Haruki Murakami Manga Stories 1 is the first of three volumes, which will present a total of 9 short stories from Murakami`s bestselling collections. With their trademark mix of realism and fantasy, centering around Murakami`s characteristic themes of loss, remorse and confusion, the four stories in this volume are:"Super-Frog Saves Tokyo": A few days after an earthquake, Katagiri discovers a giant frog in this home. The frog promises to save Tokyo from another earthquake, but Katagiri must help him. Is this real, or is Katagiri dreaming? "[This story has] such an engaging mix of realism and fantasy that it takes a while for you to realize what a sad undertow the story has and how much it says about Katagiri`s solitary life, his feelings of powerlessness and his dread of another quake." --The New York Times"Where I`m Likely to Find It": A woman`s husband goes missing so she hires detective. As the detective traces the man`s whereabouts, he reflects on the meaning of his own life. "A searching Kafkaesque parable about disappearance, loss and coping." -Kirkus Reviews"Birthday Girl": A woman tells her friend the story of a surreal encounter she has on her twentieth birthday with the owner of the restaurant where she works, who grants her a wish. The Seventh Man: The story of a man scarred by the death of his childhood friend in a tsunami. "Although Murakami`s style and deadpan humour are wonderfully distinctive, his emotional territory is more familiar--remorse, unresolved confusion, sudden epiphanies--though heightened by the surreal. In `The Seventh Man,` one of his saddest stories, the narrator recalls the wave that reared up during a freak storm and engulfed his childhood friend."--The GuardianThis novel visual take on these classic Murakami stories will be devoured by his fans and provide a new window onto his work for younger readers not yet familiar with it!**Recommended for readers ages 16+ due to mature themes and graphic content**
