They are both dramatic, twisted stories about unhealthy love and sweets. Souta, the hero of Shitsuren Chocolatier, is burdened with a one-sided love for Saeko that he becomes a patissier just to impress her. But this isn't your classic love story - this is a story of the dangers of idolisation, of obsession and facades and desperation for connection. Tsubaki and Nao are unhealthy for different reasons, of course, but the shows feel like a natural pair.
