大東京ビンボー生活マニュアル Take a moment to stop and take it easy. Serialized in Morning from 1986, this work gained widespread acclaim for its gentle style, depicting the joys of a life of poverty, even during the height of the bubble economy. The manga is filled with the small joys that only a poor person can appreciate, such as the warm interactions between the poor protagonist and those around him, the changing seasons, and ingenious cooking. In addition to the best selection, this issue also includes a significant increase in new pages, including six new stories depicting Kosuke's life after the events of the story, an interview with the author, and a special feature page introducing the shops and food featured in the story.
In addition to his small dining cart, Shogo makes a living with a special skill: a career voucher. For those who needs a loan, a lease, a new credit card, or anything else that needs a voucher, Shogo agrees to be one for any stranger -- for a price. If the loaner "disappears" i.e. escapes, he will make sure the wimp returns to pay back the money he owes.
