If you mean the main manga series 'Coffee & Vanilla', it's a bit fiddly to pin down a single, forever-correct number because the count depends on whether you include one-shots, extras, and spin-offs. From what I tracked up through mid-2024, the main series runs at roughly a hundred chapters — give or take a handful — collected across about twenty-ish tankōbon volumes. Different releases (magazine vs. collected volumes) sometimes shuffle short extras or combine chapters differently, which is why exact counts can wobble.
If you want a precise, current tally I usually check the publisher's volume list or a reliable manga database and count the chapter lists for each volume. Also remember there’s at least one spin-off/side-story linked to 'Coffee & Vanilla' that has its own chapters, so clarify whether you want only the main storyline or everything connected to the franchise. For casual reading, saying “around 100 chapters” usually gets you close enough to find your place in the series.

I still grin thinking about this one — the central romance in 'Coffee & Vanilla' is the big, slow-burn pairing between Risa (the shy college/young-woman heroine) and Hiroto Fukami (the elegant, older CEO who swoops into her life). Their dynamic is classic shojo: huge age/experience gap, protective-alpha vibes from him, and awkward-but-sincere growth from her. The story follows how they navigate trust, jealousy, and public/private images as their relationship deepens.
Beyond those two, the series peppers in smaller romantic threads involving friends, rivals, and coworkers — some get cute little arcs, others mostly exist to highlight Risa and Hiroto's struggles. If you like exploring character interactions, pay attention to Risa’s friends and colleagues; they often bring humour, conflict, or alternate romantic templates that contrast with the main couple. Personally, I love how the side relationships make the world feel lived-in and give the leads room to grow rather than existing in a vacuum.

I get the Coffee & Vanilla vibe — the shy heroine, the older/more mature lead, and those soft-but-steamy moments — and I’ve hunted down a bunch of similar reads that hit the same cozy-but-intense spot.
If you like the older-man/younger-woman dynamic with emotional buildup, start with 'Koi wa Ameagari no You ni'. It’s quieter and more melancholic, with a heroine who’s navigating adult feelings while working in a café. For a workplace-locked-romance with a very protective, impossibly competent male lead, 'Midnight Secretary' scratches that itch: grown-up stakes, sensual tension, and a heroine who grows into her confidence. 'Happy Marriage?!' gives the arranged/contract-marriage trope delivered with heat and humor — the power imbalance and slow thaw will feel familiar.
I also recommend 'Kimi wa Pet' for a weirder, more unconventional take on romance between adults, and 'Hana Yori Dango' if you want the rich-dominant-love interest energy but with teenage melodrama. Each of these leans into emotional payoff and the “older, domineering type who still makes you feel safe” fantasy in different flavors, so try one based on whether you want angsty, sweet, or steamy. I personally cycle between these depending on mood — sometimes I need the slow-simmer of 'Midnight Secretary', other times the messy romance of 'Happy Marriage?!' is exactly the binge I want.

I usually tell friends to just follow the publication order for 'Coffee & Vanilla' — it’s the simplest and smoothest way to experience the characters growing up. Start with volume 1 and go straight through in order. The main arc is built like a romance TV series: early volumes set up the chemistry and power dynamics, middle volumes deepen conflicts and reveal backstory, and the later ones pay off emotional beats. If you’re reading physical volumes, the collected editions usually include short omakes or bonus chapters at the end; I always read those right after each main chapter because they’re light and often give cute little epilogues to scenes that felt unresolved.
If you find any extra chapters published in magazines or as digital specials, tuck those in after the volume they correspond to — they’re generally side snapshots rather than essential plot. And if you’re curious about adaptations, watch the live-action series only after volume 2 or 3 so you don’t spoil the manga’s later developments; it’s fun for casting and seeing moments visualized, but the manga is where the full emotional arc lives. Personally I like sipping a real coffee while reading this series — the vibes match perfectly.

I've been hunting down shoujo/josei reads on my commute, and 'Coffee & Vanilla' popped up in the usual spots for me. I found official English releases available digitally—Kindle and ComiXology carried volumes last time I checked, and sometimes BookWalker has e-book editions too.
If you like physical books, there are occasional paperback imports and English printings listed on places like Barnes & Noble, Right Stuf, or Amazon. They can go in and out of stock, so I usually set a wishlist or price alert. If you prefer borrowing, WorldCat and local library catalogs sometimes show English copies, or the libraries can request them.
If you want to be certain it's legit, look for a publisher credit on the listing and an ISBN. That helps avoid gray-market scans. For me, reading 'Coffee & Vanilla' with a latte (truly) felt perfect—it's an easy, romantic binge. Try digital first if you want instant access, then hunt a physical copy if you like collecting.

There's a really cozy feeling when a romance wraps up neatly, and with 'Coffee & Vanilla' that sense of closure is pretty much what I got. From what I followed through mid-2024, the main serialized storyline reached a proper ending rather than spawning a continuous sequel series. The mangaka gave readers small epilogue-ish pages and extra chapters from time to time—those little bonus shorts that revisit characters after the finale, not a whole new season of plot. I found a couple tucked into later volumes and magazine specials that act like tiny follow-ups rather than an actual sequel saga.
If you want the most solid confirmation, I usually check the publisher's Japanese website and the author's social posts (they often announce one-shots or side chapters). For English readers, digital stores like BookWalker or the publisher’s overseas pages list those extras too. So, short version: no full official sequel series, but yes—some epilogue/extra content exists that scratches that “what happened next?” itch.

I was leafing through the romance shelf at a tiny café the other day when I stumbled back into 'Coffee & Vanilla' in my head — and that’s what made me finally look it up. Good news if you hate waiting for anime: 'Coffee & Vanilla' has been adapted into a live-action Japanese TV drama, so you can see the characters brought to life without an anime version existing. The drama follows the basic beats of the manga but, like most live-action adaptations, trims and reshapes scenes to fit episodes and runtime.
Personally, I found it a fun, sometimes glossy take that captures the melodrama and the chemistry, even if some quieter character moments from the panels get compressed. If you want something faithful to the tone rather than frame-for-frame fidelity, give the drama a shot. No official anime series has been announced or released as of mid-2024, so the live-action is your best bet for a screen version right now.

Vanilla isn't great for cats. While it's not considered toxic, some cats can be sensitive to strong scents, and vanilla extracts often contain alcohol, which isn’t safe for them. It's always better to stick to cat-safe treats and scents. Nature knows best!
