Midori is a high-school-aged lesbian who has just been rejected, driving away one of her few friends. In the world right now, there are creatures called "Extraneous" that appear out of nowhere, kill people, and disappear again. No one remembers when they started appearing, but the chance of being killed by one is about the same as the chance of dying in a car accident. Midori's mother was killed by one a year ago, and not only is her father rarely around, he's also deeply in debt. She gets attacked by an Extraneous on her way home, but is saved by a mysterious girl who claims that she's a god. Midori names her Hitsuji (sheep) because of her horns, and takes the girl in. They start a website, Hitsujiya, an Extraneous-fighting service provided by Hitsuji.

By Finger Scans:
The story revolves around four young people. After the death of the president of Sung Han Group, a very prominent group in the world, the heir was to be decided. In the midst of all the commotion, his biological granddaughter was discovered, Jung Hween-Lin, and brought to live in the main house. Though kind and softhearted at first, the money changed her and she became very spoiled and obsessed with her bodyguard, Han Jae-Ha. Han Jae-Ha was initially raised by the president to become the successor of Sung Han Group, but instead now he's become nothing more than a Jung Hween-Lin personal bodyguard and head of the security in Sung Han Group. In order to fully protect her he hires a policeman, Baek Suk-Ho, who despite his old age looks very young and fits in immediately in the high school that they are attending. He joined the police force so he could legally beat up people and doesn't care much about rules or the consequences his actions produce. On one of his missions he meets up with Yoon Lee Sem, a biker gang's leader, who with just a few sentences convinces him to destroy his police cars and makes a breakthrough. Almost causing him to lose his job because of that, he reluctantly accepts the mission to guard Jung Hween-Lin. He then meets up with Yoon Lee Sem once again at high school, who looks completely different from the last time he saw her, which makes him not recognize her at first and befriend her. She, too, becomes Jung Hween-Lin's bodyguard, for unknown reasons, and it seems that Han Jea-Ha and her known each other from before, which adds more to Baek Suk-Ho's suspicion about this whole mission.

There is a Japanese saying that goes, “Hana yori dango,” or “dumplings over flowers.” And no one is more of an advocate of this adage than mangaka Y-naga, a woman whose life revolves around her intense work and equally intense sleep schedule.

As Y-naga and her friends visit restaurants around Tokyo to satisfy their appetites, their individual approaches to food add an extra dimension to their witty and comical interactions. Friendships are explored and lifestyle choices revealed, all over exquisite culinary creations that prove that variety on an empty and open-minded stomach is, indeed, the spice of life.
