The Tokyo ice cream shop looks like something that IG user: tokyobuild would re-create.

I'm going to dream about that ice cream stand.

Was it ice cream (hard ice cream scooped by hand)? or "soft serve" (extruded from a nozzle)? We loved the many soft serve treats we had in Japan and some in very odd settings, like an ice cream shop inside of a giant auto parts store (AutoBacs). Crazy cool flavors, like "rose." My fave was a grey-colored confection (and I was was warned by the server "NOT licorice!")--it was kurogoma (black sesame seed). I can get kurogoma -flavored shakes here in Seattle at Katsu Burger!

Hey Mark, I think you need to add a zero onto the number of copies sold in the last story.
