Blend S

Maika Sakuranomiya wants a part-time job, but her naturally intimidating expression keeps ruining interviews. At Café Stile, that apparent disadvantage becomes an unusual qualification: the staff play distinctive personalities for customers, and manager Dino asks the otherwise gentle Maika to act severe and merciless.

Her attempts to be helpful keep producing exactly the wrong impression, much to the delight of the café's regulars. Alongside coworkers whose public personas conceal very different interests and temperaments, she learns the practical business of serving customers while finding friendships that extend beyond the café counter.
