Short Program 2

ショート・プログラム 2 あだち充傑作短編作品集

Telling a genuinely compelling short story is one of the hardest feats in manga, yet Mitsuru Adachi excels at the medium. This selection of his finest short works includes two stories about the dangerous life of a pretty would-be private eye; a boy whose brief stop-off changes his life's destination; five short-shorts set in a quirky café; Japan's future ace pitcher who cannot even throw a ball; a school play that goes awry, turning the world into a stage for love and karate; a drama of rugby and past lives; two off-beat time-travel tales; and more. Adachi's low-key yet high-impact stories are a must-read for any manga aficionado. 1. Haru ga Kuru Mae ni... (Before Spring Comes) 2. Wakaba Mark (Subject - Wakaba) 3.
