The story is set in a peaceful post-cataclysmic world where mankind is in decline after an environmental disaster. What that disaster is, the reader is never told, but sea levels have risen significantly, inundating many coastal cities such as Yokohama. The reduced human population has reverted to a simpler life, and the reader is told that humans are witnessing the twilight of their age. Instead of raging against their fate, there seems to be a quiet acceptance.
Yokohama Kaidashi Kikō is noted for its beautifully spare pen and ink drawing style, as well as its calm, meticulously paced stories and engaging characters. Some of the chapters have no dialogue at all, and in most of the stories the dialogue only amounts to a few lines.

I really love this manga, and untill now I never know why. It maybe the simple but et deep storyline, or the fact that we never know the mystery surrounding what really happened, or it's just that the human interaction is really good in the story. It's just a really really good read
