Sugar & spice: Fumi zekka
After graduating from high school, Shiro was confused about his path in life. He takes a small job at a local gas station, much to his parents' dismay. However, his American-admiring grandmother actually supports him, believing that "a gas station is a romantic place for travelers." Her grandmother turns out to be right—as Noriko, a girl who recently broke up with her boyfriend, starts working there too. Shiro falls in love with her, and through this bitter-sweet experience of first love, he finds maturity. Is Shiro ready to face the challenges of love and life?
