Hitoshi Ashinano's critically acclaimed and award-winning manga, which inspired the 1998 OVA, is to be released in omnibus volumes by Seven Seas. Lauded for its spare pen and ink drawing style, the series won the 2007 Seiun Award for best Science Fiction Comic.

Bundled into 5 volumes, the first of which will be released in August, the series will be translated and released in English for the first time.

Synopsis From the Press Release:

Set hundreds of years in the future after an environmental catastrophe, Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou (also known as Yokohama Shopping Log) centers on the simple life of Alpha, an android who runs a small coffee shop in coastal Japan. Alpha stands witness to chronicle the end of humanity’s days with coffee, a slice of watermelon, and the sound of her moon guitar backed by distant seagulls. Quiet and bittersweet, this tale is about the melancholy beauty that can be found even as the end approaches.
