Four very entertaining, often darkly funny, sometimes even touching stories!!! You can see Fujimoto's development as an artist and as a person in them. My favorite was Shikaku, but Sasaki Stopped a Bullet is a close second.

A great collection of short stories.
I don't normally read manga and I treat it the medium like any other graphic novel. I loved these stories, they are bizarre yet unique. I will read his other works.
My favourite is Shikaku but please don't ask why lol.

Each one shot is hilarious and has that iconic Fujimoto charm. It was also neat to see his artstyle improve with time, and compare it to his recent works like Look Back and Chainsaw Man.
