Café Stella and the Reaper's Butterflies

College student Takamine Kousei dies in an accident, then opens his eyes on the morning it happened. A strange encounter involving a reaper and butterflies draws him into a story about death, lingering attachments, and a second chance.

Kousei joins a small café's staff and shares its daily work with a group of women. The story follows their shifts, conversations, and efforts to keep the shop going, mixing workplace comedy and romance with supernatural events.

Choices guide Kousei into separate romance routes, each centered on a heroine and her personal concerns. This is a single-player visual novel with multiple endings, told through dialogue and illustrated scenes.

Many supplied reviewers praise the heroines and their individual romance arcs, especially the emotional pull they found in Natsume and Kanna's routes; others enjoy the easygoing café routines as a relaxing contrast. Praise is not universal: recurring reservations describe the shared opening and central plot as slow or slight, and some find route quality uneven or adult scenes disruptive.
