Summary

"A story that is by turns sweet, fascinating, and bitter, seasoned with all of the skill of a talented author and worth your time." - Anime News Network

From the James Tripee Award Winning author, Fumi Yoshinaga, comes a casual romance between two 40-year-old men and the many meals they share together.

A trying day at court, the aches and pains of aging, and the rising cost of living put Shiro through quite the wringer. Kenji is also in for a few surprises, as discussions about the future and an unexpected New Year’s visit to his family’s home lead to some shocking revelations and an unforeseen proposal. Fortunately, the two always have the comfort of a meal made with love to see them through. Good thing, too, because when a premarital quarrel threatens to torpedo Gilbert/Wataru and Kohinata’s wedding plans, it’s up to Shiro and Kenji to find a way to save their friends’ happiness—without putting their own relationship at risk.
