Our reporter’s bachelor days come to a close as he picks a meaningful day to tie the knot.
Find Seiji a Girlfriend Project
After getting love-dovey Valentine’s Day chocolate for the first time in his life, Seiji steps into the SoraKitchen to make cookies that require no butter or liquid.
Our often-single reporter gets a startling surprise from his girlfriend, and eats something he’s never had before.
Seiji’s greatest fear: Having his girlfriend’s mom ask “What do you do for a living?” when the answer is “I work for SoraNews24.”
This is it. Two years after the start of the project, SoraNews24’s most consistent bachelor takes one last shot at romance as he meets Mimi.
Seiji’s already-disarming looks get an SD manga makeover in this bittersweet episode from his less-than-active love life.
