Maruto is also credited with the original story, and Yano is also credited with the world setting.

The story takes place in London at Café Forbidden, a mysterious café that only opens at night. The protagonist is a girl who is in London to study abroad. She meets the handsome men who work this place where the guardians of the boundary between the human and shadow world gather.
Haruta Mayuzumi launched a manga set before the anime's story on LINE Manga on March 25.
Happy Elements announced an anime adaptation for Ensemble Stars! in 2015, but the project was postponed. The company announced last month that it is relaunching the project.
