y'all should really watch tokyo ghoul! it's a really wholesome anime about a boy who meets a girl in a little obscure coffee shop. in fact, the boy likes the memory of meeting this girl there so much that he decides to work there! he learns about a lot of things, including..
how to pour the perfect cup of coffee:

how to make the perfect dinner meal for a guy with a passion for math:

he also meets an eccentric gay french man with a soft spot for the local auction:

the main character has a best friend, too, of course, and imo they're very cute together 🥰

there are also a lot of animal species in the show, such as Doves, a couple of Owls, a "devil" ape, a Black Dog and a few Dobers.

there's also a cool mask maker named Uta. The tattoo on his neck is a Latin quote written in Greek letters which read, "I can live neither with you, nor without you." pretty awesome, i think!

of course, i can't leave out the they/them ICON, Juzzou Suzuya! they're a very cute kid i think 💕

tokyo ghoul is available on funimation for free:)
Thanatos :)
(should i do aot next? or maybe the promised neverland?)
