Plot

Amane lives alone in an apartment, and the most beautiful girl in school, Mahiru, lives just next door. They've almost never spoken despite being in the same class — until the day he sees her in distress on a rainy day and lends her his umbrella. To return the favor, she offers him help around the house, and a relationship slowly begins to blossom as the distance between them closes.

Amane sees popular classmate Mahiru crying in the rain and gives her his umbrella. The next day Mahiru notices Amane caught a cold from the rain. Amane returns to his apartment where he lives alone and finds Mahiru with his umbrella as she actually lives alone in the next door apartment. As his cold has become worse she helps him inside his messy apartment and cooks porridge. Feeling better Amane learns Mahiru is an excellent cook and hates the nickname Angel that everyone calls her at school. They both agree to act as strangers at school but the next day Mahiru realises Amane lives on take-out food and energy drinks so she cooks him dinner. This soon becomes a routine of cooking for him every night and Amane’s friend Itsuki actually notices Amane looking healthier. Mahiru finds Amane actually trying to clean his apartment and decides to help, after which Amane buys them pizza. Mahiru reveals she has never had pizza as her parents are rich enough to employ a chef, leaving Amane confused why she struggles living alone on a budget. He asks why she is bothering to cook for him and she insists it is the satisfaction of showing off her skills, but Amane is unconvinced.

Transliteration: "Tenshi-sama to Yūshoku" (Japanese: 天使様と夕食)

After finding Mahiru with a sprained ankle Amane carries her home dressed in his PE clothes in case she is recognised. Amane casually mentions wanting to try Mahiru’s cooking while fresh and hot, so Mahiru agrees to cook in Amane’s kitchen, split the cost of ingredients and eat together. They find they enjoy eating together but Amane still finds the arrangement unusual since they are neither dating nor even interested in each other. While studying Amane works enough to get good grades but Mahiru claims she is required to get top grades but doesn’t explain why. Amane also sees from her ID that Mahiru’s birthday is soon so asks his friend Itsuki and his girlfriend Chitose for gift ideas. Despite Mahiru’s claim she never celebrates her birthday she accepts the gift of hand cream and a teddy bear which make her very happy. She also reveals she usually keeps her birthday a secret, so accepting Amane’s gift is a big deal. Amane wonders if this is what having a girlfriend feels like but quickly reminds himself they are not dating.
