The combined second and third 2026 issue of Kodansha‘s Weekly Shōnen Magazine published a mini chapter for Kouji Seo‘s The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses (Megami no Café Terrace) manga on Wednesday. The magazine also announced that Seo will launch a new series in the magazine’s July issue, which is scheduled for January 14.
The manga ended on November 5. Seo launched the manga in
Weekly Shōnen Magazine in February 2021.
Kodansha USA Publishing is releasing the manga in English, and it describes the story:
When Hayato’s grandmother passed, he planned to sell her rundown café on the shore—not realizing that it was also home to five young women who call themselves her family?! Their desperation to keep the café open convinces Hayato to give it a shot…but even their best intentions might not be enough to make it work! And can he even work with these five unruly women? No matter what, he’s got his work cut out for him! A fun new romcom by the author of Fuuka and Suzuka!
The first season of the manga’s anime adaptation premiered in April 2023. Crunchyroll streamed the series as it aired. The second season debuted in July 2024. Crunchyroll also streamed the second season as it aired.

Seo ended his 27-volume Kimi no Iru Machi (A Town Where You Live) manga on the same day he launched Fuuka. The manga inspired a television anime adaptation from GONZO in 2014 as well as four original video anime volumes.
