Fermat's Cuisine

After failing the Mathematics Olympiad and giving up on his dream of becoming a mathematician, Gaku Kitada meets Kai Asakura, a young culinary genius, thanks to a plate of Neapolitan spaghetti he prepared in the school cafeteria. It is then that a shocking piece of news turns his life upside down

After impressing the patrons of the Wels Academy with his mathematically conceived Neapolitan spaghetti, Gaku is invited by Kai to visit him at his restaurant in Tokyo. There, he is put to the test by Chef Ranna Akamatsu

Against all odds, Gaku reunites with Kagura Musashi, one of his rivals from the Mathematics Olympiad. She looks at him with disdain upon realizing he has turned his back on his calling, but Gaku then decides to present her with a dish crafted through a mathematical approach

Gaku finally moves up to the capital and starts living in a shared apartment with Kai. Without wasting any time, Kai sets him a challenge, within one week, he must be able to create a dish that will win over all the members of Restaurant K's brigade

A very difficult week awaits Gaku. He must present the team at Restaurant K with a dish that will win the unanimous approval of the staff. If he fails, he will have to give up working with Kai and return home. For his first attempt, he chooses nikujaga, a Japanese beef and potato stew

Thanks to his world-class nikujaga, Gaku is fully accepted as part of the staff at Restaurant K, though he is still not allowed to serve customers. But things are about to change, as fate gives him the chance to meet again with Ichitarō Hirose, the genius who once drove him to abandon his career in mathematics
