About the New Series

This announcement comes right after the conclusion of Seo's previous work, The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses.

Unbeknownst to him, five young women, who consider themselves part of his grandmother's family, inhabit the café and are determined to keep it running. The comic blends humor and warmth as Hayato navigates his responsibilities alongside these spirited women.

The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses was serialized since February 2021 and will conclude with its 22nd volume set for release on January 16, 2026. The series also received an anime adaptation that premiered its first season in April 2023 and a second season to follow in July 2024.
