The anime is based on a manga by Rin Asano which started serialization in Young Ace magazine in 2016.
Nagomu Irino moved to Tokyo to pursue his dreams, but after his father ends up hospitalized he returns to Kyoto to take over the family wagashi (sweets) shop. However, he’s in for a surprise when he meets Itsuka Yukihira. The girl who is working at the shop and staying with the Nagomu family is seen as the potential heiress and Irino soon ends up mentoring her. At first, he thinks of her as distant and cold, especially after he learns she refused to inherit the shop. But as he gets to know her better, he learns there is a different side to her.
This is a heartwarming story of forming bonds in Kyoto, where wagashi connects people.
