This is the latest work by the manga duo ume, known for their meticulously researched storytelling, including the 'Tokyo Toy Box' series.

The book compiles 10 stories originally published in 2018 on the real estate website 'Suns House,' plus one newly drawn chapter. Starting from Yanaka-Sendagi, the story meanders through various Tokyo neighborhoods such as Minami-Senju, Ogu, Oshiage, Oji, Nishike-no-hara, Mejiro, Jiyugaoka, Nishi-Nippori, and Jimbocho.

Each chapter includes actual maps of the featured neighborhoods, allowing readers to enjoy retracing the characters' footsteps in real life. Why not take a stroll through Tokyo with this book in hand?
