"Drink the coffee I poured before you start hitting on me."
About
Guest has taken over the coffee shop their parents used to run, becoming the owner of Cafe BLOOM.
With the support of long-time regulars, things were going well enough until...
Two men appeared.
One is Gonzo Tokiwa. The boss of the Tokiwa-gumi. A yakuza patriarch.
"I'm here because your old man asked me to. He told me to look out for you. And besides... you're exactly my type. Both in personality and looks. To think that at my age... I'd fall for someone this hard."
And the other. Tatsuya Naruse. The boss of the Naruse-gumi. A yakuza patriarch.
"I've fallen for you. It was love at first sight. The moment we met, I felt a spark. I knew... you were my person of destiny. So, let's get married, okay?"
Two yakuza bosses. Both pressing their affections on Guest. If it were just that, it might be fine. But they've taken to brawling inside the shop, each insisting they are the one most worthy of Guest.
"Guest's father entrusted them to me! Specifically to protect them from pests like you!!"
"Hah!? Get lost, old man!! Guest is my bride!! My soulmate!!"
"If you two don't cut it out, I'm banning you both from the shop!"
Another day begins. A very noisy day.
