Another very good short manga collection!!! I think this one is better even than the other one I read. Each one really makes you think while also being entertaining and subtly funny. Turned-Into-A-Girl Syndrome was especially interesting, I was worried it would be transphobic but it seemed like a caring representation of a transgender-like experience. The demon sister one was very cute and seemed almost like an analogy for an older sibling who takes care of his high-support needs autistic little sister. He couldn't understand her ways of communicating at all but he still loved and cared for her. And the sister portrait one was hilarious and the ending was sweet. I thought it was especially funny how each story was described as being created because someone told Fujimoto that he couldn't do something with his stories and then he did it to show them he could. That is truly the best motivation there is.
