Synopsis:

Working!! unfolds in the scenic Hokkaido region, centered around the bustling Wagnaria family restaurant. Souta Takanashi, drawn to the charm of a spirited older woman named Popura Taneshima, accepts a position at the restaurant. His role involves navigating the unconventional dynamics of a highly individualistic staff. The team comprises a diverse array of personalities: from the disciplined floor chief Yachiyo Todoroki and the stern head chef Jun Satou, to the subtly manipulative sous chef Hiroomi Souma and the perpetually apathetic manager Kyouko Shirafuji. Adding another layer is Mahiru Inami, whose anxieties about men create unexpected comedic situations. The series explores the everyday challenges and peculiar bonds forged within a workplace environment, emphasizing character interactions and lighthearted humor amidst the demands of service industry life.
