Overview
The comic is set in postwar Japan between 1955 and 1964 and focuses on stories illustrating the humor and pathos of ordinary life in the Japan of that era, mainly about the residents of the fictional Tokyo neighborhood of "San-Chome" - "Third Block". However, many stories take place with one-story characters (not only people but animals and legendary creatures) and in other parts of Japan.
