When they were kids, childhood friends Kaede (Sasaki Nozomi), Kaoru (Natsuna), Michiru (Nakagawa Shoko) and Emi (Tokunaga Eri) named themselves the Hinagiku-kai. The four of them are reunited on the day of Emi’s wedding ceremony. However, on that day, the company that Kaede works at goes bankrupt all of a sudden. She is also dumped by her boyfriend (Asaka Kodai) and finds herself without a job and love as the age of 30 looms. Kaede makes the decision to become a baker which was her childhood dream. Although she gets a job at a bread shop, the breadmaking profession is hard and the senior baker Aki Kaito (Suzuki Nobuyuki) is also a tough instructor. As a new chapter in Kaede’s life begins, there are unexpected developments for Kaoru who works at a high-end beauty salon, poor bag designer Michiru and newly-married Emi. |
