Like dark and complex? Gloomy Salad Days fits the bill. Want psychology? Mystery? Suspense? Gloomy Salad Days has you covered!
Both are sweet slice-of-life story compilations. The Lover is by far more fun and exciting but "hey" I recommend both based on your mood. Happy, fun, and sassy = The Lover. Deep, peaceful, and dramatic = Late Nigh Restaurant.
Late Night Restaurant and Gloomy Salad Days have two very different themes but if you like slice-of-life dramas with a lot of new and unique people involved in every episode, you may enjoy it.
