Une douce odeur de café #[nn]

Two round-eyed figures sit across from each other at a small café table, each cradling a warm cup — there's something quietly tender and unhurried about the scene that draws you in immediately. Naoto Yamakawa's distinctive, textured linework gives the whole image a cozy, almost handcrafted feeling, perfectly suited to a story framed around the gentle ritual of sharing coffee. Published by Pika Édition in 2018, Une douce odeur de café promises the kind of intimate, slice-of-life manga that rewards slow, attentive reading.
