Seaside Cafe is hardly what comes to mind when one thinks of a maid cafe. Hastily rebranded to jump in on the maid trend, Seaside Cafe carries no tea, offers very little in the way of service, and only gets customers from the local shopping district. Despite the cafe's humble offerings, this is where Hotori Arashiyama chooses to secretly work after school. Balancing high school, work, family, and a love life can be difficult, and Hotori manages to stumble through without the slightest bit of grace. With the help of her friends and family, she tries to navigate her way through the wild world of adolescence where barely anything normal occurs. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Verified RatingI really love the Hotori and Sanada moments. This girl honestly doesn't realize that Sanada is completely crazy about her; let's just say Hotori lives in her own little world.
I liked that we got to see something more than just her clumsiness this time, showing that she’s a great older sister to Takeru. Takeru is a pretty interesting character too, and I’d love to see him get more spotlight.
Verified RatingThose close to Hotori have an incredibly huge amount of patience with her, especially Tatsuno, who showed she's much more mature than Hotori—though that's not exactly hard, since sometimes they really make her character out to be borderline unbearable.
Poor Sanada 😭😭, his secret was exposed! I actually really liked that part.
Verified RatingHotori takes a backseat in this episode, but surprisingly, it’s her little brother Takeru who steals the spotlight here. Oh, little Takeru, you still have so much to learn about women.
It’s a pretty lighthearted episode. I love it when they blend the café storyline with school and show what Hotori’s family life is like.
