Manga 1st & 11th volume covers:
One of the reasons for the manga’s rise in popularity is, of course, its TV anime adaptation that has been airing since April. The TV anime produced by Passione and Studio Lings premiered in Japan on April 5, and has also been simulcast on Crunchyroll for members in North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East and CIS.
Synopsis:
Worried about her reputation, Hime covers shifts for a cafe manager she accidentally injures to maintain her picture-perfect princess image. But this cafe has a peculiar theme—private school. To put on her best barista schoolgirl act, she’ll be trained by the most graceful girl there, Mitsuki. Under her guidance, Hime’s feelings start to brew, but there’s just one problem—Mitsuki can’t stand her!
