Lovely series of stories. The students, then the businessmen were fairly light and easy. The third, the baker and his long-lost lover was quite a bit harder, but really good. I teared up in a few places but I'm really glad to see them together. Definite reread. --- 1-2.5 Kento likes sweets and doesn't really notice that his bestfriend Hiro likes him.

They both start dating and their relationship moves along smoothly. 3-4.5 Hanasaki takes Sasayama under his wing when he joins the sales department.
