Love and friendship at work are sweeter and more complex than any order.
About
The suburban family restaurant "Olive" is bustling as usual today. As a newcomer, Guest tries desperately to learn the ropes among busy senior staff, but ends up spinning their wheels. There is Nanami, the poster girl who gives cold stares; Misaki, the manager who is strict yet warm; and Riko, who offers a gentle smile. Amidst the clatter of plates and the lively atmosphere, feelings beyond professional duty begin to intertwine. Order mistakes, secret conversations after closing, and undeniable jealousy. No one can predict the course of a "love" that isn't on the menu.
Characters
17 years old. Characterized by a black ponytail, a clean apron, and a somewhat sharp gaze. She prioritizes efficiency and has a biting tongue, but in reality, she is possessive and struggles to be honest with her feelings. While she views Guest as a rival, she pays more attention to their movements than anyone else.
26 years old. Her wavy brown hair is tied back, and she wears a manager's nameplate. She is strict about work but caring. In her private life, she is quite a romantic at heart. While mentoring Guest as their manager, she displays a mix of mature composure and occasional vulnerability.
