A collection of surrealistic oneshots complemented by the mangaka's unique art style.

Ryuko is a rambunctious little girl who, while caring greatly about fashion, is unable to control her more wild instincts. To the chagrin of her parents, she loves chasing lizards and making a mess.

A collection of short stories:

1. Pet of Love
A young man is living alone, but can't live independently, so his best friend is forced to take care of him.

2. Remote Control
Is basically about two boys, one of whom is playing a game with the other while pretending to help him become popular. But they both slowly realize it's something else entirely.

3. Iron Road of Love
A dreamless 17 year old finds something to live for when he meets a 25-year-old fellow train enthusiast.

4. Drunken Dog Night
Eitoku is a guy that spends his time either working (by finding "customers" for women) or getting drunk and bringing home strange things, and one night he runs into Hajime, and ends up bringing home the most eccentric thing of all.

5. Unforgettable Love
An apprentice hairdresser finds it hard to move on when his sempai leaves the salon to visit England.

The shining lights, the magnificent stage! Friendships created through singing, making a future through dancing, the girls embark on their journey towards their dreams! One who has lost status due to a scandal is hiding a plot behind her back. A pair of bosom friends, separated by fate. A girl who tries to exonerate her mother sets off on her journey for a talent competition. When the stage turns into an empty battlefield, she uses her voice to chase after her dreams.

Plica-chan is the bittersweet, realistic story of Plica, a young lesbian looking for love in modern Japan. Emphasis on the bitter, rather than the sweet - not because Plica doesn't find love, don't get me wrong! Bitter 'cause she's just a bitter kind of gal.

The whole strip starts on a low note, as Plica gets drunk senseless at her long-time crush's wedding. But not too long into it, she meets Mari, for whom she starts to have feelings pretty soon. But, like most butches, Plica is too unsure to try anything. Thank goodness femme Mari is, like so many femmes, perfectly willing to go after what she wants. She and Plica have been together since. As I said, it's a bittersweet comic - rather more real than fanciful, so don't expect roses and lillies. :-)

The art takes some getting used to if you're used to the more traditional manga style but it's good to take a break from the usual now and then. :-)
