Story
Tsukishiro Kanoko works at Ryokusensha, a publishing company, and has been assigned to literature editorial department in a dream come true for her. She is in high spirits after she is put in charge of the very popular mystery writer Kagaya Saku by her editor. A 26-year-old who has never been in love, Kanoko knows nothing about true love or men. Kagaya is a special person who taught her about “first love” through his books. But she offends him and he tells her to prepare for the worse. Kanoko tries to come to a compromise in an attempt create works with him. However, he constantly forces chores upon her with a mater-of-fact attitude. And when she thinks he is suggestively close, he casually tries to distance himself. Although she is led around by Kagaya’s behaviour, Kanoko gradually becomes attracted to him.
