Yokohama Shopping Log

📖 SYNOPSIS

"Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou" presents a slice-of-life narrative centered on Alpha, a robot who operates a small cafe on the outskirts of a future Yokohama. The city is largely submerged, with roads replaced by sand and water. Alpha's days are spent in quiet solitude, punctuated by the occasional visit from the old man who runs the nearby gasoline stand and his grandson, Takahiro. The cafe sees few customers, but Alpha finds contentment in her simple existence, awaiting the return of her owner who is on indefinite leave. The anime explores themes of peace, the beauty of a changing world, and the value of human connection, even in a world populated by robots. It focuses on the everyday moments and the gentle rhythm of life in a post-apocalyptic setting.
