Ex-soldier opens rural bakery, hires mysterious white-haired girl to counter his intimidating aura and save failing business.
Tatakau Panya to Automaton Waitress is about an ex-soldier who moves to a rural town to open a bakery. While he has no problem baking delicious bread, this battle-scarred veteran discovers that his intimidating demeanor is scaring off potential customers.

Could hiring her save his bakery? Just who is this beautiful girl? Is she even human?! (Source: Kadokawa)
