Is this excitement more than just respect?!

Tomoya Ishida, a rookie editor, had been working as an editor for a sports magazine because of his experience in baseball, but finds himself moved to a magazine targeting female readers. When a colleague gets into an accident, it's up to Ishida to retrieve a manuscript and reference photos from Mitsuya, an extremely popular and openly gay writer for his cooking articles. After making the long trek to Mitsuya's house, the older foodie writer whips up a dish for Ishida, who quickly falls for the delicious food and Mitsuya's mature kindness.
