We rejoin Tooru heading into the 21st century, some 10 years after he first discovered his power to become invisible. Sometime in his 2nd year of high school, his powers stopped working, and he's managed to become a productive member of society. Then, one day, his aunt asks him to clean up the freezer, and he discovers an old container of salmon roe that had frozen away in a corner. Miraculously, the roe in this container still activates his power! And of course, Tooru's still not quite restrained enough to not use this power again...
Two competing restaurants stand across the street from each other: The Oden restaurant called Yukie, and the rice-based restaurant called Meshiya.

The two of them meet for secret romantic trysts, dreaming of the day when they can marry and build a restaurant with both oden and rice. This will only become a reality, though, if they can reconcile whatever is standing between their parents and finally gain approval for their love! *Note: This series was discontinued.*

From Ponent Mon: Seventeen authors (nine from France or French-speaking countries, eight from Japan) brought together in the same book, a succession of freely created short stories about the same universe: Japan. The French, of course, journeyed to Japan for the occasion. Each cartoonist was sent for two weeks to a different city in the archipelago (Joann Sfar in Tôkyô, Emmanuel Guibert in Kyôto, Nicolas de Crécy in Nagoya, etc.) to bring back an original creation. The Japanese tell us about their district, the city where they live or where they originally come from (Kazuichi Hanawa's story being about the northern island of Hokkaido, Jiro Taniguchi's about the town of Tottori, etc.) The result is often inspired, always surprising: Japan through new eyes. "Japan" will appear simultaneously in French, Japanese, Spanish, Italian and English. Along with "A Patch Of Dreams" by Hideji Oda, it is the first step in a series of international creations with left-to-right reading direction, created for us by some of the best European and Japanese comic book artists.
