Kayoko works at the family restaurant Garden as assistant manager. She has a harsh personality who often barks orders at her coworkers and she is strict on Masami Kondou's performance as her superior in the restaurant and frequently chides him for being "weak". She also has gripes about her salary and the benefits often.

Nevertheless, she serves as a mentor for the younger staff like Akira Tachibana and she provides help and advice when needed. She has a soft spot for children and small animals, like Yuuto Kondou's hamster.



Akira Tachibana was once the ace of a track club, but an injury forced her to quell her passion for sports. Masami Kondou, a divorced father, had ambitions of being a writer and now manages a restaurant, where Akira works. It is the intersection of Akira and Masami’s seemingly disconnected lives that makes each of them reconsider and redefine everything about themselves.
