The story of a high school girl who is the "lowest in the hierarchy" at her school. She lives with her father, who works a mysterious job, and her sketchy mother. Her friends make fun of her. In her delusions she repeatedly enacts violent revenge.

A collection of short stories depicting everyday life and social issues in 1980s Japan. Each story focuses on different characters facing personal and interpersonal challenges, told in a realistic and grounded style.

Chocolate Sunday, an extremely insane beautiful girl detective, and her assistant Sanzo, a monster who is far from human, may or may not solve various cases.

This collection of three stories by Akino Kondoh presents some of the cartoonist and animator's best known work for Ax, Japan's premier venue for alternative manga, and a recent story about life in New York City. Quiet stories of contemplation, mixed with the surreal strangeness just beyond conscious thought: pushing events into the background until you forget what they were, a girl feeling a strange presence as she goes to sleep, and losing part of yourself in preparing for someone's return.
