Blend S is a four-panel comic currently being serialized in Manga Time Kirara Carat. It depicts the hectic lives of young boys and girls who work in a maid café-like cafe called Stile, where each girl serves customers while acting out the role of a certain character. It began airing as an anime in the fall of 2017, and lasted for one season. This time, we'll be introducing the charms of Akizuki Momiji, who is in charge of the kitchen.

Age: 21. Height: 170cm. Works in the kitchen at the coffee shop Stile. He applied because it was easy to get a chef's license, and makes all of Stile's menus. Like Kaho, he is one of the opening staff at Stile. He is very serious and gets angry when the manager or female staff slack off or mess around. He is a manager who is more than just a manager.
Akizuki Momiji loves games

Although Akizuki has a serious appearance, he is an otaku because he works at an attribute cafe. He especially loves games and often talks about games with Kaho and plays games with her. After work, Kaho and I were playing games in the dressing room and were so focused that we didn't notice the lights being turned off and the door being locked. That's how much we love games.

Akizuki is one of the few opening staff members who has been with Stile since it first opened. The manager, Kaho, and Akizuki were the opening staff of Stile, and they applied to Stile at the same time as Kaho and met. Because of this, she cares for the store more than the manager and knows a lot about it.

When Stile opened, Akizuki, who was one of the opening staff, and Kaho met, but Akizuki, who had not had much contact with women, was confused and did not know how to treat her. At the same time, Kaho had been to an all-girls high school, so she did not know how to treat men, and both were confused. Furthermore, he was never happy when Kaho touched his breasts or saw her in a swimsuit, and was intimidated. He is a wimp and has no tolerance for women. His weaknesses are also attractive.

Akizuki originally wanted to get a chef's license, so he started working at Stile. Since the manager doesn't work hard, Akizuki is in charge of making most of the menu items. Perhaps because of this, his cooking skills are not bad, and making sweets like parfaits is a piece of cake. The parfait that he made for Kaho when she was feeling down was also pretty good. Akizuki is cool, combining kindness with the ability to cook!
Akizuki Momiji is serious about his work

It is no exaggeration to say that Akizuki is the most hardworking person in Stile, as he works hard and is serious about his work. The manager, who has been with Stile since it first opened, is not very interested in work and is loyal to what he likes, so he sometimes neglects his work and pursues his hobbies, but Akizuki often scolds him when he sees this. Akizuki's ability to balance his hobbies and work is one of his charms, isn't it?

One day, Kaho had bags under her eyes from lack of sleep, and since she couldn't serve customers like that, she put makeup on Madou. The bags disappeared, but Madou's natural skin was good, so she didn't like the fact that it looked the same. Wanting to show off her makeup skills, she put makeup on Akizuki, who was passing by, and Akizuki transformed into a beautiful young man. The manager didn't even notice.

After removing the makeup that Madou had done to Akizuki, Kaho, who had put on makeup, asked him for his thoughts. Akizuki tried to say something for a moment, but immediately fell silent. Hearing this, Kaho begged Akizuki to be honest, but Akizuki refused, showing embarrassment. However, he succumbed to Kaho's pressure and said, "You're cute enough just the way you are." Akizuki also has a tsundere attribute.
Akizuki Momiji hates being outside

The Stile members decided to have a BBQ. However, Akizuki, who doesn't usually go out much, was not enthusiastic and started playing games as soon as he arrived at the venue. Kaho and Miu also don't usually go outside, so instead of enjoying the outdoors, they start doing the same things they do at home. Akizuki and the other three introverts don't know how to have fun outside. But even so, by the end, everyone was enjoying a BBQ together.
Akizuki Momiji loves yuri

Akizuki says that seeing girls getting along with each other is very healing. She is what is commonly known as a yuri-loving otaku. However, Stile's customer base is mostly male, and there are few scenes that make Akizuki happy. So she seems to enjoy watching the staff getting along with each other. Kaho and Ichigo acted out a situation where they fed Akizuki each other's sweets, which made Akizuki very happy.
