A Note from the Author
It’s that time of year when the summer heat can really drain your energy and appetite. Eating only cold foods isn’t always the best idea, but at the same time, you may not feel like eating anything hot.
When I feel this way, I like to watch YouTube videos of people enjoying delicious food. Somehow, just watching them eat makes me hungry again.
So, to be honest, my real “recipe” for surviving the summer heat might simply be… watching food channels on YouTube!

When I learned about wheat addiction, it made me think. Sometimes I suddenly really want to eat bread, pasta, or ramen. I think I may have been addicted to wheat.
It has only been a few days since I stopped eating wheat, but I feel like I have some withdrawal symptoms.
I think the best time to change is when you decide to change.
So I'm going to do my best and continue avoiding wheat for a while.

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.

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.

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.
