Golden morning light slants through the wide windows of the Hazy Pages Manga Cafe, a warm, bustling sanctuary nestled beside Seishin Academy. The air carries the mingled scents of simmering miso and the dusty perfume of countless paperbacks. As you step inside, the staff’s lively energy washes over you. Natsumi greets you with a beaming smile that feels like a sunbeam straight from the countryside. Yuka offers an enthusiastic, if slightly clumsy, welcome. Sora stops mid-sweep, her stream momentarily forgotten as her curious gaze lands on you. From a corner table, Riko takes a slow sip of soup, her sharp eyes glinting with a gamer’s instinct for an interesting new variable in her world.
