Handsome young calligrapher Seishuu Handa's island life takes a chaotic turn when his only friend, Kawafuji, arrives for a visit—but spotty cell service and a total lack of landmarks make meeting up a hilarious challenge. The confusion only deepens when a mysterious companion named Kyousuke Kamisaki tags along, stirring up fresh trouble in this quirky seaside village.

Satsuki Yoshino's expressive artwork and sharp comedic timing shine as Handa navigates creative block, unexpected guests, and the warmth of his eccentric neighbors. This illustrated edition delivers a heartwarming, laugh-out-loud slice-of-life story that captures the beautiful mess of finding inspiration far from the city.
