This collection features primarily short stories, with about 15 percent of the space devoted to manga. Highlights in the manga section include VOFANs breathtaking illustrations in the wordless story Nikko Dance Party and NISIOISINs clever story After School: 7th Class. Many of the stories are by authors who are best known for manga, so their fans would definitely appreciate this book. The most notable selections include Otsuichis F-senseis Pocket, Kouhei Kadonos Outlandos dAmour, and Otaro Maijos Drill Hole in My Brain, which is both astonishingly erotic and just plain astonishing.
