Yamada, Kintetsu

At Liliadrop, a high-class manufacturer of women's cosmetics, employees are just as outstanding and glamorous as the variety of their products. In contrast stands Asako Yaeshima, a worker formerly nicknamed "Aseko"—"ase" meaning sweat—due to her unusual problem of excessive perspiration.

To deal with her crisis, Asako develops a morning routine: she mixes different scents of Liliadrop soaps and unscented deodorants to mask her body odor. But her effort does not fool Koutarou Natori, a genius fragrance developer at the company with a sensitive and infallible sense of smell.

Koutarou, astounded by Asako's natural smell combined with the soap, insists on sniffing her every day for a week to save their company's reputation by creating new Asako-inspired fragrances. With such an important reason at stake, Asako consents but never imagines how close she and Koutarou would soon become.

With their fossils being all that remained, dinosaurs were believed to be extinct due to a meteor striking the Earth long before humanity existed. But in 1946, the secluded Barakan Island was discovered to be home to a few remaining species of these prehistoric beasts. With successful research in genetic manipulation, dinosaurs were brought back to life, bringing about dinomania around the world. However, excitement quickly dwindled following an incident that led to a person's death.

Despite the rise and fall of the public's interest over the years, 24-year-old Suzume Suma has always wished to interact with and take care of dinosaurs—an aspiration that allows her to land her dream job as a dinosaur keeper at Enoshima Dinoland. As a result of the incident, the dinosaur reserve is barely managing to keep regular visitors with its low staffing and funding. In addition, Suzume can hardly keep up with her coworkers Karin Kirishima and Kaitou. Regardless of the challenges, Suzume stays determined to bring dinomania back in full force!
