When he was in high school, Sota Koyurugi (Matsumoto Jun) harbored a serious crush on his senior, Saeko Takahashi (Ishihara Satomi). Fully aware that Saeko was only interested in handsome, popular guys, Sota was content to keep his distance. At least until fate presented him with a rather unexpected opportunity to win Saeko’s affection.

After learning that Saeko had recently broken up with her boyfriend, Sota musters up the courage to confess his feelings. When Saeko accepts his company and companionship, Sota decides to prove his feelings for her in the most memorable way possible. Knowing how much she adores chocolate, Sota decides to make her a delicious set of handmade chocolates for Valentine’s Day. Unfortunately, Sota’s gift and his heart are rejected by Saeko, who decides to give her ex-boyfriend another chance. Heartbroken, Sota buries his grief in his newfound love of chocolate making, vowing to become a Maître Chocolatier.

Having spent years in Paris, studying the art of chocolate making, Sota returns home and opens an elegant boutique de chocolat. Known as the Chocolate Prince, people from far and wide flock to Sota’s boutique, including Saeko, who upon reacquaintance, insists he create a cake for her upcoming wedding. Having never really gotten over Saeko, will Sota be able to accept her commission and let her go or will he use this brief time they have together to try to win her heart?

Adapted from the manga series, “Heartbroken Chocolatier” by Mizushiro Setona, “Un chocolatier de l'amour perdu” is a 2014 Japanese romantic comedy drama directed by Matsuyama Hiroaki, Miyaki Shogo, and Sekino Munenori.
