This anime aired from October 2017 to December 2017. The protagonist, Sakuranomiya Ichigoka, dreams of going abroad and is preparing to study abroad. She interviews for part-time jobs, but her bad eyes cause her to repeatedly fail. One day, she ends up working at a cafe. The cafe turns out to be a place where customers are treated like "characters"!?
Protagonist: Sakuranomiya Ichigoka
Apart from her eyes, she's the perfect young lady!?
She has a serious, polite, and gentle personality. She has beautiful, long, straight black hair.
However, because her hair is thin and prone to static electricity, she always keeps it tied up.
She comes from a well-off family and lives in a Japanese-style home, but according to her, she grew tired of Japan at the age of five. After accidentally seeing a foreigner, she developed a strong desire to go abroad.
A nasty look in his eyes and his way of speaking make him a sadist!?
You're back again? Please sit quietly and somewhere out of the way.
He's not good at socializing, and although he's unaware of it, the harder he tries, the more he glares at people, and the more he makes sadistic remarks that make them tremble.
However, this has earned him high praise from customers, and many of them even come to be insulted. As a result, it seems that he's unintentionally providing satisfactory customer service.
Her true form...
Because of her true kind nature, she apologizes wholeheartedly after her first sadistic customer service encounter. She doesn't believe she has the talent to play a sadistic character, and she works tirelessly to improve her sales skills every day. She also has no otaku knowledge, doesn't understand the benefits of these traits, and has no romantic experience whatsoever.
Kaho Hinata
Energetic Gamer
She has blonde twintails and is large in every part of her body, including her breasts. Her hobby is gaming, and she is well-versed in various genres. However, when she dances at an arcade, customers gather around, mainly for her breasts, and it often turns into a concert-like atmosphere.
Everyone's Favorite Classic Tsundere
I wasn't really waiting, but there's an empty seat, so why don't you sit down?
She skillfully uses both tsun and dere while serving customers, earning them rave reviews.
However, she has a weakness: when customers talk about games, she can't help but listen intently.
She's also a member of the opening staff, and acts as a smooth lubricant for the team.
Her true form is...
Her true personality is very honest, and she studies Akizuki's tsundere personality to improve her customer service skills. However, she often fails her schoolwork due to playing too many games...
In reality, she has few friends and often runs out of money because she wastes money on games.
Mafuyu Hoshikawa
Gap Moe!?
She has short, brown hair, a short stature, and a small bust, with the body of a child. However, she is a university student and an adult.
Contrary to her appearance, she always maintains a blank expression. She speaks little and has a quiet personality.
Using her greatest weapon, the appearance, she's fully revealing her little sister character!?
Yay! Welcome back, big brother!
When it comes to work, she transforms into a completely different person.
She has a cheerful and bright personality, and uses her appearance, which is her strength, to call customers "big brother."
She also has excellent customer service skills and is well-received by customers.
But she's actually a reliable older sister...!?
She's a dependable presence among the members, thanks to her dexterity in making small items and her intelligence in helping Kaho with her studies.
She's also the only one who can talk back to the store manager, Dino.
She has a real-life younger brother, and enjoys being called "big sister" by children.
Amano Miu
A slightly unusual older sister...?!
She usually wears glasses and has a gentle appearance, but she's surprisingly easygoing. However, perhaps due to her job, she has a tendency to become delusional, and she often behaves strangely and causes trouble for those around her...
A provocative older sister character!?
Welcome. Please take any available seat! I'll be there right away!
When serving customers, she removes her glasses and replaces them with contact lenses. She speaks in a mature manner, but she often gets out of control, such as when she lewdly eats a banana in front of two male customers...
She often makes dangerous remarks, and Akizuki always has to step in to stop her.
Her true form is...
She's the only one among the customer service staff who remains completely normal and continues to serve customers as usual.
However, she's also a doujinshi artist, and to keep herself from running out of material, she's recently been writing about the delicate relationship between Ichigo and Dino.
Hideri Kanzaki
A beautiful girl aspiring to be an idol!?
She uses "boku" ("Idol") as her first-person pronoun and is confident in her cuteness, posting many selfies on social media. Her dream is to become an idol, so she started working to make the world aware of her cuteness. However, her personality is uncharacteristic of an idol: she's bold and not even afraid of cockroaches.
THE! Idol Customer Service!?
Thank you for coming to see Hiderin today!
She's the only one who's a hard worker, doing whatever it takes to become an idol, from customizing her uniform to impressing customers while serving them.
Her customer service skills are surprisingly popular!
Her true form is...
Her true form is a "man." She was offered the family farm, but refused, as she had dreams of becoming an idol. When she reverts to her true self, her language often becomes rude...
She didn't mind being used as material by Miu in her doujinshi, but when she heard that she was a "belly punch type," she instinctively ran away.
Dino
The Popular Manager!?
Originally from Italy, Dino is the owner and manager of Stile (the restaurant's name).
He's very adept at dealing with women, but he can't behave normally around Ichigoka.
He's in charge of the kitchen, but he's rarely seen taking his job seriously.
Her true form is...
Ma-Ichigo-san...
I'm a hardcore otaku who loves anime girls and figures. As a result, he often stays up late watching late-night anime and ends up dozing off at work, much to Madoka's annoyance...
Relationship with Ichigoka
He fell in love with Ichigoka at first sight, and depending on her words and actions, he gets carried away. He also gets so excited when she rests her head on his lap that he gets nosebleeds. However, he becomes extremely depressed when she gets angry with him.
However, since getting a dog (named Owner), they have recently maintained a good relationship, even going on walks together.
Akizuki Momiji
Kitchen Staff Member Who Plays the Straight Man
She is in charge of the kitchen and is one of the opening staff members. She loves video games.
She is the only straight man and brakes character among the other characters, who all have strong personalities.
His hair is grass-green and his eyes are white.
The Hardest Worker
Hey, if you have time to be jealous of a dog, help me get ready
He struggles because Dino, who works in the same kitchen, slacks off.
He also acts as a brake on Miu, who often makes risky remarks.
He is working to obtain his chef's license.
His true form is...
He's a real tsundere and a loser. His classmate Kaho, a fellow gamer, is somewhat concerned about him.
However, his lack of patience when it comes to relationships with women means that they rarely progress.
He also loves yuri and respects Miu as a writer.
Summary
This story, woven together by each character's "natural attributes" and "manufactured attributes," is enjoyable for everyone. Watching it when you're feeling down will soothe you! This is one of my recommended anime!
