4.0

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!
