What is Hyakunichi Coffee about?

Status: Releasing

"Memories anchor me to the past, but dreams carry me to the future."

Seeking to connect with her roots, Xiaoming leaves her familiar life in Japan and crosses the ocean to attend university in Taiwan, her late father's homeland. But navigating a foreign country completely alone proves harder than she imagined. Struggling just to find a place to live before the semester starts, a disheartened Xiaoming wanders into Treasure Hill, a historic and tranquil settlement quietly breathing in the heart of Taipei.

Hidden within its winding alleys is "Hyakunichi Coffee," a quiet coffee shop steeped in an intriguing urban legend: it is said to solve the deepest troubles of anyone who walks through its doors. Run by the enigmatic owner, Meng, the cafe is more than just a place to rest: it operates as a secret "Dream Laboratory" that delves into the fragments of people's memories.

"Why does my father keep speaking to me in my dreams?"

Guided by the memories of the Chestnut Tiger, a fragile butterfly known to migrate 2,000 kilometers across the sea, Xiaoming embarks on a surreal journey through "Memory Palaces," transcending the boundaries of time and space.

No man can resist Ono's charms (or his cooking skills!) but he has just found a new position under a man named Tachibana.

Ristorante Paradiso

Also known as Ristorante Paradiso.

Status: Finished
Genres: Drama , Slice of Life

At the age of 21, Nicoletta travels to Rome to find her mother, Olga, who abandoned her long ago. Nicoletta finds her at Casetta dell'Orso, a charming little restaurant owned by Olga's husband. The staff of bespectacled gentlemen welcomes Nicoletta warmly, but Olga's reception is not so pleasant. Olga has never told her husband that she ever had children--and he must never know.

In exchange for Nicoletta's playing "the daughter of an old friend," Olga offers Nicoletta a place to live and an apprenticeship at the restaurant. Nicoletta fits in well among the unique personalities at Casetta dell'Orso. She gets along particularly well with the kindly headwaiter, Claudio, a divorced man who, after years, has still never taken off his wedding ring. As Nicoletta's feelings for Claudio become complicated, she finds a sympathetic ear in Olga, leading the estranged pair to form a friendship neither expected. But as they grow closer, the pressure exerted by the secret they share becomes too much to bear.

Also known as Mushishi.

Status: Finished
Genres: Drama , Fantasy , Mystery , Slice of Life , Supernatural

Some live in the deep darkness behind your eyelids. Some eat silence. Some thoughtlessly kill. Some simply drive men mad. They are known as mushi—creatures that came into being shortly after life emerged from the primordial ooze. They still exist parallel to our own lives and can only be seen by a select few. As a mushishi, Ginko is one of the few who are aware of their existence, and this young man with a sardonic smile roams from place to place with the knowledge and skill to aid those unwittingly affected by mushi.
