Old-Fashioned Cupcake

Product Information

Minoru Togawa—Nozue's young, work-oriented subordinate—has been watching him from the sidelines. When he invites Nozue to join him in trying out different activities, they end up taking on more conventionally feminine amusements instead of stereotypical manly bonding. During their ventures, the two men eat at popular shops and engage in girl talk. In modern society, it seems absurd for these coworkers to be indulging in childish antics. Yet these experiences may be just what Nozue needs to grow out of his midlife crisis and realize that life has much left to offer—especially sweets and love.

The protagonist, 39-year-old Nozue, leads a comfortable but very repetitive life, where every day looks the same; he lives alone, he cooks for himself, he goes go work where he's liked by everyone, and then he comes home to his empty place. This simplicity in his routine eases him; yet he finds himself in a slump where he is weighed down by the passage of time. He just does not enjoy anything the same way any more.

After Kakitani, Nozue's friend and co-worker, nearly figures out their relationship, Nozue suggests to Togawa that they put some distance between each other, causing Togawa to become upset. After spending some time apart, Nozue confesses to Kakitani and Kirishima about his relationship with Togawa. Kirishima has Togawa bring Nozue home, allowing them to make up. At the same time, Togawa announces that he is transferring jobs so that he can grow in his career and eventually be on equal standing with Nozue. A few days later, Kirishima encourages Nozue to pursue what is important to him, and Nozue accepts the new changes in his relationships.

Nozue feels he has reached a point in his life where there is no point of progressing further, as he continues to turn down chances to advance in both his professional and personal lives. He confides this in his 29-year-old subordinate, Togawa, and jokes about being a young girl to feel the excitement of life again. Togawa unexpectedly takes him to a diner, where he has his first experience eating a pancake. Nozue learns he can still have new experiences at his age, while Togawa shares that he has respected him ever since he encouraged him to be positive during his job interview. ihr HertZ 2020年7月号"[ ihr Hertz July 2020 issue].
