Café Stile, as it turns out, is the kind of coffee shop wherein the workers take on specific characteristics like an adorable little sister, a hot and cold tsundere, and a cruel sadist while interacting with customers. It's a kind of atmosphere that can be likened to butler and maid cafés, except that the customers go there primarily for the food and the drink, and interacting with the servers and their fictional characters only come as an added bonus.
But despite the menacing look in her eyes, Maika does not have a sadistic bone in her body and has been seen struggling with her new job in the premiere episode. Will she be able to keep up with her role, eventually grow into it, and tell the café's customers off in a more natural way?
Café Stile also has a motley of other characters that Maika will be interacting with on a daily basis. What kind of friendships will these characters eventually form and how will this bond help them keep their café going despite any challenges that may come their way?
