Description
[From Storm in Heaven]:

A collection of four short stories by Fuyumi Souryou.

The Rainbow Fish is a story about a painter and her problems dealing with a culture that doesn't leave too much space for artistic inspiration. From a little girl to adulthood, Sari struggles to show how she sees life through her eyes. This story is something of an autobiography.

Damned Sun is about a cynical girl who isn't very enthusiastic about most things teenagers like. She meets a man, a funny, interesting gangster. They get along very well from the beginning, understanding each other without too many words... But it only lasts one day, since what shakes Maki from her apathy can't last long...

Strange Trait asks the question: Are human beings are like groceries? Do they really have a certain durability? A writer thinks so, and she bases her novel on the idea.

A Strange Gene is about Ayano Yoshimusa; a superb worker, efficient, accurate, and cold. Saegusa, her colleague, is her opposite: messy, chaotic and warm. He admires his boss, whenever he talks to her he realises what a perfect creature she is… But as always, not everything is what it seems. When a sixteen years old appears and tells him she lives with Ayano, Saegusa seems to perceive that something might be hidden under the perfect appearance of this beautiful woman…

a good read by elalendi on February 11th, 2009, 3:31pm

A quick oneshot with some interesting short stories. Wasn't like WOW like her other works but still, I liked it. This one is kinda recent so her artwork is really pretty here. Her story-telling skills are also amazing. I loved the twist at the end of that last story.

My... by NightSwan on November 30th, 2008, 5:26am

That was one of the best collection of oneshots I've ever read...
It was just simply amazing...

Souryo Fuyumi really knows how to write about a person's soul....
So thought provoking, and quite tragic.
Made me sad, but in a good way, and not only that... It brought all sorts of emotions...

Art is beautifull as ever.

Awesomeness by kahori on July 20th, 2008, 7:12am

This is an amazing set of oneshots. Souryo has a deep understanding of how human emotions work, how the mind works- her stories are extremly realistic and amazing in how they really get into the human mind. Her artwork is clean but beautiful. This was a very interesting look at different aspects of life and living. Souryo is clearly an amazing mangaka to make oneshots into something so powerful.

:'| by mydisguise on March 9th, 2008, 11:30am

the first story didnt have a particular plotline, just showed her stages in life and her thoughts, but it was still kinda captivating.

the second story i really wanted to cry but i couldnt. and i loved it, and now i'm really sad after reading it.

the third story is quite simple but still interesting.

the fourth story is... puzzling. i cant decide whether it confuses the hell outta me, or if its complex and interesting. probably the second one =] i might have to read it a couple more times to really understand it though.

Must read by La Plume on October 27th, 2007, 7:40am

Short stories are not often as interesting as long series, but Fuyumi Souryo is definitly not your average shoujo mangaka. As usual she's able to make short stories, well paced, well drawn and psychologically interesting.
Of all the shoujo mangaka I read, she's one of the few that can trully appeal to both guys and girls. Though this one is categorized as a shoujo, It would be more accurate to say this one's a seinen.
