"Lunch at 'Benoit Tokyo',
a French restaurant in Omotesando"
Oh no, I've done it now.
Right after entering the shop, I had already made a huge mistake.
Oh no.
Hello.
Actually, I made a mistake earlier.
I confidently used the men's restroom. Ugh.
There I was, talking about the restroom as my very first words at a stylish French restaurant.
Oh no.
There are three lunch courses.
Appetizer + Main + Dessert
Appetizer (x2) + Main + Dessert
Appetizer + Main (x2) + Dessert
This restaurant has a huge number of appetizer and main dish options even for the courses.
Wow, I'm so lost!
Should I get the 'Gratin of Oysters in the Shell' for the appetizer?
I want to have the scallops for the main... hmm.
The time spent thinking about 'how to assemble my own course'
is surely one of the pleasures of being an adult.
Maybe soup would be nice too. The lobster cocotte. Okay.
I've decided.
The top floor of a building where light pours in.
Pure white tablecloths and red sofa seats.
The hall staff's aprons and masks are also coordinated in red.
They look a bit like Power Rangers. Strong, but beautiful.
The broccoli soup I chose for the appetizer arrived first.
Thank you for waiting.
Huh?
There was something like cheese sitting alone on a white plate.
Then, the soup was poured from a pitcher.
I was surprised.
Wow, it's so broccoli-y. Delicious.
I've heard that when soup is served in French cuisine, you should drink it from the tip of the spoon. Is that true?
I'll try it just in case.
I raced through the main, dessert, and coffee.
It was delicious and fun.
Looking around at the people nearby,
in this place, right now,
there wasn't a single person who was worried.
Even if they were actually carrying various problems,
it was as beautiful as a single photograph."

"Without expecting anything, without despairing, people can still go on living--. A moving masterpiece, the author's longest work to date, that will shake your heart with its unexpected developments! Natsuko, a 32-year-old manga artist, is spending her second spring living in a mask. Feeling uneasy about social inequality and pondering things said casually by others, Natsuko draws 'now' in her manga. Because by drawing, she can face the world, others, and herself. Why is it so wonderful to 'understand each other'--? A story dedicated to 'you' who lives by cherishing your own 'likes'."
