桂正和コレクション
This collection brings together early short stories by Masakazu Katsura, spanning from before his professional debut through the late 1980s. The first volume contains six works created between 1980 and 1982, showcasing his formative style before the serialization of *Wingman*. A later expanded edition adds the full-color story "A Little Light" from 1988. The second volume gathers five stories from 1985 to 1989, produced during the runs of *Wingman* and before *Video Girl Ai*.
The stories range from action-packed adventures to romantic comedies with ecchi elements, featuring characters caught in extraordinary situations. A young boy discovers a mysterious power, a high school student gets involved with a supernatural girl, and a fighter faces off against a rival with a dark secret. Each tale highlights Katsura's evolving artwork and narrative flair.
Conflicts arise as protagonists confront their own limitations, hidden enemies, and the consequences of their choices. Whether dealing with superhuman abilities or romantic entanglements, they must navigate dangers that threaten their ordinary lives. The collection offers a glimpse into the early career of a legendary manga artist.
