Ichijyoma Mankitsu Gurashi Production Details and Synopsis
Meiko Morita is a humble (spelled POOR) girl from the countryside. Like most people in her situation, Meiko dreams of a better life, not only for herself but for her family. Being an astute lass, she knows that one’s future is dependent on one’s means. However, one day, an opportunity falls from the sky. Well, an opportunity falls in the form of a flyer from a newspaper she’s delivering, advertising a paid live-in study position at a prestigious all-girls’ school. Besides her studies, she’d get a hefty allowance in exchange for some work. Thinking that it could be an opportunity to improve her life, Mekio applies, and to her surprise, gets accepted. But when Meiko gets to Tokyo, the work waiting for her is… a live-in manga café?!
