About Gimbap and Onigiri

Hase Taiga who has been working part-time at the small restaurant "Tanomi" for three years, was once a promising young man as the ace of the university's relay team, but his past was ruined by poor performance. Although he doesn't have any particular dreams at the moment, he is beginning to feel a sense of fulfilment in his work, such as being entrusted by the owner with coming up with new menu items. Meanwhile, Park Rin, from South Korea, a graduate student studying animation is busy working on her assignments. Just when she feels relieved after somehow managing to submit her assignment just before the deadline, she receives a notice to move out of her student dormitory... However, for a foreigner, finding housing in Japan is not an easy task, and she is exhausted both physically and mentally... Then the two have a chance encounter at Tanomi. Rin is moved by the onigiri Taiga serves her, and her hunger and tiredness are gradually satisfied. Taiga is captivated by Rin's smile as she eats them deliciously. And the moment their eyes meet, an irresistible thrill flows between them.
