Chica Umino’s critically-acclaimed and multi-award-winning manga, March Comes in Like A Lion, has finally gotten a much-needed anime adaptation. In celebration of the new anime, a limited-time cafe will be running until 30th December at the fourth floor of the JP Tower KITTE in Chiyoda, Tokyo.

While the manga may focus more on Shougi and Rei’s relationships, particularly the three Kawamoto sisters, the manga would often feature food being prepared for Rei by those same sisters. The cafe’s menu includes:
