A
friendship that flourishes between ramen and coffee shops
The story
follows Wada, a model and reserved student, and Yamamoto,
a rebellious fashionista with a modified uniform and dyed hair. Although they
seem completely different, every afternoon they meet at the food court to talk,
disconnect from the world and show themselves as they are. Between small talk
and unexpected sincerity, these two girls build a relationship that is as
unique as it is endearing.
The anime
is directed by Kazuomi Koga (Rent-A-Girlfriend, Kubo
Won't Let Me Be Invisible) under the Atelier Pontdarc studio.
The scripts are supervised by Jukki Hanada (Sound!
Euphonium, Love Live!), while Kyuta Sakai is
in charge of character design and animation direction.
The
soundtrack will be composed by Kana Utatane and the sound
direction will be in charge of Jin Aketagawa, known for his work
on Kaguya-sama: Love is War and Re:ZERO.
The opening
theme is called "Mikansei ni Matataite" (Blinking
Incompletely) and will be performed by the group Oisicle Melonpan.
A manga
with a slow but constant story
The
original manga debuted in March 2020 on the Comic Newtype site.
After a hiatus in January 2021, it resumed publication in September 2022. To
date, Kadokawa has released 23 chapters and two
compilation volumes, the latest of which is titled Food Court, Mata
Ashita. Season 2, released on March 31. The publisher Yen
Press publishes the work in English, bringing this warm and light
story closer to international audiences.
With only
six episodes confirmed, See You Tomorrow at the Food Court promises
to be a short but emotional series, ideal for those who enjoy the small moments
of life and the friendships that are born in the most everyday places.
