A collection of stories:

1. The Outsider by H.P. Lovecraft
In this work, a mysterious man who has been living alone in a castle for as long as he can remember decides to break free in search of human contact and light. “The Outsider” is one of Lovecraft's most commonly reprinted works and is also one of the most popular stories ever to be published in Weird Tales.

2. The House with the Mezzanine by Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
“The House With The Mezzanine” is the story of a somewhat diffident young man, a painter, and his somewhat tenuous romance with two sisters during a vacation; the story is laden with the impressionistic images conjured up by its narrator and is one of Chekhov’s finest short stories.

3. Twenty-six Men and a Girl by Maxim Gorky
“Twenty-six Men and a Girl” is a pioneering story of Social Realism (predating Soviet socialist realism), and is a story of lost ideals. Twenty-six men labor in a cellar, making kringles in an effective prison. They are looked down upon by all around them, including the bun bakers. Their only seeming solace is the sixteen-year-old Tanya who visits them every morning for kringles they give her.

From Kotonoha:

Based on a script by the author of Old Boy and brought to life by the late manga genius Hirosuke Kizaki, Shoujo Nemu tells the moving story of Nemu, a young girl who dreams of becoming a manga artist. Even though people couldn’t tell because of her shyness, Nemu possesses extraordinary talent, but it’s not until her encounter with Goro, a veteran manga artist plagued with self-doubt, that she begins to realize the true nature of her passion. What follows is an unusual friendship that ends up changing both their lives.

Note: the author died, so only 1 volume was published.

After receiving a call from a mysterious lady called Shindou Yurika, Masaki, the main protagonist, learns that his elder sister died under mysterious circumstances. He obtains a Jazz CD from Yurika and plays it in remembrance of his sister. While listening to it he experiences soul traveling and dives into a, for him unknown, "psyche world". Later on he accidentally meets other souls and tries to find out what actually happened to his sister. Apparently Volume 4 will be the last one.
