Shitsuren Chocolatier

Souta, a student at a prestigious confectionery school, has been in a relationship with Saeko, a girl one year his senior, for four years. Their romance began when Souta first laid eyes on her, and they finally shared their first kiss just before Christmas last year. As a result of Saeko's fondness for large chocolate pieces, Souta has become increasingly skilled at crafting exquisite chocolates. Despite Saeko's occasional lapses into habits that don't quite match her idealized image – such as the lingering scent of cigarettes, even though she doesn't smoke – Souta remains devoted to her. Moreover, when Saeko declines his invitation to a Valentine's Day date, Souta's resolve to love her only deepens, a testament to the unwavering nature of his affection.
