History Manga / BlendS

However, Maika's luck changes when she happens upon a blond-haired foreigner at the train station. This man is the Italian manager of [[CosplayCafe Café Stile]], a unique café where the waitresses are all assigned specific character archetypes, taken from anime otaku culture. Maika's menacing expression instantly catches his attention, and she is offered a once-in-a-lifetime job opportunity -- as a {{sadist}} waitress whose job is to abuse the customers.

* DoubleStandard: Female characters get away with things male characters don't, or wouldn't. Mafuyu gets away with repeated physical abuse, and along with Miu forcing others to dress up in various questionable outfits. On the other side, if Dino looks even vaguely suspect, regardless of if he's obviously not guilty, he's either physically punished or someone threatens to call the police. They also immediately call him out for sexual harassment when he's asking about swimsuits in order to help pick one out for Maika.

* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish:
** The opening theme's beginning segments of the show. "[[{{Sadist}} Smile.]] [[{{Tsundere}} Sweet.]] [[LittleSisterHeroine Sister.]] [[CoolBigSis Sadistic.]] [[DisguisedInDrag Surprise.]] [[ThoseTwoGuys Service.]]"
** A foreigner in Episode 2 speaks surprisingly good and coherent English.

* TheThingThatGoesDoink: A shishi-odoshi is frequently seen and heard at Maika's home, to let you know that she was brought up in a traditional Japanese home with some serious cash.
