Kyogoku Hinata, a sheltered daughter born and raised in a yakuza house, is ordered to live with her bodyguard Emperor Oga (Taiga Mikado) on the condition that her father allows her to move out. The emperor obeyed the chairman's order, grabbed Hinata's arm as she tried to escape from him, and gave him a serious look, saying, "It's too dangerous for a young lady alone." She finally gave up and Hinata accepted to live with Emperor, but she ran into him naked in the dressing room. There is a "wolf man" with bushy fur ears and a tail...! ? As if to add to the bewilderment of Hinata, he provokes her by saying, "Would you like to check it out by touching it, young lady?" The emperor, who was found to have wolf blood, was supposed to be in a position to protect the young lady, but he couldn't control his reason because he was in "estrus"...! ? A slightly naughty mob romantic comedy about a naive young lady and a fluffy wolf man in heat!

Portraying himself as a failure, the protagonist of Osamu Dazai's No Longer Human narrates a seemingly normal life even while he feels himself incapable of understanding human beings. Oba Yozo's attempts to reconcile himself to the world around him begin in early childhood, continue through high school, where he becomes a "clown" to mask his alienation, and eventually lead to a failed suicide attempt as an adult. Without sentimentality, he records the casual cruelties of life and its fleeting moments of human connection and tenderness. Source: New Directions

What if Osamu Tezuka were still alive and creating manga today? What kind of manga would he draw? To answer this question, Tezuka Productions and Kioxia (formerly Toshiba Memory) launched the **"TEZUKA2020"** project: an initiative to create a new Osamu Tezuka manga using AI (artificial intelligence) technology. A manga consists of two main elements: **story** and **art**. For "TEZUKA2020", vast amounts of data on plots and characters from Tezuka's works were extracted and fed into an AI system. Through a process of trial and error, they created what is considered the **world's first manga whose production involved AI**. This book not only details the **production process**, but also includes the resulting work: **"PAIDON" (ぱいどん)**. Furthermore, it contains **"Haetataki" (ハエたたき)**, a chapter from **"Suspicion" (サスピション)**, an AI-related story Tezuka himself drew approximately **40 years ago**. *Source: Kodansha, translated*
