TAB - Manga: Yokohama Shopping Log

Manga: Yokohama Shopping Log

Well, I read 118 chapters of the YKK manga. It's, I think, more satisfying than the OVA series. They both have the same, slow, slice of life pace to them, but the manga, which has been running forever, is more satisfying as it has time to develope the characters and world more.

I really want to see where this is going, but at the rate of a chapter a month, the story could take forever to finish. But I think the point of the YKK is that the getting there is more important than the story.

I'll rate this manga good, and say I'm looking forward to more chapters being scanslated.

Getting there is more important that the story? Isn't that saying, essentially, that the story is more important than the story?

If not (and I'm assuming not since that would be silly), what do you mean?

Hm... I think that there's an underlying story to YKK, which is the story of the postapocalyptic world, and how it got this way. But it's told very slowly, underneath all of the slice-of-life stories involving the main characters.
