茄子

A collection of short stories all connected by a common theme: the eggplant. The narrative focuses on a recurring cast of characters, including Takama, a farmer, and a young girl named Aya Takashi. Aya begins the story abandoned by her father, living in Tokyo with her two younger siblings. As the manga progresses, she leaves the city to reside with relatives in the countryside, near Takama's farm.

Beyond the chapters centered on Takama and Aya, the manga explores a variety of other tales. These include the chronicles of samurai in the Edo period hunting forbidden eggplant, a story set atop a futuristic Mount Fuji, a tale about a truck driver, and "Summer in Andalusia," which follows the professional Spanish bicyclist Pepe Benengeli.
