"B.Q." (literally "Trash"😉 is a two volumes collection of short stories, hilarious and irreverent like the best Tarantino films! "Bark at the Moon", the story of a hijacker dealing with a mysterious liquid stolen from a passenger; "Highway Romantic VS Sodomy Diner", ruthless portrait of a small American village that hides a reality populated by murderers and psychotics under a veil of apparent tranquility; "The Drifter", a tale of an unlikely extraterrestrial invasion; "Dead Skater", dismal story of a complex and violent boy struggling with a mad scientist; "The workers of the Hamano workshop", an "X-Files" tale filled with mysterious objects and human-like extraterrestrials; and finally "Dong!", the story of a struggle for power in a ruthless mafia family! In the very excited "Attack!" we witness the daring escape of three criminals ready to do anything to get rich: in "Dog Eat Dog" a young killer decides to give up his job after death appears before his eyes! In "The god of the tribe 'Nbada" we learn about the inhabitants of a poor African village of the eleventh century who possess extraordinary powers thanks to the benevolence of a mysterious deity; in "The concerns of the Head of the Lunar Research Team", the scientist who directs the work of a geological research base on the Moon finds himself struggling with an employer on the verge of bankruptcy, a wife very little inclined to marital fidelity, quarrelsome underlings and an unimaginable terrorist plot; in "All in one night" the phlegmatic Tomiyama and his friend Seki, a recurring couple of Kaneko's manga, find themselves having to deal with extraterrestrials looking for their partner!

One of the earliest shoujo manga of all time, Anmitsu-hime began its serialization in *Shoujo* Magazine in 1949. Set in a dreamy, idealistic Edo-period Japan intended to comfort children during the U.S. occupation, the story follows a young princess in a long-sleeved kimono. The princess, Anmitsu-hime, and other characters are named after sweets and desserts. The series was incredibly popular, running in multiple magazines until 1962. It inspired an anime series, two movies, three TV dramas, a radio drama, and a video game, as well as a manga reboot in 1986.
