Synopsis
Fork Ageha must hide his identity while tasting only Cake Kaede's sweet fluids in a secret, mutually beneficial arrangement.
Welcome to the Cakeverse! If someone loses their sense of taste during adolescence, they are diagnosed as a Fork. The only way Forks can taste anything is by consuming Cakes, people who smell and taste sweet to them. Ageha hates that he's a Fork, and he makes a point of avoiding others to keep his natural instincts under control. But when his popular schoolmate Kaede stops by and visits him at the school nurse's office one day, Ageha notices a sweet aroma. Since he thinks he must be dreaming, he goes all out and lets his desires loose. But when he wakes up, he realizes Kaede is a Cake who now has Ageha's Fork identity all figured out! If Ageha wants to keep the fact that he's a Fork a secret, he needs to play along with Kaede's urges. But since Kaede's fluids are the only way Ageha can taste anything, this arrangement is actually extremely mutually beneficial! (Source: Animate International)
