今週のお題「梅
In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there's a story about Cao Cao and the phrase "Thinking of plums relieves thirst."
Maybe today's theme, "plum", was my own plum.
Funny how the things we long for can stay on our minds all day.
I just hope I get to eat some plum rice soon... ♡
Author's Note
In Japan, there are many discussions about foreign workers and immigration.
Most of those discussions are about people coming from other countries.
But who knows? Maybe one day we'll be talking about immigrants from outer space.
While working on this comic, I remembered the English saying:
"That's a political hot potato."
Since this story is about potatoes, aliens, and misunderstandings, Potato seemed like the perfect title.
今週のお題「じゃがいも」
Having healthy parents, good friends, and good health myself.
Those moments feel like they'll last forever, but they pass more quickly than we think.
I believe it's important to recognise how lucky we are while we still have them.
Sometimes, being lucky isn't about getting more.
It's about noticing what you already have.

A Message from the Author
In recent years, I have often seen videos on social media in which visitors to Japan express their amazement at the country's safety and cleanliness. At the same time, however, it is unfortunate but undeniable that there are also those who disregard the customs and rules that help preserve these qualities.
Yet perhaps it is precisely because such behavior exists that the quiet kindness, consideration, and thoughtfulness of countless ordinary people have become more visible. These small acts, often unnoticed even by those who perform them, are what truly support and shape the society we experience every day.

I really like Shibahama because it has warmth and humanity, while also offering a meaningful lesson. I’m especially fond of the wife’s wisdom, and of the ending’s gentle irony and humor. I deeply admire the wit and storytelling of those who came before us, and I hope for a world filled with more laughter and smiles.
