Overview
Blend-S is a 2017 television series centered on a high school student named Maika Sakuranomiya. Maika faces difficulty securing part-time employment due to the intimidating appearance of her face when she smiles.

The café operates on a unique premise where waitresses are assigned specific character traits to perform for customers, such as the tsundere or younger sister archetypes. Because of her natural look, Maika is assigned the role of a sadist. As part of her duties, she must adopt a dominant and cruel persona while serving patrons, a requirement that is particularly suited for customers who exhibit masochistic tendencies.
