The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses (Seasons 1–2)

The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses (2023) is a Japanese romantic comedy anime you can watch online on iFILM. Hayato Kasukabe travels back to a sleepy seaside town to sell the run-down café his late grandmother left behind — and finds five young women already living above it.

His grandmother had taken them in, and they cared for her right up to the end. Now they have no intention of leaving. What was meant to be a quick sale turns into Hayato running the shop and sharing a roof with five very different housemates, each with her own temper and her own reason to stay. The voice cast includes Azumi Waki, Rie Takahashi, Kana Hanazawa and Sumire Uesaka.

Adapted from the manga by Kouji Seo, the creator behind Suzuka and Fuuka, the show keeps things light: less heartbreak, more warm slice-of-life comedy with a bright coastal setting. A comfortable pick if you like harem stories that go easy on the drama. Stream The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses (2023) online on iFILM.
