Nomi Joshi

Nomi Joshi centers on three twenty-nine-year-old women bound by a deep friendship and a shared enthusiasm for alcohol. Michiko Takase, an office worker, favors beer above all else. Misono Miyauchi, a bookstore employee recognized by her short hair and muscular build, has a strong preference for sake. Yuki Shinonome, a distinctly feminine housewife, enjoys sampling every type of drink she encounters. Together, the trio makes it a point to gather regularly, turning their social outings into dedicated celebrations of their favorite beverages. The story follows these friends as they explore a variety of drinking establishments and leisure destinations, ranging from relaxing hot springs and lively beer gardens to intimate bars. During each outing, they take pleasure in tasting diverse drinks and carefully pairing them with delicious side dishes. Between sips and bites, their conversations flow naturally through the everyday realities of their lives. They discuss the demands of their respective jobs, share stories about their families, and exchange lighthearted advice on practical matters, such as how to stay warm while wearing skirts during colder weather. Through these candid moments of indulgence and camaraderie, the manga paints a warm, engaging portrait of adult friendship centered around the simple joy of drinking together.
