A young girl named Recette Lemongrass is left to live by herself after her father goes on a long journey. Unfortunately, her dad also left her with a massive debt which is sure to bankrupt them and put them on the streets if it is not paid off. Tear, a fairy sent to collect the payment, suggests that Recette convert her house into an item shop to raise the money to pay it off. For a little while, Recette laments the prospect of being put on the streets, but soon comes to like the idea of being [[Shop Keeper|a merchant]] and christens her newly founded shop "Recettear" (a [[Portmanteau]] of Recette's and Tear's names).

* [[Boring but Practical]]: Louie is the first character you get, and is a pretty standard tank character. While he has no outstanding features, as well as a reliable ranged attack, he has no major weaknesses either, and can dish and take a good deal of punishment.

* [[Boss Rush]]: Unlocked for a given dungeon by completing every floor.

* [[Bottle Fairy]]: Charme.

* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]:

** It's only about the fifth time meeting Elan buying sweets for orphans, discussing his ([[Training from Hell|insane]]) training regimen, or how he's a priest in training that Tear finally realizes that Elan's not so bad in spite of coming across him running up a bar tab he couldn't pay the first time she met him.

** Takes her a while to warm up to Charme as well, but then again, she did try to rob them before.

* [[Nintendo Hard]]: It's not likely that you'll be able to pay off all of your debts on the first try. Fortunately, if you fail to make a payment, you get to [[New Game+|keep all your experience and items]] [[Groundhog Day Loop|and start over from Day 2]].

** More accurate for survival mode, as there is nothing stopping the game [[Blessed with Suck|from 'gifting' you]] with the walnut bread craze random event... which forces you to have a couple of the cheapest item in the game for sale unless you are specifically trying to avoid the housewives.

'''Ticker''': Louie the swordsman bounced check at local cafe, now on the lam.

'''Tear''': ...And, sometimes, the news is like THAT.}}

* [[Young Entrepreneur]]: Recette.

* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: Tear.
