Synopsis
Takamura Uru takes a day off from Café Bonheur and goes on a picnic with friends to the mountains, where she bumps into Abekawa Sou from Abekawa-ya, the traditional Japanese bakery that is Uru's employer's “rival.” Good-natured ribbing from her pals ensue, ending up in our (literally) strong, if oblivious female lead finding out how Sou really feels about her.
Was the delirious shock so great that it makes Uru contract a high fever?
With Sou's feelings outed, we have the Happy Café love polygon all accounted for now (with Shindou-san and Ichirou-kun comprising the other sides). Which one will Make Someone Happy Uru choose? Will she go with Shindou-san, letting us have our ShinRu? Or will we get an IchiRu OTP? Or will it be a ShinIchiRu OT3? Don't tell me dark horse SouRu will emerge the victor?
(Though if it becomes SouRu—after 12 volumes of emotional investment—I will point out to Uru that Sou is nothing but Shindou-san's doppelgänger — from his also dark-haired floppy locks down to his toes, with even the gruff and grouchy disposition intact.)
