What Is PLEASE LOVE ME! About?

The premise of PLEASE LOVE ME! without spoilers.

Thirty‑year‑old Michiko has been job‑hunting ever since her former company collapsed, yet she can’t secure steady work. She continues to support her younger boyfriend while her savings dwindle. When she runs into her former, intimidating boss Ayumu—now the manager of his late grandmother’s tea‑room—she agrees to a part‑time position there. Daily mishaps test her resolve, and Ayumu’s quiet assistance reveals a softer, unexpected side of the man she once feared.
