Taki Takanosuke no Sanpo Jikan

The premise of this is odd, but somehow this wormed its way into my heart until I found myself truly loving this. It's very sweet. The art style is simple, and sometimes details are tough to make but, but I believe that adds to the charm. This is no five-star gourmet dish served to you over the course of hours, this is a nice bowl of Mom's chicken noodle soup. Take the time out of your day to read it, you won't regret it.

This one is one of these super rare jewels you find in a pile of manga out there, my 3rd time reading it, never get tired of it.

 

[forlorncreed]

It is quite the charming little piece.

 

[shernjr]

Wow, amazing story.

 

[Akaeie]

It's got its own style, more of an artistic thing than a manga.

 

[zenyo]

It's a well deserved 10 ? !
Really the kind of work which grow on you while you read it and leave you at the same time at peace, with a full smile, but craving for more when you finish it.

I'll gladly re-read it in a few months or a few years, and I'm sure I'll love it and find something new in it then.

Possibly the greatest slice of life manga I've come across yet. When I first read it, at age 60, I felt like I wanted to capture Taki's incredible kindness and exuberance for life (it made me get off my retired otaku butt and take long walks and start using my bowflex). I think that Asami Mart has perfected what only a few writers and mangaka achieve, which is creating characters that I would love to sit down to tea or a meal with and listen to and talk to until my throat was dry, and also a setting I would be totally happy living in. As I posted some time ago on bato.to, this manga makes me want to go out and build a clock tower. (Of course it doesn't hurt that one of my enthusiasms is love of antique clocks and pocket watches!) If you haven't read this before, open chapter one and prepare for a gentle and nostalgic journey that rivals Ashinano Hitoshi's best works.

Such a good manga, pretty chill and breezy mmm...

 

[DemonHide]

A subtle but absolute masterpiece for people of all ages. This is a must-read! One can only hope to have lived so fully by Mr. Taki's age and still enjoy the gentle ebb and flow of the simple things in life.

I’m not crying! This is just the sweat from my heart.

 

[Lynkaster]

don't be deceive by the summary, this is a really nice, cozy, and heartfelt story.

It is really cute, moving sometimes and inspiring at other. If you have some time or is looking to have a good read, read this, you won't regret it.

thank you very much to the translation team and hats down to the author

This manga have a chewy feeling in it

 

[Chromoz]

Really like this one, at first i thought it will be some old guy making women fall in love with him without him knowing. But it turned out much better. It has some warm feeling with the artstyle and less talk but the last few chapters makes things a little sad.

Spoiler

Man if he didnt interupt her at the end, maybe they might have kids.

But still he seems satisfied at the end.

The execution is very nice, but at the core it's still just a harem fantasy.

 

[KajurN]

Re-reading this it feels like it ended too soon. Just enough to know about him and his life and a bit of the lives of the women he met too.

 

[StormyR]

Slow at start but heartwarming.

 

[xinipibos]

What a lovely reading.

I love how it introduced the characters one by one, and how it all meshed together and came down to create a simple but intricately woven story.

The characters are well rounded. They are given enough exposition to know what they are and somewhat grow on you, but without saturating their characters so much that you tire of them.

The art is also beautiful. It is reminiscent of older works, and is refreshing to the eyes. The way the background, the landscape, even the people are drawn is designed to not let you be tired of looking at it. And it's not exaggerated: it is neither lacking in details that would make it bland, but nor is it crowded that it would strain your eyes.

Overall, I'd like to say that even if it was a short series, it was one that is very meaningful and beautiful. Hopefully, this can be read by a lot of people, who are tired of the everyday grind, to find time to just aimlessly wander.
