Complete | fujiyama hyouta | 2008 released

Nagisa Takakage just opened a restaurant, and finds himself with a strange regular customer, Koga Nagisa. Koga shows up to eat and to chat with Nagisa. Koga gets drunk one night and Nagisa takes him home, where they kiss but go no further because Koga passes out. In the morning, Koga doesn't seem to remember but afterwards Nagisa can't stop thinking about it and develops feelings for Koga. One night while having drinks, Koga asks if Nagisa had ever wanted to meet the person who made the plates for his restaurant. He says he hadn't really thought about it, which makes Koga angry and he leaves. The next day, Koga shows up to Nagisa's appartment with a present as an apology for his behavior and it's a bowl he made with his card in it. Later, Nagisa asks Koga to make a flower pot/centerpiece for the entryway of his restaurant but when price is mentioned, Koga has no idea what to charge for it so so they go ask the guy who sold Koga's plates to Nagisa and he doesn't know either because he only knows prices for dishware and he suggests he asks Koga's father who is due any moment. Koga tries to leave but before he can, his dad shows up. They get in an argument and Koga and Nagisa leave. Turns out they're having issues because his dad signed hiim up for an exhibition without his permission and he's supposed to turn something in but is uninspired and decides he's going to work on Nagisa's piece instead. Nagisa tells him he doesn't want him to work on it to spite his father. Koga later comes to the restaurant and they go to Nagisa's house where they have a long chat and end up getting frisky. In the morning, Koga shakes Nagisa awake and says he wants to go home. For 10 days, they don't see each other. Nagisa gets a little anxious and decides to call the shop but has to leave a message that Koga doesn't get because he's so engrossed in his work and when he notices, the restaurant is closed and New Years break has started. As it happens, the two have never exchanged cell phone numbers so they don't get to converse throughout the whole break. While having a meal with his family, Koga tells them that the piece he's working on is his exhibition piece AND the commission for Nagisa. Koga's dad flips out and tells him they can't be one and the same and to start over. Koga refuses and his dad goes to ask Nagisa to commission another piece. He didn't know anything about the pieces being the same and after seeing it, he says he can't do that. He wants the one that Koga had been working on. Koga's dad says he'll charge him whatever the asking price happens to be after the exhibition, which means it will be even more expensive. Koga is angry and says he was making it for him and he was planning on just giving it to him. The dad finally relents and in the end, the piece wins second place in the competition and is placed in Nagisa's restaurant.
