Ganluji Inami, the officially recognized and sole heir to Ganluzhai, a confectionery shop with fifty years of history, is a genius pastry chef. His only flaw is that he can't speak!
As a high school student, he's in the prime of life, with a bright future ahead and the power to save the world.
He has a good friend, Gojo-kun, who's tall and strong, and seems very hard to get along with when he's not speaking.
He has a regular customer, Gojo-kun, who's tall and strong, and seems very hard to get along with when he's not speaking.
But lately, his friend Gojo-kun has fallen in love. As Gojo-kun's good friend, Ganluji Inami believes it's his duty to clear away any obstacles to his romance!
Before beginning his matchmaking mission, Ganluji Inami excitedly posts an enigmatic message on social media.
-- Gojo, like, work hard, succeed, good!
As luck would have it, customer Gojo-kun follows his blog and has turned on notifications so he can keep up with the latest news about Ganluzhai's sweets.
Customer Gojo-kun: ?
Is the boy from my favorite sweets shop confessing to me? Not sure. Better take another look.
And so--
[Gojo hesitates so much, but that's good too! So adorable, yes, interested!]
Gojo-kun, who spent ages choosing sweets and then bought them at the last minute: Huh?!
So the next time they meet, Gojo clears out Ganluzhai's entire inventory, leaving Ganluji speechless.
[I met Gojo's "good friend." They suit each other, good! Keep going! Don't give up!]
Gojo, who had just recommended that his fellow strongest partner come to Ganluzhai for sweets: Huh?!
So the next time they meet, Gojo keeps a very, very, very, very, very long distance from his classmate, and Ganluji has no idea why.
[Gojo-kun! Confess! Right away! I'll make red bean rice to celebrate, and the sweets are free!]
Gojo, who received leftover sweets as a gift for being a regular customer: Huh?!
So the next time they meet, Gojo decides a confession is more impressive if he makes it himself and boldly declares his love. Ganluji freezes on the spot.
Wait, you, I... You don't have to go this far just because you want my sweets!
He failed to play matchmaker and got tangled up in a romance himself. Ganluji is utterly confused.
