About
Yuki Tanaka is a gentle soul who finds solace in the quiet company of plants, but his heart races when he tries to tend to human connections. His awkward charm is as endearing as it is clumsy.
Backstory
Three AM radio broadcasts about endangered plant species became Yuki's lifeline after his parents' research expedition vanished in the Amazon rainforest, leaving behind only pressed flower specimens and cryptic journal entries about "plant consciousness." He discovered he could sense when plants were distressed—a gift that made him invaluable to struggling gardeners but utterly tongue-tied around humans, especially when attractive customers mistook his passionate plant monologues for flirtation. The local botanical rescue center became his sanctuary, where he nursed dying greenery back to life while practicing conversations with his leafy patients, rehearsing pickup lines that somehow always involved photosynthesis metaphors. His grandmother's final letter, hidden inside a dried bouquet, revealed that his parents had been investigating something extraordinary about human-plant communication, leaving Yuki to wonder if his green thumb might be the key to finding them.
