The original work is a manga of the same name by Natsuko Taniguchi, currently being serialized in the digital comic magazine "Comic Tanto" (Bunkasha). Yamagishi Ayumi (Kaho), who always puts her lover first, and Ebihara Katsuo, who has a patriarchal mentality, have been dating since their university days. After living together, Katsuo proposes marriage, but Ayumi's response is an unexpected "no." Through cooking, Katsuo reexamines the things he took for granted and grows as a person.

Katsuo met Tsubaki, who is the type of woman who likes to take the lead on men. When she suggested a "home date," Katsuo began preparing oden the day before, trying various methods.

On the day of their date, Katsuo welcomes Tsubaki into his room and says proudly, "Today's food isn't anything special, but it's homemade oden!" However, Tsubaki replies, "Oh, oden? You can buy that at a convenience store. And it's still autumn, isn't it? Isn't it a little early for oden?"

"What's wrong with this guy?" Katsuo thought to himself, feeling annoyed as he treated Tsubaki to oden. However, Tsubaki didn't say a word of thanks to Katsuo, and instead continued to talk about the delicious oden she had eaten at restaurants.

Katsuo, who had reached his limit of tolerance for Tsubaki's attitude, pointed at her and scolded her, saying, "I get it! I'm in despair at Tsubaki's lack of consideration. To put it simply, she has a bad personality!"

However, ignoring Tsubaki who angrily declared, "I'm going home now!", Katsuo suddenly compared his former self to Tsubaki and said, "Wait a minute... I feel the same way. Don't imagine how the person who made it felt."

Katsuo had previously pointed out to Ayumi that the side dishes were too brown overall and that the ingredients in the miso soup overlapped with those in the side dishes, but he repented and shed tears, saying, "I was trampling on Ayumi's feelings every day."

On social media, people were talking about how "Takeuchi Ryoma is so Katsuo, it's the best," "At first I was like, 'Katsuo, die!' but now I find myself completely rooting for Katsuo," "The moment Takeuchi Ryoma realizes that Tsubaki is the person he used to be, all sorts of emotions come flooding in and his painful regret is conveyed through his acting, which was absolutely stunning," "I like how Katsuo is so remorseful and trying to change his bad habits," "Katsuo has so much potential to grow," and "Katsuo is just so cute (lol)."
