Sneeze: Naoki Urasawa Story Collection

Ordinary people confront the extraordinary in a collection of eight short stories and essays. Psychic powers surface, alien visitors arrive on Earth, and giant monsters attack, pushing characters into situations beyond their control. Each story follows how they respond when the fantastical intrudes on daily life. Alongside these fictional clashes, the volume turns to the author's real-world experiences in the wild and wacky international music scene. These reflections offer a different kind of tension, drawn from that world and the unpredictable people within it. A classic, funny animal tale rounds out the mix, adding a lighter note.
