What happens

Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou (Japanese: ヨコハマ買い出し紀行; lit. 'Yokohama Shopping Log') is a Japanese science fiction manga series written and illustrated by Hitoshi Ashinano. It was serialized in Kodansha's seinen manga magazine Monthly Afternoon from April 1994 to February 2006, with a concluding postscript episode in May 2006, and collected in 14 tankōbon volumes. Parts of the story were adapted as two original video animation (OVA) anime series of two episodes each, where the latter one is titled Quiet Country Cafe. The series depicts the daily life of an android who runs a coffee shop some time after the Earth's ecology has collapsed. It is noted for its sparse pen-and-ink drawing style, as well as its calm, meticulously paced stories and engaging characters. Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou won the 2007 Seiun Award for best science-fiction comic. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
