However, Vonnie's boyfriend is indeed a married man that is also in love with her and soon she has to make a choice between her two loves.



Short Review

Caf Society aims to be light and frothy, but feels more like a stale cream puff. It looks enticing, but lacks anything fresh or substantial. [Full review in Japanese]
