About this title

Synopsis

Shirokuma Café provides a pleasant atmosphere that is popular among magazines and its local clientele, with one of its charms being that anyone is welcome regardless of species. The owner of this trendy eatery is a pun-loving polar bear named Shirokuma, who enjoys running the place as much as he likes wordplay. His friends—an easygoing panda and a level-headed penguin—are regulars at the establishment. Even though the three have their own daily lives, the trio always have fun together, whether it is an exciting trip to see new sights and people beyond the cafe or a casual conversation at the end of a long day. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Panda235 fan favorites
External profile
Panda is a teenager who enjoys eating bamboo and lazing around. He loves bamboo so much that he orders it everywhere he goes, even if it isn't served there (but usually gets a special order of bamboo anyway). He's obsessed with his image of being cute, and is brutally blunt all the time, and is most likely oblivious to how honest he really is. Panda is extremely lazy and not very bright, and he's clumsy, vain and selfish as well.
