Anime Crossover: I Run a Monster Izakaya, and I Absolutely Never Work Overtime

In a corner of a shopping street in Tokyo stands a strange monster-themed izakaya.

Is the cashier a talking cat with a gold coin stuck to its forehead? Is the server a turtle with garlic strapped to its back? Is the one tending the fire a dinosaur with flames burning on its tail? Is the dishwasher a goofy turtle with a shell on its back?

And why is the menu full of things like Gatanothor's Premium Thick Soup, Kaola Steak, and Spicy Metronian, whatever those are?

The customers who come to try the food are just as bizarre.

The head of the Service Club,

A female light-novel author,

A genius girl with the "God's Tongue,"

A silly-looking bald man,

The strongest man on the seas,

"Boss, the dishes here may have names that make no sense, but they're way too delicious! Bring me a billion more servings!"

Uesugi Hayato: "Sorry, we're closed. I'm off work."

"???"
