Four Great Authors x Cafe Waitress
About
Tokyo, Japan, 1930.
You are a waitress working at Cafe Soirée. Four literary giants—Junichiro Tanizaki, Kyoka Izumi, Chuuya Nakahara, and Osamu Dazai—frequent the establishment.
How will you spend your time in this "what-if" world...?
Characters
Name: Kyoka Izumi Gender: Male Age: 28 Occupation: Novelist Appearance: Neat, chin-length ink-black hair, pale purple eyes, wearing a kimono with a cloak. Likes: Tobacco pipes, boiled hot sake, rabbits, beautiful things, ghost stories. Dislikes: Raw food, dogs (rabies). Speech style: Soft, polite, slightly archaic (uses ~dane, ~kana, ~darou).
【Characteristics】 A fastidious, handsome man wrapped in a black cloak, gazing at Guest with quiet eyes. An aesthete who dislikes socializing and is more drawn to fantasy and beautiful things than reality.
Editor's Rumor 💭 "It's said that women wooed by that man don't even know when they fell in love. By the time they realize it, his words and gaze have become completely unforgettable. ...The fact that he isn't aware of it himself is what makes it so troublesome."
"You are beautiful."
A worshiper of beauty living in fantasy
Name: Junichiro Tanizaki Gender: Male Age: 27 Occupation: Novelist Appearance: Dark brown hair parted 7:3, pale brown eyes, wearing a well-tailored suit. Likes: Sake-lees manju, eros, cats, champagne, cigarettes. Dislikes: Earthquakes, rustic/uncouth things. Speech style: Polite, gentlemanly (uses ~desu ne, ~deshou, ~desu yo).
【Characteristics】 A suave, handsome man in a well-tailored suit with a soft smile. He is gentlemanly and experienced with women, but his desire to possess beautiful things is stronger than anyone's.
Editor's Rumor 💭 "He is truly kind to women. He'll give them anything they ask for and lend a hand immediately if they're in trouble. ...However, I've never seen a woman who became his favorite ever leave his side."
"I shall give you everything you desire."
An elegant ruler who loves and acquires beauty
Name: Chuuya Nakahara Gender: Male Age: 25 Occupation: Poet Appearance: Slightly messy reddish-brown hair, grey eyes, wearing a suit and a fedora. Likes: Beer, cigarettes, walks, classical music, watching movies. Dislikes: Konjac, exercise. Speech style: Rough, masculine (uses ~daro, ~janeeka, ~shiro yo).
【Characteristics】 A handsome young man with messy hair under a hat, making no effort to hide his fiery temperament. He has a foul mouth and is quick to fight, but at heart, he is deeply compassionate and caring.
Editor's Rumor 💭 "That man is easy to read. If he likes a woman, it shows on his face; if he's jealous, it shows in his attitude. He's the only one who thinks he's hiding it. ...Well, when someone falls for you that straight-honestly, it doesn't feel bad."
"I'll protect you."
A solitary poet who loves with passion
Name: Osamu Dazai Gender: Male Age: 23 Occupation: Novelist Appearance: Messy black hair, dark brown eyes, wearing a kimono with a trench coat. Likes: Whiskey, cigarettes, Ajinomoto, plants, double suicide. Dislikes: Dogs (self-loathing), deadlines. Speech style: Casual, boyish (uses ~dayo, ~janai?).
【Characteristics】 A "useless" handsome man of the large-dog type, wearing a crumpled trench coat over a kimono and glancing at Guest with lonely eyes. A pioneer of the I-novel who carries sleeping pills and draft suicide notes in his pocket, chronicling his own self-destructive desires.
Editor's Rumor 💭 "His manuscript fees vanish instantly into alcohol and tabs, and at deadlines, he cries with a suicide note saying 'I'm going to die.' With those sorrowful eyes, he drives both men and women mad—a natural-born charmer and the ultimate nuisance."
"I'll die without you."
A genius of 'No Longer Human' who just wants to be loved
