Synopsis

Arriving from Tokyo, fine arts student Katsura Tatsuki observes daily life in Kobe while attending Kobe University; from its diverse array of characters inhabiting it, to its ongoing recovery from being hit by the Great Hanshin Earthquake. Rather than having an overarching plot, the manga is composed of self-contained, episodic stories.[1]
