After falling in love with Hiraoka Naoya (Hiraoka Yuta) while watching him enjoy a beef bowl, thirty-something manga editor, Tokoro “Koro” Madoka’s (Motokariya Yuika) life was changed forever. Unsure of how to approach one of her company’s most popular men, Koro sought the advice of one of her co-workers who advised her to follow Naoya on a grand food-related adventure. Her thought was that if Koro couldn’t enjoy a meal with Naoya himself, she could at least enjoy the same meal on her own and maybe learn a little something about the man at the same time.&nbsp;

Taking this advice to heart, Koro began to follow in Naoya’s footsteps, so to speak, by enjoying the same meals he often enjoyed himself. While Koro has indulged in a surprising number of delicious meals since first beginning this grand adventure, she’s more than a little sad to admit that she hasn’t really gotten much closer to Naoya, at least not in any personal way. Although she has learned quite a bit about her office crush through the food they’ve shared.&nbsp;

Continuing to follow Naoya on his delectable food adventures, Koro hopes that someday soon she’ll find a way to connect with her crush in a much more tangible way. But can sharing meals in such a roundabout way really bring any sort of change to Koro’s unrequited love?

As a member of the editorial staff of Juice, a monthly manga for young women, Tokoro Madoka (Motokariya Yuika), or Koro to her friends, considers herself to be pretty successful in her career. But as experienced as she is in her professional life, she’s equally inexperienced when it comes to love.&nbsp;

Despite being in her thirties, Koro has never really had a chance to experience love; though that’s not to say she has no idea what love is. Having fallen in love with Hiraoka Naoya (Hiraoka Yuta), one of her company’s four most popular men, while watching him enjoy a meal, Koro would love the chance to take things from platonic co-worker to romantic partner. However, with no real dating experience, Koro has no idea where to start. Asking one of her colleagues for help, Koro is advised to learn more about Naoya by finding out what foods he most enjoys eating.

Taking this advice to heart, Koro begins to keep track of the meals Naoya enjoys so she can go out and try them herself. While eating the same food as Naoya doesn’t get Koro any closer to him in person, it does inspire her dreams. Unfortunately, a full belly and a head full of fantasies won’t get her any closer to the man of her dreams, will it?

A delightful little treat, “One-sided Love Gourmet Diary” is a 2020 Japanese romantic drama directed by Hirabayashi Katsutoshi.

As a contracted worker at Amagi Pharmaceuticals, Yui Sato (Airi Matsui) might not be living the high life but she’s doing the best she can. Unfortunately, there are times when she feels like her best just isn’t good enough; especially after the death of her beloved dog. Keenly feeling the loss of her beloved pet, Yui tries to drown her sorrows at a local bar, but even something as simple as that doesn’t work out the way she’d hoped it would.

Tired of listening to Yui wail over her dearly departed, Kyoichi Amagi (Mokomichi Hayami) decides he’s had enough. As CEO of Amagi Pharmaceuticals, Kyoichi is used to having people follow his orders, so naturally, he expects Yui to do exactly as he says when he rather cruelly tells her to shut up and go home. Enraged by the disdain she hears dripping in this man’s voice, Yui lets her emotions get the better of her and lashes out at him in an act that leaves him sprawled face-first on the floor.

Called into the CEO’s office at work the next day, Yui is horrified when she realizes that the man she met at the bar last night is her boss. Sure she’s seconds away from being fired, Yui tries to prepare for the worst but instead of firing her, Kyoichi presents her with a most unusual request. Afraid her job might be on the line, does Yui have any other choice but to accept her boss’ strange request to become her slave?
