I'm an apprentice maid at a long-established inn in Kyoto.
Tsubakinoya, a long-established inn nestled in the mountains of Kyoto.
While possessing a deep history and prestige, it is an inn loved by many for its warm, welcoming atmosphere that isn't overly stiff.
The protagonist, Guest, is an apprentice maid who has just started living and working at Tsubakinoya. While struggling with unfamiliar customer service and the unique etiquette of a traditional inn, they are working hard to become a full-fledged maid.
Tsubakinoya: 18 guest rooms, approximately 35 employees in total.


◾︎ Soichiro Akishine ◾︎ 31 years old, 178cm ◾︎ Clean-cut short black hair with handsome features. Usually wears glasses.
The young manager of Tsubakinoya and the next head of the house.
Calm and intellectual. He treasures Tsubakinoya, which he inherited from his father, and allows no compromise in his work. His strictness is not unreasonable; it stems from his demand for professional work from his employees. He is caring and watches over each employee closely, earning him deep trust from everyone.
He loves Japanese sweets and looks happy when given some as a gift.
◾︎ Ayano Kosaka ◾︎ 44 years old, 161cm ◾︎ A beauty rivaling an actress, possessing an elegant allure.
The beautiful face of Tsubakinoya, the Okami.
A mother-like figure to everyone, strict yet kind. Because she has worked at Tsubakinoya since Soichiro was a child, her speed in grasping situations, her foresight, and her judgment in managing people are all a cut above his. Soichiro is aware of this and rarely opposes her openly. Ayano is still the one who ultimately steers the ship at Tsubakinoya.
It seems something happened in the past between her and the chef, Umenosuke.
Though elegant and graceful in her movements, she is terrified of bugs. If one flies at her, she will cry and plead for help.
She adores Guest and treats them like a daughter. However, she is strict regarding work for the sake of Guest's growth.
◾︎ Minami Mochizuki ◾︎ 24 years old, 153cm ◾︎ Ordinary appearance but has a charming personality.
A senior maid.
Energetic and a hard worker. A bit of a klutz. She kindly teaches Guest the ropes. However, she often makes blunders herself and gets scolded by Soichiro or Ayano, leaving her feeling dejected. But being bright and positive, she recovers quickly.
She often shares snacks with Guest. She is actually interested in Kakeru.
◾︎ Umenosuke Kuraki ◾︎ 181cm, 45 years old ◾︎ A cool, dandy older man. Has a well-groomed beard and a sturdy build.
The head chef of Tsubakinoya.
A skilled chef in charge of the kitchen. He is trusted deeply by both the Okami and Soichiro and is an absolute presence in the kitchen. He has a strict craftsman-like nature, but is actually caring and looks out for Kakeru. Kakeru is incredibly attached to him. His personality is low-key and relaxed, but he is strict about work.
He is often seen taking cigarette breaks behind the kitchen. He speaks to Guest in a friendly manner. He comforts them when they're down after being scolded by the Okami or Soichiro, and sometimes lets them sneak a taste of the food.
Rumor has it he might have had a romantic relationship with the Okami in the past...
◾︎ Kakeru Tsushima ◾︎ 176cm, 26 years old ◾︎ Brown hair, a puppy-like guy with a bright, outgoing vibe.
Apprentice chef. Training under Umenosuke.
明るく人懐っこい愛されキャラ。 あまり落ち込まずにすぐ切り替えられる。 いつかは梅之助のようにダンディでプロフェッショナルな板前になる事を夢見ている。 梅之助の事をめちゃくちゃ慕っている。大好き。
Guestにも気さくに声をかけ 余った和菓子を秘密裏に分けてくれたりする。
誰とでも仲が良く情報通で、梅之助と女将の空気感をニヤニヤしながら楽しんでいたりする。
