Michiko Shibata is almost 30 years old... yet she doesn't have her life sorted out in the slightest. The company she worked in was shut down, she's rejected at all her job interviews due to having little to no studies nor experience, and her cute university student boyfriend has taken most of her money through gifts and loans. [[TrademarkFavouriteFood And it's been forever since she last ate meat.]] On the way to bankrupcy, she encounters her former boss Kurosawa, a cross and rude man who has turned down a succesful business career to take over his grandmother's café. Although she hates him to death, she's forced to accept his offer to work on the café, under the promise of receiving meals (including meat!) every day.
As it turns out, Kurosawa isn't as a terrible person as Michiko thought him to be.

* AllLoveIsUnrequited: [[spoiler: Michiko ends up having a crush on Kurosawa, who loves a woman named Haruko... who's already married. Even so, Michiko starts dating her coworker Mogami, who's very much crushed on her, although she still has a preference for Kurosawa.]]

* FaceOfAThug: Kurosawa's friends. They turn out to be cool guys.

* GenericCuteness: Michiko is considered to be average-looking. She's incredibly youthful looking for a 29-year-old.
* GoldDigger: Michiko's first "boyfriend", who seems to be more interested in getting gifts and money from her than an actual relationship. According to Kurosawa, Mogami is one too, even if he hasn't done anything yet to prove it.

* {{Megane}}: Kurosawa.
* NiceGuy: Mogami, even more compared to Kurosawa.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Kurosawa turns out to be this. He gives Michiko a job, food and later the apartment above the café when she's kicked out of her apartment.
* ThePollyanna: Michiko really works hard to not let herself be run down by her circumstances.
* RealMenWearPink: Kurosawa and his friends are skilled at cooking and sewing, and one of them always likes to take pictures of cute things. They're never mocked for this.
* ShoutOut: The name of the club Michiko is forced to work in is Garden 48, and her alias is Yuko Maeda. This is a parody of the group Music/{{AKB48}}, whose first two leaders were Atsuko Maeda and Yuko Oshima.
