  Chris: They do have Halo Halo available here in Hawaii~! I've never tried it though, but it's a popular snack of the Philippines.

  Interestingly enough, there are a lot of names of shaved ice. Some people call it Ice Shave (on the Big Island), Japanese call it Kakigouri... others call it a "snow cone".. XD

  We call it a snow cone in Australia :) Actually, my faveroite place to buy them is a store at our local markets called "Hawiian Shaved Ice" :P They're really nice ^^

  Bubble tea will do the same thing! XD I bet Nemu would love the tapioca bubbles.

  Halo halo is like a whole bunch of stuff in milk. 'Halo halo' means mix or medley, so they put anything in it. Most of the time, there's fruit (though I don't know the names of most of them), tapioca and nata de coco (coconut jelly cubes). I'm Filipino, so I've had it at family parties a lot, and it's really good!

  Snowcones are great! They really DO look like rainbows in cups!

  I just noticed there's Mister Bun Bun by the bag. I almost forgot Anpan sent him on vacation...

  Aww...no shave ice for Mister Bun? I'm surprised Nemu didn't insist that he get some too... ^_^

  And you know, every time I think this comic can't possibly get any cuter, it does. I love it. ^_^;;

  I love the srawberry, banana and lime flavors!(red, yellow, and green}^_^ This part makes me thirsty for shave ice! The hest place is on Haleiwa side and Kapahulu ave.(I don't know the streets but now it's moved near Rainbows.)

  Ah sorry! I meant to spell the "best" place for shave ice! I misspelled best!

  Poor Mr. Buns doesn't get any! LOL!
  I love shave ice! One of my favorite places for shave ice is Waiola!

  This makes me want to go to North Shore and stand in line for Matsumoto's!!
  What if you two did a photoshoot with Nemu and Anpan with an actual rainbow shave ice from Matsumoto's?! That would be SO adorable!

  Best Shaved Ice? the one with the Scoop of Ice Cream inside!

  Great comic. Artwork reminds me of Azumanga Daioh! Keep up the great work!

  I'm surprised no one has asked or mentioned this yet, but that looks a lot like Waiolas in Mo'ili'ili. Is it? It's way too not crowded for Matsumoto's…
