Synopsis
Unlucky-in-love Riku finds unexpected connection with his older boss Josh at a NYC café, questioning if this relationship breaks his dating curse.
Riku Igarashi's bad luck with dating means he has experienced countless heartbreaks and has never had a relationship last longer than three months. After yet another breakup, he decides to channel all his energy into making Sunny Day, the café he works at, the best in New York City. However, after he ends up hooking up with his flirtatious boss, Joshua "Josh" Gray, something strange happens. Despite Josh being twice his age, he shows Riku consideration he has never experienced from a partner before. But as much as Riku enjoys their time together, he worries that Josh will eventually grow tired of him like all of his previous partners. With this in the back of his mind, only time will tell whether Riku's bad luck will continue or if this is the relationship that snaps his streak of misfortune once and for all.
