Enjoyable read, great for fans for CSM author. Really awesome to see the evolution of his art

What a treat this was. I love Fujimoto's outside-the-box thinking, which, even to manga standards, is pretty out there. Two of the stories in the collection (Sasaki Stopped a Bullet and Love is Blind) are gems; funny, hopeful, provocative, stimulating, and otherworldly odd, quite literally. The two others (A Couple Clucking Chickens Were Still Kickin' in the Schoolyard and Shikaku), while not as good, evoke a similar sense of surrealism and humor. Highly recommended!

Four very entertaining, often darkly funny, sometimes even touching stories!!! You can see Fujimoto's development as an artist and as a person in them. My favorite was Shikaku, but Sasaki Stopped a Bullet is a close second.

Me gustó mucho ver los inicios de Fujimoto. "Niwa niwa niwa niwatori ga ita" y "Shikaku" fueron mis relatos favoritos pero todos son re entretenidos.

Quite good, but they’re not as refined as CSM. U can really tell they’re fujimoto older and rougher works. They still have that classic fujimoto chaos to them tho with all the insane plot twists like the alien one where the guy is revealed to be an alien all along. All of these were so weird and fun to read. Don’t know if I’d read them a second time though
