone is mistaking you for someone else, isn't it normal to speak up?!
You've got no sense at all!
You're the one with no sense.
The Maccha creme d'amande was too sweet.
If you make it too rich, the sweetness of the egg will be lost.
You'll need to use a little more sense if you want to make something as good as the omelette burger.
Wait, did you...hey!
What's this?
Turn up 30 minutes before we open the shop to clean the restaurant. Don't leave even a speck of dust behind.
Clean up the shop after hours as well. Got it?
Yes.
Why are you acting so high and mighty?!
For your information, I haven't forgiven you yet!
For what?
What do you mean, "what"?
Just know that if you do that again, I'll beat you to a pulp!
What are you talking about?
Whatever!
It's been 4 years and yet...
By the way...
The other one tastes even better.
The other rice ball.
T/N: There's a dried plum in the riceball.
That guy...
It's sour!
Good morning!
-Morning -Morning!
Where's Kanata-san?
He already left.
I'm off!
Ouch...I'm off!
Shoot!
Hello!
-Good morning! -Good morning! You too!
-Have a safe trip! -Thanks!
-Thanks for getting our ball! -Here you go!
-Bye! -Be careful!
Shoot!
Good morning!
-I'm safe! -You're late!
Sorry...
Give the key back if you aren't planning on using it.
I will use it! I'm going to make a cake now!
You're only allowed to use the kitchen before hours, after hours and during breaks.
But right now it's before hours...
Ow...
Go and buy all of that. Now.
Okay...
Excuse me...
Sorry, we haven't opened yet.
Is there a problem?
Sorry...it's nothing.
He's so uptight...
Chiaki-san...
I want you to make our wedding cake.
She's the total opposite to me...
Why do you like bro?
I want him and only him to think I'm cute...
Come with me. No complaining.
