Plot
The story follows Yumeko Kōda, a plus-sized young woman who wakes up in the hospital with amnesia after an accident. The accident is deemed a suicide attempt, since Yumeko fell from four stories high and was known to be depressed due to bullying and self hatred about her size. The fall left her with a whole new positive attitude about her looks, shocking her parents. She returns back to work at the planning department of a sweets company and tackles problems with new found energy and self-love, which also spreads to her co-workers. But the accident may not have been a suicide attempt after all, and Yumeko is left to solve a possible murder mystery while trying to regain her memories, all while juggling work, love and life as plus-sized.
