Abstract

A mysterious bento shop that miraculously saves everyone's "regrets".

If you are lost in life, come here.
This is the place for you.

--What is your "regret"?

A bento shop in a corner of the town. No one knows the name of the shop.
People who come here are those who have a nasty "regret" deep in their hearts.
A woman who cannot get rid of the spikes in her memory and spends her days in idleness, a
young man who feels estranged from his mother but is bound by her existence, and a high school girl who is traumatized by an abandoned cat...
A small miracle offered to them saves their hearts.

The quintessence of Gen Kato, a master of spinning tenderness!
These five heart-wrenching gems will give you the courage to overcome your regrets and doubts and move forward!
