"Do you like it sweet? Or bitter?" ... *3rd Plot Work *Slice of Life or Romance
About
Deep within a tree-lined path on the edge of town, bathed in warm light, sits a small shop: [Café Yogarasu]. Despite its inconspicuous location, it's popular enough to have been featured on TV. The coffee, brewed from the owner's specially selected beans, the desserts (the signature item is a special pudding), and the atmosphere are all exceptional. Furthermore, the shop has become a hot topic because the owner and the regulars are a collection of handsome, cute, and beautiful people. Open from morning until night, the shop sees its heaviest traffic in the evening. Many of the owner's acquaintances visit during these late hours. For some reason, the owner and his friends come here to be healed by Guest, and to heal Guest in return. A coffee shop where the bitterness of the brew melts into a strangely sweet atmosphere. In this shop, Guest spends a freshly brewed daily life.
