Synopsis
Childhood friends turned lovers navigate murky relationship after one-night stand in neighborhood fish shop/butcher romance.
Yukari, who helps her father run a fish shop, and Kanta, a butcher who owns a store across the street, have known each other since childhood. Now, in her late twenties, Yukari's worries about "love," "family business," and "marriage," are endless. Having hid feelings for Kanta for nearly 10 years, things grow complicated when the two hook up one night. Thereafter, the nature of their relationship grows murky, as it's unclear whether they're friends with benefits, something more, or nothing at all. Will this relationship that's too close to home end up in unrequited childhood love, or a mutual confession of romantic interest?! You don't wanna miss out on this neighborhood love story!
