Working!! is fun and satisfying

Working!! is an anime about the interesting things that happen in a family restaurant called Wagnaria, primarily about the staff that work there. Every character is quirky in someway or the other and it makes for some good comedy and drama.

I’d like to go over the characters in the series in the order of their importance and talk about how I feel about them.

Taneshima Popura:

Taneshima is a high school senior who is very short, she is confused for an elementary student most of the time. 

She is very upbeat and works hard, but has a huge complex about her height and is sometimes pranked upon by fellow workers in Wagnaria.

Takanashi Souta:

Takanashi is a junior to Taneshima and is recruited by her to work in Wagnaria at the start of the series. He likes all things tiny and deeply adores Taneshima. 

He is level headed most of the time and works hard. He has three elder sisters and one younger sister whom he has to take care of at home and thus is very responsible.

Inami Mahiru:

Inami is another waitress that works at Wagnaria. She has a severe case of Androphobia and hits men who are too close to her by reflex. 

She is extremely strong and quick to attack even though she is terrified of being near men. Her manager allows her to work with customers who are only women in a group so as to accommodate Inami. 

Inami hits Takanashi lots at the beginning but he promises her to cure her Androphobia by getting her to be normal with him. It is not so easy for Takanashi as he gets hit by Inami a lot but still does not stop helping her. Gradually the two fall in love.

Shirafuji Kyōko:

The manager at Wagnaria, she is incredibly lazy and perpetually hungry. She asks Yachiyo to make parfaits all the time and eats it whenever she feels like it.

Todoroki Yachiyo:

Todoroki is the chief of staff and is a very nice person, she is very attached to the manager Kyōko and worships her. If someone else gives food to Kyōko, she threatens them to stop as she alone has the right to serve food to her precious Kyōko-san.

She also comes from a family who make knifes and as a symbol carries a katana. This makes people nervous and she used to be bullied because of that in elementary school. Kyōko saved Yachiyo from the bullies and they have been friends ever since.

Jun Satō:

Satō is a senior chef in Wagnaria. He is soft and warm and is in love with Yachiyo however all his attempts to signal her go in vain as she is completely occupied by her affection for Kyōko. However his kindness seeps through and Yachiyo starts to have feelings for Satō and she is unable to confess to him. The pairing and the irony is so beautiful and funny

Yamada Aoi:

Yamada is a runaway who cheats the manager into believing that she has lost all her memories. At first she is reluctant to join with the rest of the crew and work but as the series progresses she becomes chirper and joins in the fun but not the work though. She is very lonely as she lives in the restaurant’s attic and invites a lot of attention to herself. She is by far the funnest of the bunch.

And so the working anime is fun to watch and it kinda warms your heart.
