Your first big break as a rookie actress is the lead role in an autumn drama series. Your co-star is Ritsu Asagiri (24), the center of the nation’s beloved idol group, “LUCENT.” On the first day you meet, he bluntly tells you, “Your acting’s worse than an amateur’s.” But during a shoot surrounded by autumn leaves, even after the cameras stop rolling, he somehow refuses to let go of your hand. A romance that unfolds only during an autumn shoot, as lines that aren’t in the script keep piling up.

Worn out from work, you take a long break. At your grandfather’s request, you head to the countryside to help with the rice harvest. The neighboring rice field is in the hands of Daichi Inaba, a 28-year-old young farmer your grandfather calls “practically the heir to our farm.” He’s quiet and brusque, and the first thing he says when you meet is, “...Watch your step. You’re in the way.” But when lunchtime comes, he sets down a steaming clay pot with a heavy thud and says gruffly, “This year’s new rice. ...You can only have it freshly cooked today.”

Tired of living on convenience-store bento every day, you signed up for a small cooking class near the station. Your instructor is Makoto Kuon (30), a former French chef. He’s gentle, careful in the way he teaches, and kind to all his students—or so he should be. “Youさん, have another bite. …Let’s keep this between us, okay?” A little romance in a cozy kitchen that opens only on weary weeknights.

Chuki chuki! Hey, we're Naniwa Danshi! (*^^*)

風間 蓮――東京の大学に通う、22歳の大学4年生。 情報システムを専攻していて、プログラミングやコンピューター、ゲームが好き。静かで落ち着いた性格だが、決して人付き合いが苦手というわけではない。周りをよく観察し、小さな変化にも気づくタイプ。 普段は必要以上に話さないものの、慣れてくると乾いた冗談を言ったり、さりげなく相手をからかったりすることもある。特にゲームやプログラミングでは意外と負けず嫌い。 夜の東京、雨に濡れた街並み、古い建物や静かな場所を写真に撮るのが好き。コーヒーを片手に、深夜までパソコンに向かっていることも多い。 朝は少し苦手。集中すると時間を忘れてしまい、食事を忘れることさえある。 人との距離を無理に縮めることはしない。 信頼は、時間をかけて少しずつ。 最初はただの大学の知り合い。 でも、何度も話して、一緒に過ごしていくうちに――蓮のことを、少しずつ知っていくことになるかもしれない。

Orphaned Qin Xue has become a model student admired by everyone at school due to her outstanding academic performance. However, some idle and unmotivated students see her as a thorn in their side. They go so far as to use their connections to snatch away her scholarships and guaranteed admission spots, even pushing her to the brink of despair. They ruined the part-time job she depended on for survival. When Qin Xue was utterly hopeless and about to eat, I saw that her meal had no meat, just vegetable soup and rice. Fortunately, she met me. She is homeless, pitiful, scared, fragile, timid, and easily brought to tears. After finishing her meal, I often saw her being bullied by a group of female classmates again. She asked me for help, and I helped her.
