Blend S is a four-panel comic currently being serialized in Manga Time Kirara Carat. It began airing as an anime in the fall of 2017 and has been running for one season. The story revolves around the hectic lives of young boys and girls at the cafe Stile, which is similar to a maid cafe, where each girl serves customers while taking on different roles. In this article, we would like to introduce the charms of Hoshikawa Madoka, who plays the younger sister character.
Who is Hoshikawa Madoka anyway?

Age: 20, college student. Short brown hair. Physical characteristics: short height, small chest, childlike figure. The manager of the store liked her appearance and scouted her, but she was completely ignored, and then semi-forced to work at the store as a younger sister character. She started working at Stile as a part-timer after the opening staff members Akizuki and Kaho.
Mafuyu Hoshikawa is a legal loli! !

Mafuyu is 135cm tall, has small breasts and a baby face, so she doesn't look like an adult woman. Because of this, she can work as a legal loli, but according to her, she doesn't seem to be very happy about it, and is happy when a girl younger than her calls her big sister. However, when it comes to work, she serves customers with an attitude that is not usually seen as a little sister character, and the customers are pleased with her.
Hoshikawa Madou is good at makeup! !

Madou does not give the impression of being an adult woman due to her appearance, but as an adult, she has more feminine power and is more mature than high school students Ichigo and Kaho. One day, Kaho had bags under her eyes due to lack of sleep and was unable to appear in front of the audience in an unsightly state. Madou took out her makeup pouch and put makeup on Kaho. She is also good at makeup, and she even uses light makeup to match Ichigo and Kaho, who have naturally good looks. Madou's femininity, which is contrary to her appearance, is one of her charms.
Hoshikawa Madou loves kids' anime! ?

Mafuyu's hobby is that she likes kids' anime. Of course, she never misses watching the kids' anime that is broadcast every Sunday morning, and it seems that she has a complete collection of kids' anime goods. She is so thorough that she even turns down her friends' invitations in order to watch kids' anime. I don't know if she likes it because she is a toddler, but I think it is a hobby that suits Mafuyu. She also likes stuffed animals, and was very happy when Kaho gave her a stuffed animal that she won from a crane game.
Mafuyu Hoshikawa loves cosplay!!

Mafuyu loves kids' anime, and has collected almost all of the role-playing goods from kids' anime. Of course, she has also purchased cosplay costumes from kids' anime, but she doesn't wear them herself because she thinks they don't suit her. However, Ichigoka, with her long black hair, resembles a character in a kids' anime that she watches, so she makes Ichigoka wear it. Madoka is so excited at the time that she's taking pictures, which is something we don't usually see, and it's so cute!!
Hoshikawa Madou is a reliable older sister! ?

When in work mode, she plays a younger sister character, with a childish and cheerful personality, calling customers "big brother" in a sweet voice, and playing the role of a flirtatious younger sister, but normally Madou is very cool, expressionless, and quiet. However, that doesn't mean she has no interest in people, and she looks after the younger Ichigo and Kaho with a mature attitude. When Kaho is having trouble with her studies or Ichigo is worried, she is sympathetic and thinks about them, and gets angry when they do something wrong. Contrary to her young appearance, she is a reliable older sister.
Hoshikawa Madoka is strict with the store manager!!

The manager of Stile is a little naive and has some gaps, so he is always getting scolded by Mafuyu and Akizuki. Mafuyu in particular is very strict with the manager, and often raises her hand at the manager who doesn't understand what she is saying. Since the store manager is also an incorrigible person, it seems that such exchanges continue every day.
Is Hoshikawa Madoka really the sadist?

Usually cool and expressionless, Mafuyu has a hidden sadistic side. Madou is especially strict with the manager, trampling him with her foot and pinching him when he calls her a loli-baba, showing her sadistic side that rivals the sadistic Ichigoka. (Ichigoka isn't really sadistic though.) The contrast between her appearance and her violent side is part of Madou's charm.
The reason Hoshikawa Madou doesn't have a boyfriend is cool!!

Mafuyu is very popular with men. Of course, her appearance has a big influence on her popularity. Even while working at Stile, many men talk to her and give her their contact information, but she shows no signs of getting a boyfriend. The reason for this is that when she was in junior high school, she was dating a high school student and was walking hand in hand with him when a police officer mistook them for a high school student who was about to take an elementary school student home, and the two broke up within half a day. She also doesn't have boyfriends because it takes away her free time, and she can't relax and watch kids' anime because of dates and such. Stoic Madoka is so cool!!
Hoshikawa Madou is good at snowboarding

When the Stile staff went on a ski trip, Ichigo, Kaho, and Akizuki were beginners, while the manager and Madou were experienced snowboarders and their skills were top-notch. The tall blonde manager looks very cool on his snowboard, but in a different sense, Madou, who has the body of a child, snowboards gracefully, which creates a contrast that makes him cool. Seeing this, Kaho and Akizuki leave the manager alone and try to get Madou to teach them.

The voice actress who plays the voice of Hoshikawa Madou (pictured right) is Haruno Anzu. Her most well-known role is Clean Freak Boy! Aoyama-kun (Goto Moka) and Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san (Shigaraki Koyuzu). She has not yet appeared in many anime, but we hope to see her continue to do well.
