REMOW describes the main synopsis of Ichijyoma Mankitsu Gurashi as:
Meiko Morita, a high schooler living in Akita, is suddenly selected as a special transfer student to the prestigious girls’ school Amamiya Girls’ Academy. With both excitement and nerves, she heads to Tokyo to begin her new life.
But what awaits her isn’t a typical student dorm—it’s a manga café called “Hedgehog”, which also functions as a shared dormitory!
Living in a tiny one-tatami room and working at the café as part of her daily duties, Meiko finds herself surrounded by quirky fellow residents — and so begins her slightly strange, manga-filled Tokyo life!
