Ichijyoma Mankitsu Gurashi! - Season 1

Meiko Morita, a high school student from Akita, is selected as a transfer student at the highly desirable Tenmiya Girls' Academy and moves to Tokyo to live in a dormitory. The dormitory also doubles as a manga cafe, and she begins working there as a volunteer.

The group consists of Rie Amamiya, the shop owner, dormitory manager, and pampered young lady; Marika Suzuki, a video streamer; and Oto Nakano, a hardcore gamer.

And so began her life in a tiny dorm room with the other residents! But the reason Meiko was able to transfer in was because she was mistaken for a rookie manga artist named "Morita Meiko"...

Meiko gradually gets used to life at the manga cafe, going shopping with Oto and brainstorming new menu items with everyone.
Then one day, Kozue Amamiya, Rie's mother and the chairwoman of Amamiya Girls' Academy, visits the shop. Kozue
tells her that the shop will close if things continue like this.
It turns out the shop is running at a huge loss due to Rie's reckless management. Meiko and the others have to quickly start working to improve the business situation, but...?

Meiko spends her days having fun with everyone, playing zombie games with Oto and filming videos for streaming with Marika.
Then one day, Narumi Michika, a cat-loving girl who works at a cat cafe in the same building
, storms into the shop. Michika is furious because the cat cafe has become too small due to Rie's forced expansion...
A battle between two different industries begins...!?

It's the height of summer, and Meiko and her friends are in high spirits as the manga cafe is doing well with customers.

However, a sudden air conditioner malfunction forced them to close the shop. Rie was disappointed that the business had been going so well, but Kozue tried to cheer her up.

Then, as Meiko and the others are wondering where to stay until their air conditioner is fixed, Kozue suggests their villa in Guam.

Meiko and her friends, along with Michika, suddenly set off for a tropical resort!

Meiko relaxes, reminiscing about her recent trip to Guam.
However, she fails her final exams and has to take a retake.
Along with her retake classmates Marika and Oto, she studies intensely, even involving Michika and tutoring Rie, who is actually a good student.
As summer vacation arrives, Marika and Oto go home for the holidays.
Meiko, having somehow managed to get through her remedial classes, also plans to go home to her younger siblings, including Mizuori, but she can't help but worry about Rie, who is staying alone at the shop...

Summer vacation is almost over.
Meiko lost her panties and wandered around the store without any, but Oto and Marika, who had been visiting from out of town, have returned, and the store is back to its usual self.
Noticing that there's a customer who's been living in the store all this time, Meiko and the others go to check her identity.
The customer is a suspicious woman who gets excited about historical manga, speaks in a samurai-like manner, and tries to conceal her true identity... but who is she really?!

Even after the second semester began, Meiko and her friends
continued their usual routines. Michika and Suzu had become regulars at the shop. At high school, they talked about light novels, changed seats in class, and had fun playing games and reading risqué doujinshi in the club room.
Marika, living a completely decadent lifestyle, ended up with her panties exposed due to a backache while live-streaming.
Everyone helped her improve her physical condition. Oto practiced hard for a gaming tournament.
Everyone's fun-filled lives continued...!

It's autumn. The grand athletic meet at Amamiya Girls' Academy has begun.
Meiko tries to have fun without a care in the world, but this girls' school is on a different scale.
Led by Rie, the acting chairwoman, there are stacks of cash flying and expensive props on display, with a plethora of competitions where money is poured in.
The gymnastics uniform is bloomers. And the grand prize is a whole Wagyu beef cow.
In order to feed the beef to her younger siblings back home, Meiko aims to win...!

While cleaning out the store's warehouse, Meiko and her friends find a photo booth and decide to take pictures together.
Marika finds an item from her embarrassing past that she had sealed away and tries to secretly dispose of it.
But someone is closing in on her...
Meiko, Rie, Oto, Michika, and Suzu use their respective skills to work together to find the kidnapped Marika.
Who is the culprit, and what is their motive...?

Meiko and the others spend Christmas together at the shop, and are happy about this connection.
Then, at the end of the year, Meiko decides to take Rie home with her.
Rie still thinks Meiko is the manga artist "Morita Meiko" and wants to see Meiko's childhood home.
Meiko realizes that the misunderstanding hasn't been cleared up and becomes very flustered.
Determined to keep it a secret, she tries to interrupt Rie and Mizuori's conversation, but...!?

Meiko's secret is finally revealed, and the true identity of the manga artist "Morita Meiko" is uncovered.
Berna's report reveals everything.
The misunderstanding is finally cleared up, and Rie and the others accept it without anger.
However, Meiko suffers from the guilt of not being able to tell them herself.
Determined to face Rie and ask herself if things can continue like this, Meiko...
