The moment that “normality” crumbles, the world bares its fangs. One day, if the water became just a little harder... One day, if your deceased wife spoke to you as a tattoo... One day, if you could meet your past or future self... From rising star Fuutarou Katsumi, whose work *Kimagure na Mizu* garnered 23.9 million interactions on social media, comes a strange tale that begins with a “slight shift” that could happen to anyone. In these stories, the boundaries between human and non-human, reality and fiction, past, present, and future blur and slowly erode. A collection of the author's first science fiction works—absurd, poignant, frightening, and somehow warm. After reading, your view of everyday life will shift ever so slightly. This volume contains six tales that touch upon such flaws in the world. (Source: Kadokawa, translated)
