Kayoko Kubo

Kayoko is the no-nonsense assistant manager at her family's restaurant, Garden. With a sharp tongue and an even sharper glare, she’s quick to whip her coworkers into shape, often calling out her no-nonsense boss, Masami, for being “soft.” Complaining about her salary and benefits is practically a pastime for her, but don’t let that tough exterior fool you. She’s got a heart of gold and takes the younger staff, like Akira, under her wing, offering sage advice whenever they need it. Plus, she melts at the sight of kids and small critters—like Yuuto’s adorable hamster, which brings out her softer side.
