Soon to be approaching his 40s, 39-year-old Nozue feels his life is at a standstill, and because of his age, he feels he is at a point where he cannot take risks and change his life. As such, he continues to decline promotions at his job and romantic advances from other women. In an attempt to inspire him to move forward, Nozue's 29-year-old subordinate, Togawa, begins taking him to restaurants frequented by women, giving him new first-time experiences at his age. As the two spend more time together on what Togawa has called their "anti-aging experiment", Nozue becomes closer to Togawa while wondering why he is insistent on making him happy. Nozue grows fond of him, but he becomes unsure due to their gender, difference in age, and social standing. One day, Togawa confesses to Nozue that he has loved him ever since he inspired him to have a positive outlook towards life during his job interview. After reflecting, Nozue comes to accept his feelings for Togawa and the two become a couple. ihr HertZ 2019年3月号"[ ihr Hertz March 2019 issue]. Taiyoh Tosho (in Japanese).

J'ai beaucoup apprécié la présence de deux chapitres bonus après le manga pour explorer la relation un peu plus loin dans leur cohabitation et voir où elle s'en allait. Where Nozue states he is already in his forties and past the age for romance, Togawa speaks how he does not think Nozue finds it annoying, so much as frightening. Mentioning the idea of Nozue falling in love, being promoted, to getting entrusted with new work, then taking on a heavy responsibility, and even eating pancakes, Togawa feels it is all too daunting for him. Detailing how he is too consumed with work before turning forty, so then Nozue realized he had nothing, Togawa raises how he cannot figure out what he needs, or wants to do. Continuing that Nozue opening up gives him anxiety, Togawa feels he finds it scary that he is nearing the end of his thirties without having changed a bit. with カプチーノ"[Old-Fashioned Cupcake with Cappucino].

He regularly expresses desire to have grown up as a woman, and multiple times starts thoughts with "If I were a woman..." This lead me to read this story as an older person, who has accepted that they will never actually transition, gets to live out some of the aspects of girlhood they have always wanted. I understand that this was probably not the author's intent, but it made the story that much sweeter to me.It all just leads to a very healthy, wholesome, and heartwarming romance. I can’t wait to watch the live action drama! They’re just too cute to resist! And their playful banter? Be still my heart!

The relationship between Nozue and Togawa was far from perfect, but the tensions and doubts were absolutely real. Nozue’s reservations about his feelings for Togawa because he’s ten years older than him and his boss were handled so well! He has a lot of anxieties about his age and change, and it was just perfectly portrayed! I loved that at the end of it all they do talk about it. They may not immediately lay all their cards on the table, but they do eventually talk things out. Natalie (in Japanese). December 13, 2020. Archived from the original on December 24, 2022 .
