Animaru

Thank you, friends. Until next time! 💕

We literally can't thank you all enough for your support! The impact we were able to make with your help cannot be understated. Thank you for everything. 💕

THANK YOU to the amazing staff that made Animaru successful over our 6 years of service! Though their tenure at Animaru varied, each maid, butler, and fairy was equally vital! 💕🐾

Staff who did not make an in-person debut were not included. Thank you to the unpictured staff who supported us!

🐾Animaru Memories: 5th Anniversary🐾
This event had just about everything you could want from a standalone maid café; delicious treats, fun performances, and smiles galore! This was also our first time implementing a high tea service for VIPs, offering a more personalized experience through custom tea sandwiches and a matcha ceremony!

🐾Animaru Memories: CritHit! 2023🐾
We switched it up for this tabletop gaming-themed event! Maid Emi created a custom Dungeons & Dragons game for our guests and acted as our Dungeon Master! We even had one of the CritHit founders, Jim, host a game for our guests and maids!
The awesome armor sets some of our maids wore were lovingly made by Maid Emi!

🐾Animaru Memories: Game On Expo 2022🐾
Our first Game On Expo! It was also our first time hosting café events 2 days in a row at a convention! This convention was super fun, despite it being in the middle of the summer at the time and SUPER HOT outside! We're glad GOE ended up moving to April 😅
