At 12 o'clock midnight, in a small corner of a bustling city, a canteen has just opened for business. The owner of this late-night canteen (played by Kaoru Kobayashi) has a scar on his face, but he is a warm man with superb cooking skills. Although the menu in the small shop is simple, as long as the guests want to eat, they can order it, so the small shop is loved by the lower-class citizens. Continuing the style of the first season, an intriguing story is staged every night in the late-night canteen, and the protagonist of each story has his own favorite food. It is particularly worth mentioning that the red sausage that appeared in the first season reappeared, and the past buried for many years was revealed. The old friends gathered again and unfolded a new warm story... "Midnight Diner" began serialization in 2006. Due to the rich atmosphere and special style of the work, it was adapted into a Japanese drama for the second time, with Kaoru Kobayashi as the male lead. The following year, it won the "55th Shogakukan Manga Award" and the "39th Cartoonist Association Award".
