"For the first time in English, the work of master Haruki Murakami is available in manga form. In this collection you'll find striking full-color adaptations of these iconic short stories: Super-frog saves Tokyo -- A few days after an earthquake, Katagirl-san finds a giant frog in his home. The frog promises to save Tokyo from the next earthquake, but Katagiri-san must help him. Is this real, or a dream? Where I'm likely to find it -- A woman's husband goes missing and she hires a detective to find him. As the detective picks up clues about the man's whereabouts, he reflects on the meaning of his own life. Birthday girl -- A woman tells a friend the story of a surreal encounter on her twentieth birthday with the owner of the restaurant where she works. The seventh man -- A man who is deeply scarred by the depth of his childhood friend must find a way to deal with this trauma as an adult."-- Back cover.
