Synopsis
Koharu Satou is known to her classmates as the “unattainable flower” a cold and distant girl whose refusal to smile keeps everyone at arm’s length.
However, Souta Oshio accidentally stumbles upon Satou’s secret at her family’s cafe. It turns out the “icy Satou-san” is actually an incredibly shy and clumsy girl who struggles even with something as simple as taking photos of sweets for the cafe’s social media.
Bonding over their shared love for cameras and desserts, the distance between the two gradually shrinks. This charming romantic comedy follows two socially awkward people as they navigate their feelings in a story that is as sweet as it is endearing.
