This manga by Naoto Yamakawa is steeped in the aroma of roasted coffee beans and of newly brewed coffee. It is a celebration of coffee and its rituals, and in a series of stories about all manner of things, a number of life stories are pictured in which coffee and the consumption thereof plays a crucial role.

A story depicting a man in black, taking photos of the past with his old camera.

Somewhere in this city there is someone waiting for me. There is an encounter waiting for me. The story of Michikusa that connects today and tomorrow. A warm, sad story of the people of Ichii drawn by Yamakawa Naoto in "Koohii Mou Ippai". A magical book in which the unique style of painting, all handwritten, spun out kindness from the loneliness of the city.

How far does a young man have to walk before he can be called a man? How far does he have to go before he can face himself? The journey of the heart begins now. (Source: Shogakukan, translated)
