Kokonotsu Shikada aspires to work as a successful mangaka someday. But because he wants his son to someday take over and run the family business, his father puts a spoke in his wheel. Fortunately, Hotaru Shidare, a sweet but odd visitor, decides to assist at the candy shop during the summer. Kokonotsu, however, has overexcited himself since his father will not hire her until she has succeeded in convincing him to abandon his dream and take over the business.
