Raizo Fuwa is a 25-year-old salaryman living in a cramped home and working in a crowded office in Tokyo. His hopes for improved conditions are dashed when the new office building his company is supposed to move into is condemned as unsafe because the construction company has been cutting corners. Since the old building is already being demolished, they have no choice but to "temporarily" move the office into Fuwa's new flat. The final complication arrives in the form of the new employee Izumi Hiyama, a high school dropout the boss has promised to take care of as a favor to her family. No landlords are willing to rent to a 15-year-old girl, so she too has to move into Fuwa's home/office.

What's Michael follows the adventures of a ginger tabby called Michael. The stories often change setting: in one, Michael may be owned by a young Japanese couple; in the next, Michael may be owned by an older couple with children and in a third, Michael might be owned by a yakuza. There are even story settings that place groups of cats in business suits or playing baseball in sport team uniforms.

World Apartment Horror

ワールドアパートメントホラー

Marui, Piyoko

A penis wanders alone through the countryside. Kind and gentle, all it longs for is warmth and companionship, be it from a frog, bird, or cat; it extends a helping hand to those who need it, only to be continually shunned by the beneficiaries of his generosity. Nonetheless, it appreciates the small things in life and is aware that true happiness lies in the heart. Seasons may change, and the world may pass by, but optimistic about the future, the penis will continue to wander on...

With each student made to tackle the various problems that they must face to grow up - sometimes comically and sometimes seriously - this work is a kind of bible for the young generation.

愛…しりそめし頃に… 満賀道雄の青春

Adachi, Tetsu

Weather Woman is a funny, sexy, delightful romp through the high-pressure world of TV personalities, and the basis for a fabulous funny cult hit movie (released in America by Asia Pulp Cinema) that made a star out of the hot, sexy Japanese actress Kei Mizutani. It's awfully hot under those TV lights, and when your ratings are what you live and die by, you need a gimmick. If you're a gorgeous Weather Woman, maybe you'll find those ratings will rise if your skirt does, too! This media-savvy satire was a huge hit in comics and film in Japan and the fabulously funny cult hit movie based on it won awards at international film festivals, and the movie's American dub premier and gorgeous Kei Mizutani were immensely popular at the San Diego ComiCon International last year! This sexy and funny graphic novel features Keiko, the scheming Weather Woman, who becomes a hit in Japan by taking off her clothes on the air, her hapless suitor Minoru who tries to protect her but she can only abuse him, and the beautiful Michiko who spies on Keiko as her maid and ends up in some very compromising positions!
