Alcohole Communication

At Aruko Hole, college students, salary workers, freeters, and unsuccessful musicians come to mingle. Tomo and Nao, two people from different walks of life, happen to meet one day at Aruko Hole. Despite their differences, they drunkenly become friends and start attending art exhibit “dates” together on the weekends. Their past and present anxieties burden them. But, as they reveal their worries to each other, their relationship becomes essential to both of them.

This volume also contains a spin-off story about between a former musician and his “pure” but loyal friend and a one-shot about a pair working to improve their communication skills.
