Unlike his earlier creation, Whimsical Orange Road, Matsumoto Izumi's Sesame Street is more grounded in reality. There is no one with special powers, no mysterious people with questionable pasts, no outrageous plots. In many ways, Sesame Street is more whimsical than Orange Road. This strict adherence to reality is no accident. The author nicknames his work a "Downtown Comedy". The setting for this comic is in the heart of Tokyo, one of Japan's most congested cities. Many of the plots are derived from real life problems common in Japan. For example, half the second volume is about a "Jiageya" who cheats the family out of their home. "Jiageya" literally means "Land Snatcher", a derogatory term for land speculators who cheat people of their land and reap huge profits from the impacted real estate market.

The manga is about ten-year-old Chie, "the most unfortunate girl in Japan," who manages her family diner while her unemployed yakuza father and her mother are separated. *Note: Jarinko Chie won the 26th Shogakukan Manga Award for best general manga in 1981.*

That day, I was going to confess my feelings. I was going to confess my feelings to Tokiwa Nagisa, a kouhai who had confessed her love to me many times. Alone on the rooftop, I was supposed to tell her how I feel and finally become lovers—but I got caught up in a “Confession Quartet,” a game about love and romance. If you fall in love during the game, you are promised “Eternal Love” by the power of magic, but if your love is not fulfilled, it will be as if it never existed in the first place. In other words, you go back to the relationship you had before you fell in love. “I want to cherish the process of love with the person I love, without the guarantee of eternal love.” “If I can’t have eternal love, I’d rather forget this feeling altogether.” In the face of such an ultimate choice, I start to defy this game—
