Touching manga about the people you connect with working at a cafe

Working at a cafe or bar, you meet a lot of different people. Perhaps you could compare the situation to a watering hole in the savanna. Camera crews know that every animal will eventually come for water, so they stick around to get a shot. At a cafe, everyone needs a pick-me-up and will soon enough make an appearance.

Manga artist Babareo (babareo2) understands this as well. The illustrator published a follower's real-life experience working at a cafe. She became friendly with an older couple who were regular customers. However, one day, something shocking happened. Head's up; it's a bit of a tear-jerker.

It's hard not to feel sad for the older gentleman. But it seems like he knows how to move forward.

Fans reacted to this tear-jerking story:

  • “I cried while reading this. I’m glad he can look forward to the future.”
  • “He changed a ‘memorable but sad place’ into a place where he ‘can feel nostalgic.’ It’s beautiful.”
  • “I totally cried. I want to be like this couple, having a good relationship and always holding hands.”
