Kimi to Koi ni Ochite Nakereba

Seiji Nono is a chef at Yamato, a food manufacturing company, specializing in Chinese cuisine. Despite his punk appearance, he is highly skilled in cooking. His cafeteria has attracted many admirers due to the disparity between his look and his culinary talent. When Takeru Misato, a new elite employee, arrives, Nono invites him to eat at the cafeteria. Misato, however, declines, stating he dislikes greasy Chinese food. The two clash due to their strong personalities, leading to frequent conflicts and moments of affection between the aloof newcomer and the fiery chef.
