Tobeshita, a regular office worker, is always free on many off his scheduled day offs, which shows his lonely personality. On the other end of the spectrum, there's Kamitsukasa, a beautiful, competent lady who serve as his own boss on the outside. In reality she has a crazed hobby of driving, who shows off her skills on point that would scare an everyday average passenger. In spite of this oddity of hers, Tobeshita seems to be on her sights, when his heart doesn't stop pounding upon looking on her. It is a tale of comedy mixed in with travelling.

Where Are You Going Today? (今日どこさん行くと? Kyou doko-san ikuto?) is a Slice of Life manga series written by Tomori Kanokogi. It was firstly serialised by Comic Cune on 27 August 2018, before concluding with three volumes and 21 chapters on 27 January 2020.

Where Are You Going Tropes?

  • Armour-Piercing Question: When Kamitsukasa questioned why Tobeshita is always free in his day off, revealing that he's alone all the time, much to his shock.
    Kamitsukasa: Tobeshita... You're always free on your days off aren't you?
    Tobeshita: Eh!?
  • Character Development: Tobeshita. In his free days he was often considered a loner, much to his dismay when his manager told all of it to Kamitsukasa. Though in the subsequent chapters he breaks that shell itself when he becomes interested with her driving and her quirk of travelling.
  • First-Name Basis: Tobeshita, Kamitsukasa, Yuge and Suga all call each other by their first name. Examples including Tobeshita calling Kamitsukasa by her name rather than by calling her "boss", given that he has fallen in love with her.
  • Iyashikei: A heart-pounding, comedic story about two people on a road trip across Japan's streets and landmarks.
  • Love at First Sight: Tobeshita is shown to have feelings towards Kamitsukasa, as shown when he mostly complimented her driving skills. In Volume 1, Chapter 3 Tobeshita blushed in front of her when she patted his own head, with her telling him "cute".
  • Minimalist Cast: Both Tobeshita and Kamitsukasa appear recurringly as the manga's characters, before Yuge and Suga joined in. The supporting ones, on the other hand, appear at only one to two chapters, before they no longer appear in the story at all.
  • Road Trip Across the Street: The main theme. Most, if not all, of the manga's chapters feature Tobeshita and Kamitsukasa driving across many major roads in Japan, reaching through various destinations that the latter thinks in mind. In later chapters they are also joined in by Yuge and Suga on their road trip.
  • Slice of Life: A manga series about two people driving across many streets and landmarks in Japan.
