[excerpt, from about 25 minutes in:

“The author… does sci-fi tinged stories, but it’s a kind of mundane sci-fi… taking place in a future with fascinating things like androids, but [concerning] somebody’s daily life”, “…from the panel layouts and how they tell their narrative, this feels like a western comic, but the art touch feels like an old-school adult manga like you might find in a newspaper (distinct from seinen or gekiga manga)”, “one of my favorite stories is ‘David’…”, “I was really taken aback… when I saw a picture of the hamburglar”.]
