About Rainy Cocoa

Here is what Rainy Cocoa (雨色ココア) is about, retold in plain terms: a comedy and slice of life anime by EMT Squared (2015). The setup: Due to various circumstances, college freshman Aoi Tokura kicks off part-timing at the café "Rainy Color" run by Shion Koga and owned by Kouji Amami. Attending the café are the cool and handsome Keiichi Iwase and the confident Ryouta Sakurai.

Another thread: Aoi's life gets a lot more hectic, but fun.

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Ryouta Sakuragi (Mamoru Miyano) and Keiichi Iwase (Hikaru Midorikawa) are two of the characters you will meet early. It will appeal most to viewers who want something light between heavier series. With 12 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
