Story
32-year-old Tamiyamaru Jiro is a bachelor and his occupation is a character costume actor. One day, when he has too much time on his hands, his good friend Hattori invites him to his house and they entertain themselves with the Word Basket game. The next morning, Jiro is treated to a meal of rice with raw egg for breakfast. He is informed that his way of eating which he had considered acceptable is actually in the minority. But he is unconvinced. Furthermore, Hattori’s reason for changing the way he eats is because there is nothing creative about doing the dishes. Jiro appears at an event while still reeling from shock. This is where he meets Mifuyu and discovers that she eats short cake the same way that he does! In that moment, Jiro falls in love. The two of them soon start dating. On their first morning together, Mifuyu prepares a breakfast which Jiro cannot fault. However, the way she eats eggs done sunny-side up makes him snap and he calls her a fool. When he realises it, she is no longer around. At an event venue, Jiro plays a poisonous flower. After that, he invites event team leader Kondo Yuzo to the dining hall and discovers that Kondo also has his own unique way of eating. A shocked Jiro tries eating eggs done sunny-side up the way Mifuyu did once he gets home. He begins to worry about the way to eat. But as he channels his own obsession onto other people, they gradually accept each other and begin to close the distance.
