I loved, loved this series. The premise of acting like a young woman was a little odd to me at first, but as I kept reading the manga, I went with the real premise, that in Japan, there are certain venues that target younger women. I felt that this series conveyed this cultural slice of life very well. Seeing these two men, seating amongst all these younger women, shows that neither age nor gender should be so strictly stratified when it comes to enjoying a place to eat with your loved one.

Takeda did a great of job of showing Nozue's insecurities about growing older, after living a life of playing it safe. Although he has the aptitude for a higher managerial role, he choses to stay where he is comfortable. Through his relationship with Togawa, he is able to break out of his comfort zone, and take a risk in more ways than one.

Kimura is very easy on the eyes and the way plays Togawa is a combination of very masculine, and very caring. Togawa courts Nozue with patience, and admiration, which was very cute. It's obvious to everyone, except Nozue, that Togawa has feelings for him, I cried along with Togawa during his confession scene, and also with Nozue when he finally accepts and reciprocates.

It was so heartwarming to see Togawa and Nozue continue to patronize the types of places they went during their courtship. I would definitely go with them and be the 3rd wheel. They make such a lovely pair that I would watch a show about them when they are in their 80's.
