A strange young girl lives in the old, forgotten Kisaragi rail station. She sees humans go by on the train, and she wishes she could speak with them. When one man accidentally stops and talks with her, the conclusion of his story becomes the trigger that sends her off on a journey of her own.

Kurokawa Lisa is an ordinary office worker, who has practiced lots of cooking while living alone. One day, she wakes up in another world, with a concerned little spirit hovering over her! She has apparently been transported to a magical, spirit-filled realm by the will of the goddess, and there is no known way for her to go back. She is taken in by a wealthy couple, and they and her new spirit helper treat her with nothing but kindness. There is one problem, however--the food in this magical world is gross! Lisa insists on helping the household cooking staff prepare a traditional meal from her world, and it is a big hit with her hosts. Soon Lisa knows what she should do in this new world; she should open a cafe and treat everyone to delicious food!

This is what tethysdust said this week:
All the ones I read this week were pretty fun. Isekai Cafe was cute and peaceful. It seems like it will be a happy manga. Hajimari no Yakou Ressha, on the other hand, was cute but sad/bittersweet (depending on the chapter). Meguraba would be an interesting one for people who want a kind of offbeat school life story.

My opinion:
Hajimari no Yakou Ressha - If you're into fox girls and fantasy dramas, then you'll like this manga.
Isekai Cafe o Kaiten Shimashita. - This is also a fantasy based manga, but more cooking based. If you're a fan of cooking mangas, then this may be the manga for you.
Meguraba - If you're more in the mood for slice of life school comedies, then you should check out this manga instead.
