Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou Deluxe Edition 1 by Hitoshi Ashinano

Set in a tranquil future Japan long after an environmental catastrophe has reshaped the world, the story follows Alpha Hatsuseno, an android who operates a small café near the coast while waiting for the return of her owner. As humanity gradually recedes and nature slowly reclaims the landscape, Alpha spends her days exploring the countryside, meeting friends, sharing coffee, and appreciating the beauty of everyday life.
