Piece of Cake

Ran's dream is to meet a prince, one of those you see in fairy tales. After several years Ukyo is back… to become her prince? With Ran living in her own fairy tale world and Ukyo not able to express his feelings and thus bullying her, how will this couple work?

Shino feels totally lost in her life. She goes out with a past work colleague, Masaki, quite macho... and troubles at her work make her leave it. She moves out, takes her independence, moves away from Masaki and settles in a tiny room in an old building of suburbs. On her arrival, she finds a little garden she shares with her neighbours, a couple her own age. And little by little, she feels more and more attracted to the mysterious man who lives next door.
