Waitress

Synopsis

It's got a strong smell, some nicotine, and no isopropyl alcohol. But you can take a breather in this semi-basement cafe. It's a hotbed of true feelings. A wife troubled by her abusive husband, a gal who doesn't belong at school, a newly divorced editor... This cafe is naturally supportive of its customers who are living stressful days, and sometimes even intervenes with force. The cafe is run by Fujiko, the owner with her grey hair and a secret; Etsuko, the baby-faced waitress; and Kamuzo, the plump mascot dog. This is a refreshing comedy about women who can't wait and cut through the "tiresome everyday life." (Source: Futabasha, translated)
