Description

A gentle giant with a heart of gold finally stops being a love underdog in this hilarious romantic comedy! Takeo Goda is a giant guy with a giant heart. Too bad the girls don't want him! (They want his good-looking best friend, Sunakawa.) Used to being on the sidelines, Takeo simply stands tall and accepts his fate. But one day when he saves a girl named Yamato from a harasser on the train, his (love!) life suddenly takes an incredible turn! Yamato starts working at a cake shop, where she meets a handsome pastry chef named Ichinose. Ichinose mistakes Yamato's kindhearted actions for signs of affection, and he falls for her! Ichinose even goes so far as to tell Takeo to break up with Yamato! How will Takeo handle this new challenge?
