The 2017 workplace comedy Blend S, a 12-episode anime series produced by A-1 Pictures, is now available to stream on Crunchyroll with both English dub and subtitles. The series follows Maika Sakuranomiya, a high school student who struggles to find a part-time job due to her unintentionally intimidating smile.
Her luck changes when she's hired at Café Stile, a themed restaurant where servers adopt distinct character traits to entertain customers. Maika is assigned the role of a sadist, a persona that clashes with her true nature but proves surprisingly effective. The show delves into the comedic dynamics of the staff as they navigate their unusual roles and personal lives.
Blend S is a finished series, making it ideal for a binge-watch. It's known for its lighthearted humor and its embrace of otaku culture tropes, including the popular "cute girls doing cute things" theme.
