A collection of short stories from the early career of a legendary manga artist, this volume spans works from 1966 to 1972. It includes his masterpiece "Oen no Koi," created just before his breakthrough hit. The stories showcase the artist's overwhelming descriptive power, which blossomed during this short period and retains its impact to this day.
The theme of forbidden dreaming runs through the entire collection. The narratives explore the joy of falling and the anger that reaches a boiling point. An interview with the author at the end of the book offers a closer look at the creative process behind these works.
