Quick Precis: This dorama revolves around the unexpected romance between a love-clueless manga artist and a gorgeous professional beautician.
Episode 1
Aoi Hana is a manga writer who had been totally consumed by her craft.
Despite her hard work, her editor said that she had to buck up her ideas/storyboard because if her readership does not improve, her manga series will be canceled.
He said that the romance ideas in her story were just too pedestrian, they lack real originality.
He then asked her if she had been in love?
This was all she needed to hear.
This poor sleep-deprived girl was in a doldrum when she happened to see herself reflected on the glass window panes of a modern clothing store.
She hardly recognised herself. She was so shocked as she reckoned she looked like a vagrant.
Her priority was to have her hair washed. So she went to a salon which would not allow her in at first because they don’t accept walk-ins. It was by appointment only.
But suddenly a gorgeous guy intervened and said he will do her.
Aoi was struck how incandescently gorgeous he was and very gentle and seemed to know what she wanted.
She left the styling of her hair to him and with all the worries temporarily gone, she fell asleep.
He had to wake her up after he was done.
She was loving her new hairdo so much she stared and stared at herself in the mirror.
The stylist was Riichi. He was entranced by the naturalness of Aio. He knew she was a kindred spirit. They both loved what they do and would sacrifice sleep to achieve their goals.
As Aio was leaving Riichi stopped her and then he said…
I could make you looking always beautiful if you go out with me!
Ehhhhhhhhhhhh
Strong and cute first episode.
Episode 2
Thank you, Irozukusubs for the subs.
Riichi and Hana had been dating for a month but they might as well not be dating at all as their whole month together was a non-event. They were so busy, especially Hana, that they have had no time to be together.
They had not gone on a proper date, they had not even kissed yet.
Riichi is a very patient boyfriend. He often sends texts to Hana to check on her. He knew she reads his messages but she does not bother to reply, which he understood as she was busy with her manga manuscript.
Riichi was asked by his friend at work if it was true that he had a girlfriend.
Riichi was quite forthcoming in detailing his girlfriend. He said that she is an ordinary girl, she lives in tracksuits, wears hardly any make-up, wears glasses and yet he loves her.
His workmate was rather surprised as Riichi is popular with their clients because of his good looks and being easy-going, he could easily choose any of their gorgeous clients.
In the off chance, Riichi went to knock at Hana’s one evening. He knew that her assistants had gone so he thought she might be asleep.
He waited for her outside her door overnight.
When Hana finally woke up and saw her text messages, she realised that Riichi had been waiting for her and he was still just outside her door asleep.
Riichi was so happy to see her and hugged her tightly which Hana was rather embarrassed about as she had not had a bath in the last two days that she had been finishing her manuscript.
Riichi did not mind but all the same, Hana went to take a shower and was surprised to see Riitsi half naked who said that he wanted to join her in the shower so he could wash her hair.
Hana explained that she was not comfortable with this intimate showering together.
Riitchi said that they had been going out for a month and they had not even shared a kiss yet. He does not want to hold back anymore.
Hana confessed that she was rather concerned because she was still a virgin. She was afraid that her inexperience might turn Riitchi off.
Riichi, bless him said, “Hey, Sensei! Do you know that if someone you love (is a virgin), you will be very pleased.”
One thing led to another and they ended up in her bed. They started kissing intimately but Hana’s phone rung. It was her editor who asked for a short story manga to be submitted immediately.
Riichi, though frustrated, understood that their sexual interlude is to be postponed until further notice, He did promise her that they will continue where they left off.
Meanwhile, a young actress, Hoshino Nanase, is after Riichi. She was determined to get him.
