In the Spring 2023 anime Megami no Cafe Terrace, the protagonist returns home after hearing the news of his grandmother's death, only to discover five beautiful women claiming to be employees of her grandmother's home and cafe! This slapstick romantic comedy follows the protagonist as he lives with the five beauties and rebuilds the cafe. The heroines are all cute and charming characters. Today, we'd like to introduce the five heroines!
First Heroine: Ono Shiragiku
The heroine is a college student with a bob haircut and a modest personality. When she begins living with the protagonist, Hayato, she is more friendly and understanding than the other heroines. In fact, she is the only heroine Hayato met as a child and was familiar with, but it took him a while to remember that.
She's a Good Cook!
She's a talented cook, and her father was a chef at a famous Spanish restaurant. Hayato's grandmother was actually a talented chef, and Shiragiku's father was her apprentice. She worked at a coffee shop to learn cooking from her grandmother. After her death, Hayato took over the cafe, coming up with new menu items and working as a cook.
A Hidden Super-Lewd Heroine?
Although she appears pure and has a serious personality, she has a high tolerance for alcohol, to the point where even the alcohol in wet wipes can make her drunk. Furthermore, she has a terrible drinking habit, and the moment she gets drunk, she starts undressing, gets all over Hayato, and sniffs him, transforming into a lewd character with a smell fetish. She appears to have no memory of what happens after waking up.
Second Heroine: Tsukishima Ryusei
A college student. The oldest of the heroines. She's reliable but a bit devious. When they first met, she even tried to seduce Ouka and Shiragiku into submission with her charms. While she's a heroine who will do anything to get them to do what she wants, her desire to protect the store is unmatched.
Very sociable!
He's actually a very sociable person, and he's a master at smiling and acting like a completely different person when he's with customers and business partners. He even lectures Hayato, telling him that as a store manager, he needs to bow and smile before customers and business partners or else there's no point in talking to him.
Former Child Prodigy
He was originally a child prodigy, and it was there that he developed his sociability and social etiquette. However, his popularity has now waned, and he has completely fallen into disrepute. His family background was complicated. His mother entrusted his dream of becoming an actor to his son, but when her father and he clashed over educational principles, they divorced. As his mother's popularity waned, she became addicted to alcohol and began to neglect her child. His father always cared about Ryusei, but was forced to make a no-contact agreement at the time of their divorce, preventing him from getting close to him.
Third Heroine: Houo-ji Temple, Momiji
She's a part-time worker. In addition to her work, she's also the vocalist and guitarist of a girl band, and seems to have achieved a certain level of popularity. She has a cool, listless personality and can be strict, but she's actually quite timid and becomes timid when she's in a scary situation. She often teases Hayato, but she also has a weak side when teased.
She's good at making coffee!
She learned how to brew coffee from her grandmother and is the best at it in the cafe. As a result, Hayato learns how to brew coffee from her. In the process, despite her rudeness, she eventually comes to accept Hayato, who bows to her in the end, and she realizes her feelings for him early on.
A Lady of a Distinguished Family
In fact, Momiji is the daughter of a distinguished family, and her family wants her to quit her part-time job, join a company, marry her arranged fiance, and give birth to an heir. Her mother and grandmother are very strict, to the point that she shrinks away when confronted, but they're not inflexible; they're simply worried about their daughter. Encouraged by Hayato, Momiji tells them what she wants to do, and is finally able to stay at the cafe. It seems her mother knew exactly what she liked about Hayato.
Fourth Heroine: Atsukawa Shusui
A high school student. She's cheerful and innocent, excelling in sports. She's a skilled karate practitioner, having competed in national championships and demonstrating enough strength to easily defeat three thugs. While she has a cheerful and innocent personality, she often acts without thinking about the consequences and has a mischievous side that makes her a bit of a troublemaker.
Comedy!
She owns a lot of strange masks and makes weird faces in all kinds of situations. She also loves fighting games and shonen manga, and often resorts to parody material. Overall, she's a comedic heroine. Sometimes she gets too carried away and destroys Hayato's personal belongings. When that happens, she'll laugh out loud and try to seduce him by seducing him with her breasts, but she often ends up punishing him instead. When she really gets mad, she even ends up groping his breasts.
The Fifth Heroine: Makuzawa Ouka
A fashion school student. Perhaps due to their strong personalities, she and Hayato initially clashed frequently. Her poor cooking skills, stubbornness, and selfishness make her an average employee, but she has excellent design and fashion sense, and she designed the Familia uniforms. Hayato complimented her on the uniform design, which led to her becoming closer to him.
Do they have a bad relationship?
Like Hayato, her father and sister were both accepted into Tokyo University, making her an elite family. However, she betrayed her parents' expectations by pursuing a career as a fashion designer, which created a rift between her and her family. Her younger sister, Tachibana, a current student at Tokyo University, is even more assertive than her older sister. Although they had a long history of fighting, her true love for her sister led to her harsh attitude, which was actually a sign of concern for her.
[Megami no Cafeteria] Summary of the Five Heroines
Here's a summary of the five heroines from Megami no Cafeteria! While each character is fascinating, it's clear in the original manga that Makuzawa will marry one of the five.
