‘Working!!!’, set in ‘Wagnaria’, a humble family restaurant located in the Hokkaido Prefecture of Japan, spins a fascinating tale of diverse, quirky characters, each with their unique eccentricities. The anime primarily follows Souta Takanashi, a high school student unwillingly working at the restaurant due to his fondness for cute things, instantly roped in on seeing Popura Taneshima, a petite senior employee. The anime cast thickens with a plethora of interesting personalities breathing life into ‘Wagnaria’, eventually setting up an endearing, engaging narrative.
