Synopsis
Described
as a "somewhat sexy manga café comedy," the story follows Meiko
Morita, who moves from the countryside to Tokyo to attend an elite academy.
In exchange for free tuition for volunteer work, she begins living and working
at Hedgehog, a manga café that doubles as a female dormitory. There
she will meet unique characters such as Rie Amamiya (a yuri and
BL-loving heiress), Marika Suzuki (a popular streamer),
and Neo Nakano (a professional gamer).
About
the work
Kumako Hisama's original manga began regular serialization in Houbunsha's Manga Time Kirara magazine in December 2018. The play combines elements of life accounts with touches of ecchi comedy.
