will miss it....
this is so goooood remind me back in the day i was high school working at cafe and i met gf for the first time *now is an ex :(
but anyway please recomend me this type of romance :)
Like this series. They make a happy ending. All the happy ending characters has been told on ending song so it's clear. So far the cutest character is Hime. Good job guys who finished this anime.
But well, i still prefer the original one, this version has different vibes.
this series achieved both what blend S and hiromiya wanted to achieve with the latter two failed at.
it was a cute comedy, absurd but relatable characters, light-hearted slice of life, romance that is not mentally heavy, in a working environment, and nothing felt forced.
Already exceeded my expectations. Because it was the predecessor of Working!! I thought it'd be a lesser version of Working!! but not at all ... just like Working!! it has the same skill of lovable characters and great style of strong comedy.
And compared to Working!! it has a bigger cast of main characters with a lot of screen time I think. ... I wonder if it's going to have romance like Working!!

[Episode 8:]
The airhead Miyakoshi takes Valentine's opinion seriously, so she decides to become Higashi's girlfriend, as V said if they are both in love, her cooking will become good... Miyakoshi asks for Kisaki's advice. Higashi instead of explaining decides it is better to go out and prove to her that they're not compatible. ... And Nagata is always a idiot coward. They're first date ... a failure-of-nothing. 2 weeks and it's going horribly for Higashida. Then the oblivious Miyakoshi suggests Higashida nonchalatly to kiss.
As Miyakoshi asks Muranushi for advice who has no experience, suggests to go out with Adachi for experience, Adachi eavesdropping before she can say anything gasps "No way!" rejecting Muranushi again. But she continues giving her advice. Miyakoshi though suggests the same, that she works for what he wants. ... Unexpectedly though, Adachi confesses to her! That he likes her-relatively... Now she is rightfully upset.
... This Episode has honestly got me tired of Miyakoshi x Higashida & Muranushi x Adachi.
Worst Episode (only) so far.
[Episode 9:]
With a sick Muranushi at home, the restaurant is haunted. The cause of her sickness, Adachi, who's come to visit. Finally, Adachi, to solve his feelings and hers, they will start dating. ...and Yanagiba and Nagata as useless as ever.

I'm starting to like Saitou and Shiho's relationship more. The truth behind Yuuta's rejection. Because his loser dad doesn't deserve to be off debt.
Yuuta makes a plan to reveals Shiho's true feelings, then he meets his father again. He's closer.
[Episode 11:]
Muranushi is as retarded as ever along with Higashida who for whatever reason continues to date her for her to understand that they don't like each other at all. Continuing to her dumb behavior she decides to be safe at his house to not trouble anyone and eat a little piece of her deathly chocolate. ... St Valentine tells her what couples do, and out of worry to see if she's okay, he had to kiss her to taste her chocolate- is what she thinks but he actually had her leftover chocolate. She actually feels guilty over supposedly kinda forcing his first kiss.
... Now she wants to repay him somehow by wasting his time by dating uselessly, while he thinks she's going to stop giving him chocolate and give it to others. Finally she decides to take responsibility and actually love him- until he explains. ... And her mother misunderstands.
[Episode 11:]
Adachi as usual having his dumbass unclear odd issues, goes to her house alone, talk out (his problem of seeing Miyakoshi jumping Higashida) and randomly kisses her and runs off before he leaves.
Shiho/Yuuta; Usual Problem, Saitou brings Yuuta's father, and somehow it influences Shiho to disown herself to stay with Yuuta which I don't understand... Somehow she's deredere again and seriously confesses her love for him again. Fast paced. He hugs her and admits his love, kissing her forehead, and now they're dating. Wtf. So fast and easily. Somehow they're fine now and finally in love in a sorta flawed hesitant way from Yuuta because of the debt...
[Episode 12:]
Miyakoshi and Higashida's existence/relationship as dreadful as usual just like how the story/characters has become. Horrible character traits/plots.
As she's finally started taste-testing her own cooking to improve her skills she's been getting sick. Finally she understands what she's been putting people through from her horrible cooking and cries about it feeling guilty.
Valentine meets them one last time after her decent disgusting but not deathly, chocolate. Miyakoshi gives up cooking. Now out of nowhere Miyakoshi shows love interest in Higashi by asking what type of woman he likes. ... 6 months later.
... Fucking disappointingly, Nagata realized she never truly loved Higashida and gives up on him. Even though she never really did anything.
Miyakoshi has long hair from Higashida's interest. Shiho and Yuuta are properly dating. Yuuta is a full-time construction worker now. Gotta admit they're adorable now but they set ups were horrible. Doesn't change the fact how bad it is.
Adachi, mentally ready to marry her, tells Muranushi he will quit to take hold of his family's sushi restaurant and asks her to live with him. Her mother (psychic) says she's fine with them marrying. Muranushi accepts. They're also cute now but... fuck Adachi was annoying.
Miyakoshi's parents actually got back together when her house was disgusting from her cooking. And disastriously, extremely unexpected to me with how horribly this "couple" was set up, he breaks up with her after she's actually started having feelings for him, to then himself, actually asking her out seriously. Wtf... he says in the end he thought she was a pain in the ass, but she was interesting and that now he doesn't want anyone else with her. And with his dull expressionless personality too... Horrible new couple.
... From 9 or 8 out of 10 to 7 to 6 to finally a 4/10. I feel so dead in a way. Fucking dreadful experience in the end. It was funny, cute and interesting at first until the character traits were used in the way they were used to create very odd horribly set up plots to progress the relationships. And the climax of each couple finally being formed in the end so fast was horrible done. They don't exactly make sense.
...Adachi being a normal cook to a extremely disturbed individual with huge odd insecurity and issues of his feelings towards Muranushi with her mostly being frustrated from his unclear feelings. To then with no hint to the audience him finally accepting his feelings.
...Higashida being a very dull expressionless boring protagonist with a worse fucking obnoxious retarded girl like Miyakoshi with the boring character trait of horrible cooking to actually (unexpectedly) lead to them actually falling in love with each other. Miyakoshi randomly liking him now after Valentine made her realize what love is... and Higashida with less (no hint) like Adachi, just says in the end he started finding her interesting and out of nowhere doesn't want to see anybody else with her.
...Nagata like a dumb bitch as well just randomly quit on her love for him, never doing anything to instigate that love, to finally realize that she never truly liked him.
...As for Shiho, after Yuuta finally forcefully instigated, she fell in love with him again and stopped her abuse after they finally confessed and started dating. That was a weird set up for the conclusion as well. The other characters ... nothing much really.
Horrible anime. No wonder it didn't start before the great Working!! I don't think this will be successful.
I gave all previus season 7/10 but this one... I liked it much more. It was more funny and had more likable characters for me so this one gets 9/10. Even if it felt so rushed.
4kicks said: There's still things left unresolved;
- Kisaki's baby daddy is still a mystery
Good season overall. Yes the ending felt rush, but we have one.
So bad that we didn't have a proper story for Kounoko. He was left like the manager.
Even the manager has a past.
Just because he didn't get a gf he had no cam screen. But i guess in 13 episodes it's hard to put everyone.
Morpheus: The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work... when you go to church... when you pay your taxes.
It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.
Even for spin-off series it was good, at least an enjoyable one, nonetheless it would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it. Glad all the couple pairs end up with each other. 7/10 ~~love and peace~~
