Pancakes Are a Taste of Regret
As Nozue approaches his 40s, he is neither motivated by life nor does he have any ambition at work, refusing every possible opportunity for a promotion at his job. The same remains the case with love, as he finds it too troublesome to go out on dates and have someone to be with. All of this has his co-workers curious questioning as to why such a kind and popular guy is still single. One day, Nozue and his subordinate, Togawa, go out to visit a client. On their way back, they see girls from high school frolicking around to which Nozue casually comments, "I envy them!” Upon hearing this, Togawa decides to take Nozue to a pancake shop that is often frequented by young and attractive girls. As the two sit down for desserts and start talking, Togawa decides to share a secret with Nozue.
