K MANGA describes the story:
A new series from Kouji Seo, the creator of The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses! Unemployed 19-year-old Kazuma has been summoned to Asagiri Island, rumored to be home to long lost pirate treasure. He ends up working as an odd-job man at Umine Inn, a traditional Japanese café with women-only lodgings and a host of eccentric yet beautiful women. The stuff of dreams for any man – a romantic comedy about island life and treasure hunting, where the surroundings are beautiful in more ways than one!
Seo launched the series in Kodansha‘s Weekly Shōnen Magazine on Wednesday.
Seo launched the The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses (Megami no Café Terrace) manga in Kodansha‘s Weekly Shōnen Magazine in February 2021. Seo ended the series on November 5.
