Don't miss this moving, critically acclaimed classic manga (which inspired the anime) about an android running a coffee shop in a slowly dying Japan--published in English for the first time in oversized omnibus editions!

In a future Japan, long after an environmental catastrophe, Alpha the android runs a small café in a seaside town. As she wonders if her absent owner will ever return, she stands witness to the twilight of humanity with coffee, a slice of watermelon, and the sound of her moon guitar. Alpha and her fellow residents enjoy the melancholy beauty of life, even as the end approaches. Savor chapters 1-24 of this beloved manga classic in English for the first time, in this deluxe five-volume set.

Really enjoyed this. I adore slice-of-life works, especially with little vignettes like this one. I like that they haven't explained the worldbuilding in depth, but I also really appreciate the dialect note and couple of explanations of certain words/images at the back. I don't think I've ever read something so firmly post-apocalyptic (this isn't a save-the-world story) but so warm and gentle. I will definitely read the next volume.
