Suki ya nen Kedo Dou Yaro ka

Following a difficult divorce and an unexpected job transfer to Osaka, Soga finds himself emotionally adrift. His days have become a quiet routine focused solely on getting from morning to night without incident. Stripped of his former life and struggling to find meaning in his new surroundings, he relies on small comforts to anchor him. Chief among these is the local restaurant run by twenty-six-year-old Sakae, whose exceptional cooking provides Soga with a rare source of genuine pleasure. For Soga, dining there is simply a way to endure the day, offering a brief escape from his lingering heartbreak. However, what Soga perceives as nothing more than a comforting daily ritual holds a very different significance for the young chef. While Soga remains oblivious, viewing their interactions through the lens of a loyal patron enjoying a good meal, Sakae’s feelings extend far beyond professional hospitality. To the twenty-six-year-old, Soga is much more than just a frequent customer at his counter. As Sakae quietly harbors an affection that grows stronger with each visit, a tender emotional divide forms between them—one man seeking only survival after loss, and the other hoping to offer something profoundly deeper.
