On his final day as an editor, Shiozawa takes a train he's ridden hundreds of times to impart some last advice to a manga creator whose work he used to edit. Later, he is drawn to return to a bookshop at the request of a junior editor who wants his help dealing with an incorrigible manga creator who used to be edited by Shiozawa and now refuses to work with anyone else. For Shiozawa, Tokyo these days is full of memory and is cocooned in the inescapable bonds among manga creators, their editors, art, and life itself.

Tokyo Higoro ranked fifth in the 2022 Kono Manga ga Sugoi! for the Male Readers division.

The series was published in English as Tokyo These Days by VIZ Media under the VIZ Signature imprint from January 16, 2024, to September 17, 2024.
