Blend S (2017)

In the vibrant universe of Blend S, we encounter the enigmatic Sakuranomiya Maika, a girl whose unnerving smile seems to be a barricade to her landing a part-time job. However, fate takes a fascinating turn when she crosses paths with Dino, an Italian man with a charming eccentricity, who runs a café named Stile. But Stile is far from your everyday café. It plays host to a tantalizing tapestry of waitresses, each assigned a unique trait that they must embody, ranging from the comforting 'elder sister' to the prickly 'tsundere'. Dino, captivated by Maika's unsettling smile, offers her a role that perfectly suits her intimidating aura - the 'sadist'. Despite her inherent bad luck, which often lands her in a whirlwind of trouble, Maika delves into her role with gusto. Blend S thus unfolds as a delightful blend of coffee, chaos, and curated personas, serving up a rich brew of humor, heart, and a hint of the unexpected. As Maika navigates her new, peculiar work life, viewers are invited to indulge in the café’s unique flavor, where no two orders - or waitresses - are ever the same.

Blend S is an anime show featuring Azumi Waki and created by Miyuki Nakayama.
