Nekokado is a serious and strict high school teacher. He always follows the rules and keeps his life in order. Since the death of his sister, he has lived alone, focusing only on his work. He never thought much about her past—until one day, he finds a surprising photo.
In the picture, his sister is wearing a maid costume.
Nekokado is shocked. He never knew she worked at a maid café. Wanting to understand more about her life, he decides to visit a concept café. He tells himself it’s just for research, nothing more. But when he steps inside, he meets a girl named Tsuruko, and his life takes an unexpected turn.
The café is completely different from anything Nekokado has experienced. The waitresses wear cute outfits, greet customers with cheerful voices, and treat them like honored guests. It’s lively, playful, and the opposite of his quiet, disciplined world.
Then, he meets Tsuruko—a bright and energetic maid who immediately takes an interest in him. She is curious about why a serious-looking man like him is in the café. Nekokado, uncomfortable and unsure, tries to avoid her questions. But Tsuruko doesn’t give up so easily.
She teases him, makes him talk, and slowly, he starts to relax. For the first time in a long while, Nekokado finds himself in a situation he cannot control.
Tsuruko Returns the Favor Plot
As he spends more time at the café, Nekokado learns about his sister’s hidden life. She wasn’t just his quiet, responsible sibling—she had her own dreams, friendships, and joys. Working at the café was something she truly loved, but she had kept it a secret from him.
Through Tsuruko, he begins to see a different side of the world, one that isn’t ruled by strict rules and expectations. Instead of just searching for answers, he finds himself caught in a new experience, one that makes him question his own way of living.
At first, Nekokado only wanted to uncover his sister’s past. But meeting Tsuruko and stepping into this unfamiliar world changes something inside him. Will he go back to his strict and lonely life, or will he allow himself to open up to new possibilities?
One thing is certain—this journey is just beginning.
