Si il y a bien un manga que j’adore lire et qui me fait un bien fou c’est bien celui ci. Je le trouve tellement apaisant, tellement adorable, tellement mignon et tellement beau. C’est un vrai plaisir de se plonger dans la lecture de chaque nouveau tome. J’aime me plonger aux côtés de notre chère Alpha et suivre ses aventures. Ce manga c’est typiquement le genre de lecture qui vous enferme dans une bulle de bien être. Ce n’est pas dans cette histoire que vous allez retrouver un tas d’actions et de rebondissements, bien au contraire. Au final, il ne se passe pas grand chose, du moins des choses tout à fait classique. Et pourtant c’est passionnant à lire. Je trouve qu’il y a vraiment un côté très poétique qui ressort de cette histoire. Enfin vous l’aurez compris je suis absolument fan de cet univers.
Dans ce cinquième tome, on retrouve Alpha. Elle va faire des emplettes à Yokohama, elle doit acheter du café. Elle va profiter d’être en ville pour faire une petite visite surprise à Musashino. Elle va également revivre une vieille expérience. On retrouve aussi Takahiro qui essaye de trouver Misago. Alpha continue de faire des photos qui la rende nostalgique. Son monde continue de s’élargir et elle vit de plus en plus d’expériences.
Je suis toujours aussi intriguée par le personnage de Misago. Elle est tout de même un peu terrifiante on ne va pas se mentir. Mais en même temps elle me fascine. Je la trouve vraiment hypnotisante et j’espère qu’on la verra encore plus dans les prochains tomes, on ne sait pas trop ce qu’elle est ni ce qu’elle fait ici. Je me pose pas mal de questions sur elle et j’ai hâte d’avoir mes réponses. J’aime beaucoup la relation entre Alpha et Musashino, elles sont adorables ensemble et j’aime beaucoup l’amitié qui les unit. Plus les tomes passent et plus je m’attache à Alpha. Elle est toujours pleine de vie, toujours le sourire, elle est adorable et tellement mignonne. C’est vraiment un personnage que j’aime par dessus tout.
J’aime tant le côté apaisant de ce manga. C’est vraiment cette ambiance chill qui me plait tant. C’est le genre de manga qui nous enferme dans une bulle de bien être durant notre lecture. C’est beau, c’est apaisant, c’est poétique. Il me tarde de continuer les aventures de Alpha. Ce manga a vraiment été une révélation pour moi. A sa sortie il me faisait terriblement envie et c’est très vite devenu un de mes mangas préférés. J’aime cette histoire et ses personnages. C’est vraiment plaisant à lire. Je ne me lasse pas des aventures d’Alpha, j’aime tellement son personnage. Je m’en vais de ce pas lire la suite!

Alpha finally visits Kokone and it's cute as heck! Though I think my favourite chapter was the one with the ship, it was so different from most of the other chapters. That, alongside the camera chapter, are shining new light on how 'strange' Alpha is as an entity and I have to wonder more about what makes her so unique.

Las interacciones de alpha con todos son muy naturales y lindas, pero mis favoritas son cuando interactúa con el ojii-san y con la sensei.
Ya que nos permite comprender más sobre el mundo de la obra, como están disfrutando y viviendo los últimos momentos, de los cuales alpha continuará después.

Très doux, ce Japon du futur se concentre sur des moments simples mais qui se révèlent être indispensable. Le simple geste de prendre une photo devient indescriptible. J'aime bcp la candeur d'Alpha

Oh so sending emails is her job. Alright. I thought she was only sending emails to Alpha, but noooo, she sends all the girls emails. And they specifically request her? What if I want an email? Can I have an email?

This will be a spoiler free review. Onto the review!
This is a manga series I picked up on a whim because I saw something about it somewhere and thought it looked cool. It's about this android girl named Alpha who lives in the middle of nowhere and runs a coffee shop. This is a really sweet, cozy manga that will make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I don't want to say much about the plot because it’s really easy to spoil this, but I'll do my best.
Alpha spends most of her time bicycling around the countryside, sitting at the beach, and taking photos. She is friends with the townsfolk from the nearby town, and as the series goes on she makes friends with some people from other cities, including some other androids as well. There’s a really silly email system between androids, which you’ll have to discover for yourself. I will not tell you what that means aside from that it's super gay and very cute. If you are confused, just go read it and you'll immediately understand.
If you are feeling burnt out or need a break from the stresses of life, I think this is the perfect series to read. It's got this tranquil feeling to it that will instantly help you relax. I read it during a busy moment in my life and I realized after I had binged the entire series in one sitting that I really needed exactly what this series offers. It's got enough character development to keep you engaged, but is otherwise all vibes, no plot, so you can just relax and enjoy all the beautiful drawings of the seaside.
I’ll have to see what other manga this mangaka has written, because this was so lovely.
Have a nice day/night everyone!

A post-apocalypse story... that’s actually extremely wholesome, relaxing and uplifting. There’s no darkness, violence, despair or evil to be found within these pages. Nothing but ambient, atmospheric, nature-fueled positivity between the last remnants of humanity and humanoid androids coming together to live peacefully in harmony and give each other the love and support they need to find purpose in their daily lives.
Alpha is a sweet robot girl that runs a cafe at the end of the world. She invites the few guests she receives into her shop to sit down and talk with her over a steaming cup of coffee. She bonds with locals and travelers by sharing heartwarming stories of the past and dreams for the future. They share happy memories in the present rather than dwelling on the past. Communities come together to raise children with hope for a brighter future. The population has decreased immensely, but loneliness has become a thing of the past.
The story plays out in a seaside country with boundless blooming nature with no pollution or industrialization in sight. Nature has reclaimed the earth, sea levels are rising and rich vegetation covers nearly every inch of land. The last survivors of the world respect nature and treat it like a friend rather than as a resource to be abused for profit.
It’s a mature apocalypse story that balances whimsical childlike wonder with coming of age self-discovery and finding contentment in a world that’s been robbed of most living things.
An underrated classic gem.
My rating: 4.5/5

In volume 5, Alpha finally pays Kokone a visit, and readers get to see some interesting scenery in a new place. In one chapter, Alpha meditates on the feelings that the photos in her camera give her, and in another, she discovers that she can astral project. The rest of the chapters are short scenes about life at the sea. It's a bit of a melancholy book, but just a hint. I think I am starting to hear waves when I read these chapters.

I continue to enjoy this as a leisurely read and some of the pages are beautiful. I would love to see a properly translated version in a large format so the art can shine.
