Yukari, a 27-year old fujoshi fangirl who loves the popular yakiniku-themed pretty boy anime "Meat is Mine", ends up meeting Rai, a pretty but enigmatic bar hostess.

Yukari wants to make Rai less suicidal by finding her ex-boyfriend, who she suspects Rai still isn't over. At the same time Yukari attempts to date a decent guy, pressured by her mother and thinking that love might be the answer to set her life straight. Nevertheless, she ends up spending a lot of time with Rai's friend Asahi, a cheery and friendly (but married) host club boy. Based on the novel by Hitomi Kanehara.
