The Shanghai
The Shanghai is a small café/tea shop located in the small town that Yamaku Academy belongs to. Its interior is that of a traditional Japanese tea house. It doesn't seem to get many customers, but still attracts enough people to stay in business, with it's relative proximity to Yamaku being an undoubtedly critical reason as to why it is still open. Quite a few Yamaku students visit the Shanghai, especially the girls and Hisao. Yuuko the librarian works as a waitress here when she's not at work in the Yamaku library or studying.
