Despite being an amazing cook, Yutaka has struggled to eat with other people because of the way he was treated as an adopted child. This has caused him to be a social outcast with his peers. While eating alone in a park he runs into a little boy, Tane, who asks him to share his onigiri. Tane’s brother Minoru apologizes for the rudeness and it turns out Minoru can’t cook. Their mother passed away and the family has been living on poor cooking ever since then.
Yutaka agrees to show them the secret of his onigiri and discovers a little family that wholeheartedly accepts him and somehow he just fits.
This is a sweet friendship to lovers story about learning that you are worthy of love. The dynamic between all the characters is really cute. I liked the little thread of romance through a family focused story. And it is BEYOND adorable how Tane calls him Yukata instead of Yutaka XD.
