The series is Alice-san chi no Iroribata and I've been the translator since Chapter 10. Cozy setting, cozy artwork, nice romance without a whole lot of drama. I don't know about linking right to fan translations so I'll assume that you know how to find it if you read those.
A decade or so ago, I was riding a little 125cc motorbike along this insanely dusty road on Cebu Island in the Philippines. It was so hot and humid, and I was just pouring sweat off me even with the wind from being on the bike. I got off and went into this little country store on the side of the road, and they had a fridge full of cokes in glass bottles, 300mL or so. I took one and gulped it down before even paying. It was real cane sugar, not the weird corn syrup stuff we get in Japan, and it must have been the best, most refreshing thing I ever tasted. I had another one on the spot, and took one more for the road.
It was just a bottle of coke, but I still remember it years later.
