Additional Comments

It also has a Special Edition released priced at 1,080 yen (≈8 USD) that comes with a booklet.

Megami no Café Terrace was last seen on the Oricon Top 30 sales chart with Volume 9, which sold 19,029 copies in its first three days in February 2023. However, the Special Edition volume does not appear on either the Oricon Top 30 or Top 50 sales charts for that week. The cutoff point for the Top 50 was 11,164 copies, so if the Special Edition were to be included in the lower ranks (Top 51 and below), it would have sold approximately 10,000 copies. With that estimation, the total copies sold for Volume 10 in its first seven days would be around 35,000 copies.

Megami no Café Terrace is being adapted into a TV Anime series by studio Tezuka Productions of which the first episode was aired on April 8, 2023.
