Sweet Bitter

Mizuha is a young woman consumed by an unrequited love for Ren, a college student who occupies her every thought. Her entire world revolves around him, leaving little room for anything else in her daily life. She quietly navigates her feelings from afar, dedicating all her emotional energy to a romance that exists solely on her end. However, her singular focus is unexpectedly disrupted by Chiaki, the eccentric classmate seated right next to her. Far from ordinary, Chiaki is an unusual young man defined by his intense devotion to pudding. He is notorious for his dramatic reactions, instantly losing his composure whenever anyone dares to insult his beloved dessert. His quirky obsession introduces a bizarre but undeniable energy into Mizuha’s otherwise predictable routine. Their peculiar dynamic begins after Mizuha politely declines an offering of his favorite treat. Rather than taking the refusal in stride, Chiaki makes it his personal mission to change her mind. From that moment on, he persistently attempts to hand her pudding every single time their paths cross. As Mizuha finds herself repeatedly caught off guard by this relentless and eccentric neighbor, her carefully constructed world centered around Ren begins to shift in unexpected ways.
