Description:

Kuki Reiko, a single 27-year-old in accounting, lives an extremely frugal life, a habit born from a past incident. For a year, she has admired a set of small dishes at a secondhand store, constantly debating the purchase. Finally deciding to buy them, her excitement is crushed when she sees a couple impulsively purchasing them instead. To her surprise, one of the buyers is Saruwatari Keita, her boss's son. Days later, Keita appears in her department. His father, angered by Keita's wastefulness, has sent him to learn financial responsibility from the best-suited teacher: the frugal Reiko. As Reiko meticulously guides Keita through the value of money and mindful spending, their professional dynamic slowly evolves. Will her lessons extend beyond financial prudence, ultimately teaching them both about life's true treasures and the priceless cost of connection?
