A feared, power-harassing executive is put in charge of a sweets magazine—Takehiko Kanroji of Yudansha, newly transferred from Nagoya to Tokyo. Despite loathing sweets, he tackles the assignment with single-minded intensity, but his overbearing presence drives the team away, leaving him to build the prototype alone. During a visit to a patissier’s shop, one bite changes everything—kanbi, a meltingly sweet bliss, surges through him, revealing a hidden talent for bold dessert creations. As his relentless drive begins to influence the team, pressure from the second-generation president and sudden troubles threaten to derail the project before it can take shape.
