Makoto has been clumsy since birth and has never been able to lead anything but a mediocre life. This life was the same as his father's. Small, seemingly insignificant anecdotes, but full of subtlety and insight, and above all, imbued with a heartwarming tenderness, inspired by the true life of Yarou Abe, the author of Midnight Diner, who grew up in Shimanto, in the Kochi Prefecture, in the south of Shikoku Island.

Yaro Abe, the creator of the manga ``Midnight Diner,'' which has sold a total of 4 million copies, and Fumio Sako, a manga artist and writer.

Contains two works from the same manga that deal with food in Kochi, as well as the newly written ``Shimanto Shokudo.'' A supplementary reading book for ``Midnight Diner'' that describes the ultimate gourmet food and the taste of one's hometown, which can be said to be the origin of the popular manga.
