Bartender (manga)
Summary
is a Japanese manga series written by Araki Joh and illustrated by Kenji Nagatomo. Its focus is Ryū Sasakura, a genius bartender who uses his talents to ease the worries and soothe the souls of troubled customers. The manga was first serialized in Shueisha's Japanese seinen magazine Super Jump from 2004 to 2011. The individual chapters were collected by Shueisha and released in twenty-one tankōbon volumes.
Bartender was later adapted into an anime television series, broadcast in 2006 on Fuji Television. The manga was also adapted into a Japanese television drama in 2011 that aired on TV Asahi. Three spin-off manga (Bartender à Paris, Bartender à Tokyo, and Bartender 6stp) have been serialized in Grand Jump and Grand Jump Premium between 2012 and 2019. In Japan, Bartender has sold over 2.8 million copies, while it received a mixed reception from English-language manga and anime publications.
A new anime television series produced by Liber, titled Bartender: Glass of God, is set to premiere in April 2024.
Bartender follows the nightlife of Ryū Sasakura (voiced by Takahiro Mizushima in the anime and played by Masaki Aiba in the drama), a bartending prodigy who is said to mix the best cocktails anyone has ever tasted. Upon returning from his studies in France, Ryū works as an assistant for a senior bartender at the bar Lapin. He later opened his own bar, the Eden Hall, which is hidden in a nook of the Ginza district in downtown Tokyo. Rumor holds that potential patrons cannot simply find and enter Eden Hall; rather they must be invited in by the host. Sasakura is known to serve the "Glass of the Gods", a way of saying that he knows just the right drink to serve in a particular situation.
The only other regular character is Miwa Kurushima (voiced by Ayumi Fujimura in the anime and played by Shihori Kanjiya in the drama), the granddaughter of the owner of the Hotel Cardinal, Taizo Kurushima. She is the office lady of the company and requires him to compete for the job of bartender in the hotel.
