After spending two years in Paris, Ichigo Amano returned to Japan to devastating news: Team Ichigo had disbanded due to their personal goals. However, Ichigo found comfort during her first year of high school when Henri Lucas presented a challenging project. With the help of old teammate Makoto Kashino and new friends Lemon Yamagishi and Johnny McBeal, they created a new Team Ichigo. Nevertheless, their path was littered with obstacles: Ichigo and Makoto became closer, Johnny expressed his interest in Ichigo, and Miya Koshiro relentlessly pursued Makoto's attention, making romance seem unattainable. Despite graduating from St. Marie Academy, Ichigo was determined to pursue her dream of opening her pastry shop. However, she soon learned that the pastry industry required more than just baking delicious treats to succeed.
