I’ve been wanting to read this manga for ages, but couldn’t find it anywhere. And then, lo and behold! Here they were, deluxe omnibus English editions – three volumes have been published, out of five planned. Yaaaaaaay!!!!!!
We are in a dystopian world, there has been a disaster of some kind. Yet everyone and everything are getting by. Everything is slow, pastoral… and slowly declining. Everything is about cherishing the beauty and fragility of every moment.
Alpha is an android girl who runs a café by the sea (how the café manages to survive is a mystery to me – but no matter, this is not the point). Customers come. There are conversations, stories told, and small adventures. I loved the joyful found family vibes. I loved Takahiro and his grandpa. There is a lot to smile about in little everyday things – when grandpa happens to have too many watermelons, for example, he drives around giving them to *everyone*. It wasn’t quite clear what Alpha did with hers ;)
How was it possible to create so many beautiful scenes? When Alpha played her moon guitar, I swear I could hear the music. The friendship between Alpha and Kokone is lovely. In just a few images, a few words, the book conveys the necessity of finding ways of being yourself, ways that don’t have to be “human”.
The art is amazing, it shines and sings from every page. There were panels I wanted to hug. It was like basking in the sunshine after long winter. This manga is precious, and I am so happy to own it.… (altro)
