The Patissier and The Mademoiselle

 "Patissier-san to Ojousan"

Very sweet drama about an awkward young patissier named Joji (Tsubasa Sakiyama) who falls in love with a cute and shy young girl named Fumiko (Natsumi Okamoto) who comes in to the bakery every Friday afternoon to purchase a treat to reward herself for a hard week. . Joji finds himself counting down the minutes til his dream girl makes her appearance at the shop!!!

When the girl finally shows up at the shop, he can't wait to show off and recommend his latest sugary confections, and choosing one of the colorful desserts is the highlight of Fumiko's week!

"She's here...!!!!"

"Welcome!"

"Hmm.,.what should I get..."

A NERVOUS Joji recommending some pastries to his cherished client!

Making her choices

She'll get three!

Joji is encouraged each week by his co-worker Ryo (Ryota Murai) to talk to the girl and ask her out, but as both he and the girl are extremely introverted, neither can express their budding feelings for each other, and are reduced to trivial courtesies: "Thank you for your purchase", "You're welcome", etc, etc....

"Why didn't I at least ask her name...?"

Ryo tries to be encouraging to his heartbroken co-worker!

Patissier-san to Ojousan is a VERY basic and by the numbers drama, but somehow done with a lot of warmth and sweetness, you just love the characters from the first time you see them and want to see them succeed in their love endeavours!

EDIT: Oh Noooo, I found out this drama is only 4 episodes long! Too bad, such a gentle drama, wish it could last longer!
