Shikada Kokonotsu is a boy who wants to be a mangaka. While drawing his manga he gets a call from his friend Tou-kun, who ask him to come by the cafe to have a break with him and Saya. Kokonotsu's father , Shikada Yo, comes in and tell him that he has to talk to him. His father tells him that he has to become the heir of their family business instead of becoming a mangaka. Kokonotsu refuses saying that he wants to become a mangaka and that they run ony a candy shop(Dagashiya). His father tells him that he has talent for Dagashiya and forcing him to look after the shop and runs away. A girl named, Shidare Hotaru, the next heir of Shidary Company a candy making company comes to look for Yo. Yo being not here, Hotaru challenges Kokonotsu to see if he would be able to be her rival. Kokonotsu unwillingly accepts the challenge and is able to satisfy her. Yo comes in and feel Hotaru loves for candy and they both feel like they understand each other. Hotaru came with a job for Yo in her father's company. Yo refuses to accept because he wants Kokonotsu to take over the shop. Hotaru decides to stay until she can change Kokonotsu's mind.
At his friend's,Tou, cafe, Kokonotsu ask Tou if his father is famous where Tou answers yes because he is a pretty weird person. Kokonotsu tells him that a person came to see his father, Tou becomes interested in the person that came in and ask if it was a girl. While talking all happily Saya is listening and becoming more and more angry. When Kokonotsu ask her for more coffee, Saya being angry fill in his cup too much and add a huge amount of sugar in it. Kokonotsu liking sweet stuff drinks all of it explain to Saya why he like her coffee. Before going, Kokonotsu hand over some sweet to Saya, who does not like sweet thing but still take them. Her brother teases her because she like Kokonotsu. Before going out herself, Saya beats up his brother and tells him to look after the shop. While cycling Saya sees a bicycle in the rice padding. It was Hotaru who fell because she was staring at the word of her ice stick. Saya takes her home and lend her her shower. While Hotaru is coming out of the bath, Saya's brother comes in and sees Hotaru nakes. He is knocked out by Saya and Hotar being a bit of an airhead thanks him for his sister's kindness, while being completely nude. Saya offers Hotaru coffee and she liked it. The episode ends with Hotaru telling Saya where she lives. Not exactly where she lives that is.
To tell you the truth I am kind of interested in what happens next and how Hotaru gonna make Kokonotsu agree to take over the Dagashiya. The episode shows you the goal of the series and introduces to the characters very well. Their feeling are quite transparent and very funny. I like the little mystery about who exactly is Yo-san and how come he is so famous. I think Hotaru is still hinding something but we will see what happens. It kind of give the felling of an anime with random funny episodes but having made her goal to convince Kokonotsu to take over the shop, the story might develop toward Kokonotsu becoming a Dagashiya owner. The romantic development are also quite interesting. Though I still can't read Hotaru too well, like what she is going to do why she is there and why she fell in the rice padding. Well I can say I am really interested in the next episode to know what happens next and to know more about the character. Oh one more thing Tou is quite perverted, without a doubt as he was reading a gravure book in plain day.
