Visiting the house where Sachiko raised him he is shocked to find five girls living there. Ouka, Ami, Riho, Shiragiku and Akane are Familia's waitresses and Sachiko's unofficial granddaughters. Uncaring due to his past falling out with Sachiko, Hayato evicts them. They decide to manipulate Hayato by seducing then blackmailing him. Hayato angrily rejects Ouka and Ami so Shiragiku is deliberately given alcohol, causing her repressed lechery and male body odour fetish to emerge. She jumps on Hayato but Ami, as the girl's self-appointed bodyguard, "rescues" Shiraguki and beats up Hayato, unintentionally foiling the girls' scheme to blackmail him. Developers arrive to discuss demolition work, but when Familia's sign is damaged, Hayato regrets falling out with Sachiko and retrieves the sign. Sensing his feelings, Ouka makes pilaf from Sachiko's recipe. Hayato finally cries over Sachiko's death. Looking at Sachiko's records, Hayato realizes Familia is bankrupt from Sachiko paying the girls despite Familia being too small to sustain five employees. Hayato abruptly decides to reopen Familia but warns them unless Familia becomes profitable in one year he will demolish it. | |||||||

Hayato forces the girls to share household chores. When they realize Hayato has seen their underwear by doing laundry, they send him to clean Familia as punishment. Shiragiku insists Hayato eat with them at mealtimes like family. When Hayato and Ouka see each other naked in the bathroom because there was no sign, Ami beats him up even though Ouka walked in on him. Hayato practices making coffee, but the girls agree his coffee is terrible. Later, the antisocial Akane somehow makes excellent coffee. Despite being annoyed by her, Hayato asks for help. Akane realizes Sachiko was right, he does look cute whilst sulking. Hayato childishly responds she looks cute when she smiles, but she doesn't react and shows him how to make coffee. After Hayato leaves, Akane is actually shown to be quite flustered. Hayato is again beaten by Ami, this time for seeing her naked in the bathroom, even though he put up a sign. Hayato takes Riho on courtesy visits to advertise Familia's reopening, but Riho scolds him for acting moody, putting people off. Realizing she is right, Hayato promises to do better. Riho rewards him by flashing her panties, making him fall down the stairs. Riho is shown with a shrine fortune predicting she will find love with a co-worker. | |||||||

Hayato and Ouka argue constantly so Riho advises Hayato find a solution. Akane advises compliments so he praises Ouka several times; but Ouka takes it as sarcasm. He later finds Ouka in her waitress uniform which he compliments as cute, making Ouka smile as she made their uniforms herself. Shiragiku, accidentally drunk again, ruins the moment molesting Hayato. Hayato pays the girls some wages, revealing he has money in the stock market. Ami tries to distract Hayato from discovering she broke his phone and laptop but fails. This prevents Hayato from selling his stocks in a suddenly bankrupt company, wiping out his savings. He punishes Ami for breaking his phone and laptop. Now entirely financially dependent on Familia, Hayato announces the girls will have to rotate shifts so only two work at a time. Familia reopens with multiple satisfied customers, until the arrival of Fuwa, the loan shark who always harassed Sachiko over money she owed. Hayato keeps his temper, even stopping the girls from hitting Fuwa when he insults Sachiko. However, when Fuwa intentionally exposes Shiragiku's panties, Hayato blackmails him and throws him out while their customers applaud and promise to be his witnesses in case Fuwa comes back. Fuwa swears revenge for insulting him. Shiragiku realizes Hayato hasn’t changed since they were childhood friends 15 years ago. | |||||||

In order to recover from the decreasing customers at Familia, Hayato decides to open a stall at the Cherry Blossom Festival. Shiragiku suggests cherry liqueur cookies but gets drunk and molests Hayato, who is then punished by Ami. Akane gives Hayato a cookie recipe she and Sachiko developed. They open the stall, but Ouka is harassed by Fuwa's grandson and his thugs. The other stall owners drive them away, but Familia's stall is vandalized overnight. Hayato recalls Sachiko had an old food cart which they quickly spruce up into a mobile café stall, which is a success thanks to Riho's social media work. The same thugs meet them on the way home and continue harassing them. Fuwa's grandson punches Hayato, who took it on purpose, believing Fuwa's reputation protects him from being arrested by the police. Claiming self-defense under Hayato's orders, Ami beats up the grandson and the thugs. Hayato threatens them further by claiming Ouka is a secret murderous gang leader, much to her dismay, so the thugs flee. Hayato recorded the whole conversation about Fuwa's connections to corrupt police officers to prevent further retaliation. Ouka is surprised Hayato took the punch on purpose so they wouldn't vandalize Sachiko's food cart. | |||||||

She flashes back to her mother who told her those who don't work hard are worthless. Hayato tells her she should do more things for herself, reminding her of Sachiko and making her think Hayato might actually be reliable. Hayato learns Akane plays in a band on her days off, but won't let the girls attend her concerts. By chance, Hayato comes across her underground concert and finds that despite her usual indifference she is a passionate, talented singer. Akane is embarrassed he saw her sing so he promises to keep her talent secret, but is surprised Akane is unwilling to try becoming a professional singer. Akane is further embarrassed Hayato has bought one of her CD's. The next week, the girls discuss living together with a man, but conclude from his personality Hayato won't try to seduce them. They wonder what Hayato plans to do when the year is over. Akane claims she wouldn't mind marrying Hayato, shocking the girls, then claims she was joking. | |||||||

Riho notices Hayato smiles whenever Shiragiku praises him, and Shiragiku is envious when Hayato pats Riho's head. Shiragiku is outraged Hayato plans to change Sachiko's old menu, leading to a taste test, a Sachiko sandwich against a new menu sandwich made by Riho. Aware the girl's real motive isn't the menu, Hayato claims he is full and doesn't try either sandwich. Ami becomes a perfect employee, worrying everybody. Akane suspects it is because Ami recently lost a karate match. Ami confirms her coach even advised her not to try due to her opponent's strength. Hayato rejects this, pointing out Ami just needs to learn more moves. Ami recovers but breaks Hayato's new laptop, followed by Ouka breaking his phone. Ami makes her usual offer of a breast squeeze as compensation, but is shocked when Hayato actually takes her offer and punishes her by giving her a mad breast squeezing rampage. Humiliated, she decides to stop offering breast squeezes from now on. After the girls start acting strangely, Hayato realizes that despite appearances, they are just employees, not his family, and almost tells them so, only to find they had planned a party to celebrate Familia's two month anniversary. Hayato realizes they are his family after all. Akane receives a phone call from her mother that upsets her. | |||||||

From Akane's behavior, Hayato deduces she is planning to quit and move out due to her mother. Akane is grateful for Hayato's help, jokingly offering a breast squeeze as repayment, but Hayato asks her for a date instead. The girls discover the secret date and are suspicious. Akane realizes the date is Hayato's way of asking her to share her problem. She eventually reveals her family owns a trading company; since her father died she is sole heir, so her mother has chosen a fiancé for her and is pressuring her to have children. Hayato deduces from the lousy coffee she just made Akane doesn't want to go. The girls agree she can't leave so Akane asks Hayato to help her. They meet Akane's mother, but she is unable to speak her mind, so Hayato gives her a harsh scolding that she needs to stop making excuses and start standing up for herself. With that, Akane gains the courage to defy her mother. She relents and tells Akane can live as she pleases and seems to be familiar with Hayato's family name Kasukabe. The other girls are relieved Akane is staying. As she leaves, her mother cheerfully points out if Akane wants to marry Hayato she will need to defeat the other girls first, much to her embarrassment as she denies her claim. In private, Akane thanks Hayato for his help by hugging him and promising to make his coffee the rest of his life. An embarrassed Hayato warns her not to make fun of him and walks away. Delighted, she confirms she has a crush on him. | |||||||

Akane re-joins her band mates to start singing again. The girls agree to work the summer and immediately discuss whether to wear beach uniforms or bikinis, depending on which one flusters Hayato more, until Hayato insists on shorts and vests. Shiragiku gets drunk touching alcohol cleaning wipes and molests Hayato half-naked. Akane changes her band name like Hayato had suggested, making the others worry she has become a serious rival for Hayato’s affections. Shiragiku creates a watermelon parfait as the hut's signature item, followed by a photoshoot that goes viral due to Ami wearing a bizarre mask. On the opening day, Riho sees Akane talking with Hayato instead of working and becomes angry at them before fainting from overwork and heatstroke. Hayato scolds her for worrying him again, which actually makes her feel less jealous, though she throws a tantrum when Hayato refuse to apologize to Akane for her. Akane overhears this anyway and smiles. | |||||||

Before he gets her hint, Ami pulls him into the ocean as a prank. Akane teaches Ami to make coffee and she does better than Ouka. Hayato has to force Riho to take a break so she won't faint again. A news reporter accidentally reveals Riho’s past as a child-actress, upsetting her. It is revealed Riho’s mother overworked her, leading Riho’s father to divorce her over concerns for Riho's health, which Riho never recovered from. Hayato assures her Familia's success doesn’t matter if it risks her health, so she agrees to relax more and cries in Hayato's arms. It turns out the girls knew about her past anyway but didn’t think it was important since to them she is just Riho, not child-actress Riho. | |||||||

Akane informs Riho she confessed to Hayato at the beach, so if she loves Hayato as well she needs to let him know soon. Riho finally confesses to Hayato, but instantly claims to be joking. Hayato is uncomfortable by this and repeats himself that he won't think about romance until Familia's future is decided. Riho accepts this, but the next day loses her temper as Akane now openly flirts with Hayato. Their rivalry is noticed by customers as they argue over Hayato. Ami steps in to calm them down and force them both to stop fighting. Akane admits she provoked Riho on purpose so she could be honest about her feelings as she tends to keep them bottled up.

Hayato decides to create another new menu item. Akane and Riho notice Hayato doesn't trust either of them, given their recent rivalry behavior. Shiragiku is annoyed when Hayato casually mentions her moving out soon to get a real job, so she abruptly confesses to him as well. Thankfully she was just drunk on kitchen disinfectant and passes out in her underwear. Hayato hears a rumour about Sachiko and finally demands to know why he saw Shiragiku in her room late at night. Shiragiku's flashback shows Sachiko was once a 3 Michelin Star chef in Spain who mentored Shiragiku's father, which is how Shiragiku first met Hayato as children. Sachiko never wanted Hayato to know she had to quit being a chef to raise him. Hayato blames himself for ruining Sachiko's life, but Shiragiku assures him Sachiko never once regretted choosing to raise him. Hayato decides he simply can’t let Familia fail. The other girls, all eavesdropping, tearfully agree to do whatever it takes to make Familia thrive, though their emotional outbursts only cause Hayato to yell in frustration. A flashforward shows an older Hayato, still working at Familia, but now with his teenage daughter, though which of the five girls he ended up marrying is left a mystery. As Hayato and the girls are having a picnic, a drunken Shiragiku tells everyone that she loves Hayato, much to their shock, especially to Akane and Riho as they have another rival in their hands to win Hayato's heart. | |||||||

Shiragiku is unable to improve their menu since the original menu was created by Sachiko, a 3 star chef. Hayato tells her to stop focusing on Sachiko’s menu, which was created to serve Familia’s needs at the time, and come up with something that suits Familia’s current crisis. Shiragiku begins planning a cutting-edge menu. Riho encounters her Family counterpart, Ririka the internet idol. Shiragiku creates a menu based on Spanish snacks. The Family waitresses are shocked when Familia’s popularity suddenly skyrockets when Riho releases a video documenting her journey from child actress to waitress trying to save her grandmother’s café. Local tv stations soon pick up the story, making Familia popular again while Family suffers an unexpected surge of negative online reviews criticizing their badly made food and poor customer service. Ririka refuses to give up but her confidence is shaken when Riho points out Ririka’s popularity is already declining due to her naïve attitude toward the idol industry. They then notice Ririka forgot to turn off her camera and her audience saw their entire argument, leading to messages of both disappointment and support as their fans discuss which of them was in the wrong. Riho expects Hayato to be angry as they lose customers again, but Hayato had already deduced Riho provoked the argument on camera to help boost Ririka’s failing popularity just a little. | |||||||

Afterwards, Hayato notices Ami deliberately trying not to be recognized as the inn is actually in her hometown. The girls debate on ambushing Hayato in the bath. Ami’s foster sister Eri tracks her down hoping she will visit her grandmother Katsuyo, her only living relative, but Ami declines as Katsuyo has dementia and no longer recognizes her.

Shiragiku gets drunk when their meal turns out to contain alcohol and causes a lecherous commotion. Hayato bathes alone but Ami turns up naked, though for once she decides not to beat him up.

Finally, Riho lures him out of the room, but he falls through the same wall a third time on purpose before she can even try anything. In the morning, Hayato is so exhausted the girls can’t wake him and are shocked to find his manhood poking from his underwear.

Ouka makes Sachiko’s pilaf rice for Hayato one last time and explains she always worried about Familia closing, but Hayato quitting school was a relief so she is now confident enough to chase her own goals. At the airport, Ouka says an emotional goodbye to everyone, especially to Ami, who doesn't want her to leave, but notices Hayato being depressed. Unable to stop herself, she sadistically torments him one last time then suddenly kisses him, redeeming her right to one kiss she had previously refused and snapping him out of his depression. After Ouka leaves, the others return to Familia to carry on the chaos without her. In France, Ouka works her hardest so they will be proud of her. | |||||||
Reception
[edit]As of April 2023, the series has 1 million copies in circulation.[57]
Anime News Network had three editors review the first episode of the anime:[58] James Beckett found nothing "actively terrible or migrane-inducing" with the series opener but felt it was "played out and low effort," saying it lacked more lively animation to make it a "pure, shameless comedy" and recommended that people seek out "funnier comedies and sweeter romances" throughout the spring season. Nicholas Dupree commended the first half for giving its audience the cheesecake fanservice with "professional efficiency", but criticized the second half for Hayato's "extremely hackneyed" family story clashing with said fanservice, noting the cast were not "well-rounded" and "too unlikable" to deliver the drama and comedy respectively. He concluded that "there doesn't seem to be much else in the way of ecchi shows this season, so if that's your bag, I guess you can do the opposite of reading Playboy for the articles." Richard Eisenbeis respected the premiere for being an unashamed "good ol' fanservice harem rom-com" and singled out Akane as the most interesting out of the female cast, concluding: "With solid character designs, and at least one character that genuinely intrigues me, I might give this show another chance next week. I mean, it's definitely a fanservice anime, but part of me wonders if it might be something more."[58]
Eisenbeis reviewed the complete anime series in 2024 and gave it an overall C+ grade.[59] He criticized the first half for being "painfully cliché" with its tired setup and one-note, cookie-cutter caricatures, but praised the second half for Hayato's "arrogant asshole" character helping to guide the female cast to confront their personal issues and make them more than stereotypes, concluding that: "Ultimately, The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses has left me conflicted. The first few episodes are so boring and uninspired that I can't, in good conscience, recommend the anime. However, at the same time, the back half is good enough that I am honestly looking forward to the second season."[59]
