Makunouchi: Kubonouchi Eisaku Kessakushu is a collection of short stories that seinen author Kubonouchi Eisaku, known for notable titles such as Chocolat, Cherry and Watanabe, has written in his early days. The contents of this book include: Laplace Yocchore! Tosamaru-kun Bell Robot High School Girl Kaoruko's "Heartbreak" Bizzare -- The Terror of the Salmon-Man Robot High School Boy Kawarazaki Ayumu's "Seishun-I-N-G" Help! Viva Eros Academy Okappiki Eiji Dream of Pumping Up Present "Makunouchi" is a kind of bentou, served during Kabuki in the olden days. It either got its name from the lunch the audience would eat during intermission, or perhaps from the lunch actors would eat during this time (seems plausible since the actors are also "behind the curtain", which is actually the literal translation of that phrase).

The story follows Iku Fukuda, who likes working with kids, so he gets a job at a day care center. When he realizes there's a gap between his expectations and reality, he quits after 2 months. But Fukuda doesn't give up on his love of working with kids.
