Yokohama Kaidashi Kikō (ヨコハマ買い出し紀行, Yokohama Kaidashi Kikō) is a science fiction manga written and illustrated by Hitoshi Ashinano.
The title can be translated Yokohama Shopping Log or Record of a Yokohama Shopping Trip. One tankōbon volume, the publisher's English language website, and the
second original video animation (OVA) series have the subtitle Quiet Country Cafe in English. The series is often referred to in wapuro romaji as Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, or simply abbreviated as YKK by fans outside of Japan.
The manga was serialized in Kodansha's Afternoon magazine from June 1994 to February 2006, with a concluding postscript
episode in July 2006, and collected in 14 tankōbon volumes. Parts of the
story were adapted as two OVA anime series of two episodes each.
The series depicts the daily life of a robot who runs a coffee shop some
time after the Earth's ecology has collapsed. It is noted for its beautifully
spare pen-and-ink drawing style, as well as its calm, meticulously paced
stories and engaging characters.
Yokohama Kaidashi Kikō is set in a peaceful, post-cataclysmic world where mankind is in decline
after an environmental disaster. Exactly what happened is never explained,
but sea levels have risen significantly, inundating coastal cities such
as Yokohama, and Mount Fuji erupted in living memory. The reduced human
population has reverted to a simpler life, and the reader is told this
is the twilight of the human age. Instead of raging against their fate,
humans are quietly accepting.
Alpha Hatsuseno is an android ("robot person") who runs an out-of-the-way
coffee shop, Café Alpha, on the lonely coast of the Miura Peninsula of
Japan, while her human "owner" is on a trip of indefinite length.
Though she spends much of her time alone, Alpha is cheerful, gregarious,
and—unlike the slowly declining humans—immortal.
