Yokohama Shopping Log (ヨコハマ買い出し紀行, Yokohama Kaidashi Kikō), also known as Record of a Yokohama Shopping Trip or just Yokohama Shopping Trip, is a seinen manga written and illustrated by Hitoshi Ashinano. One tankōbon volume, the publisher's former English language website, and the second original video animation series have the subtitle Quiet Country Cafe in English.
The manga was serialized in Kodansha's Monthly 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.
Plot[]
This is not so much a story as it is a slice of life. Or rather, it is a look into portions of the life of a girl named Alpha, together with the people around her. Alpha runs a little cafe on the outskirts of Yokohama. There are almost no customers, but Alpha does not mind at all since she has the occasional company of the old man who runs the gasoline stand down the road, as well as that of his grandson Takahiro. This is a Yokohama of the future, when the sea covers most of the land and roads have disappeared under sand or water. Alpha is, in fact, a robot, looking after the cafe during her owner's indefinite leave of absence.
