A pastry chef caught between culinary dreams and mercenary mayhem sounds ridiculous because it is, and the show leans into that absurdity instead of apologizing for it. Gonzo's art style makes every frame pop with color and personality, turning a narrative mess into pure visual momentum. The core cast actually has chemistry that justifies the chaos, even when the plot logic collapses halfway through an episode.
Kyohei Tachibana just wants to make pastries. The culinary student has his eyes set on France, where he hopes to train as a patissier, and he lives a peaceful life in a future Tokyo overrun by crime. To save up for the trip, he takes a job as private cook for four young women: Sei, Meg, Jo, and Amy. Then the guns come out. His new employers are mercenaries who take on the bloodiest jobs in the city, and Kyohei soon finds himself in the line of fire, doing far more than cooking. The result is a comedic sci-fi action series with mecha and plenty of gunfights.
