The story
What it's about
Hoshino Hikari, 30 and single, is the daughter of Hoshino Tatsuro and Yabuki Kaoru, who were united in "The 101st Proposal". She has fortunately grown into a beauty like her mother and inherited her talent, becoming a popular cellist. When Hikari was in high school, Kaoru passed away from illness, and Tatsuro raised her single-handedly with great care. They still live together now.
Hikari already has a boyfriend—the super handsome pianist and wealthy heir, Oto Otsuki. But a new man falls for her at first sight: Taiyo Sorano, 33, single. He's a hopeless romantic who's been rejected by women 99 times straight.
Which man will her father, Tatsuro, approve of as a husband for his daughter—or disapprove of?!
