\nYes, it is incredibly hypocritical of me to watch any halfway decent cute girls doing cute things series but only give the equivalent pretty boys series a chance because of a favourable Anime Feminist review of the first episode<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

\nBut I’m glad I did, having skipped it originally because nine time out of ten these series just don’t hold my interest. I’ve tried a few, usually gave up after a few epsiodes, but this one kept me engaged throughout. There’s something very comforting about four sweet boys doing their best to keep their customers happy by feeding them good food and help them solve their problems. A good, diverse cast beyond the four primary protagonists too. I could’ve done without the subplot of the glasses wearing dude having an estranged brother who’s some big businessman, but on the whole this was a nice way to unwind every week.\n<\/p>\n

\nThere are two other pretty boy series I watched this season. Devils Line<\/cite> was a confused mess, about vampiric “demons” as second class citizens and how hard it is to be in love when being in love makes you want to drink the blood of your woman. Kakuriyo no Yadomesh<\/cite> is better, but started rough and isn’t finished yet. A young woman is kidnapped by a ogre who claims she was the collatoral for her deceased grandfather’s debt and now she has to marry him. It’s gets better, as she establishes herself at the inn the ogre runs and starts her own restaurant. Again, a pretty relaxing series to follow, with low stakes problems being overcome easily as our protagonist wins the hearts and mind of all the ‘monsters’ she comes across.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
