BLEND-S GN (2025)

"High schooler Maika Sakuranomiya can't seem to land a part time job, so when an opportunity comes knocking, she is up for anything. Waitressing at a cute cafe-sounds perfect! The manager demands that each waitress adopt a quirk in their service? Not a problem. Maika's ready to act flirty, or hot-and-cold, or like a little sister, or...sadistic!? Oh. That might be a tough one for our cheery and caring heroine! The original manga behind the popular anime!"

Maika has gradually gotten used to playing her sadistic character at the cafe and is starting to enjoy her first part-time job to the fullest. How could she not, when it comes with perks like trips to the mountains and the beach! But however close she may have gotten with all her coworkers, Maika seem to be a bit slow in catching on that the manager might have ulterior motives for cozying up to his favorite new waitress!

It might be winter, but things in the cafe are getting hotter than ever! There's something in the air between Kaho and Akizuki, and Mafuyu is getting shockingly close with that customer who asked her out… Is the manager going to be left behind!? Not when he's making plans for an overnight night ski trip and a romantic confession to Maika on the slopes…

With Akizuki injured, Café Stile has gotten way short-staffed! Mafuyu-san’s friend, Ayato-san, steps in to lend a helping hand, but behind her cool exterior, Ayato’s got some quirks that are set to drive everyone up a wall... Meanwhile, the manager is working up the courage to ask Maika on a date—for real this time, we promise!
