Description
From Mangascreener:
The only common feature running through these stories is a grown-up protagonist somehow coming face-to-face with his childhood past, in a testament to the loss of youth, the disillusionment of growing old, and nostalgia for better times. In the Adachi pantheon, this is a rare diametric view of his eternal theme of "youth," in this case youth as seen through the lens of the past. It's a powerful statement from Adachi that might even be an acknowledgment of his steadily-creeping age. What is impressive about these stories is not the plots or characters themselves, but the a...

One thing I want to mention that now one else has, and the preview might mislead you into thinking. Growing older isn't treated as awful here.
It acknowledges the way things used to be but doesn't condemn being an adult in any way. There's a bit of romance in a lot of the stories but not all, the characters still learn with life's up and downs as well.
Still, I don't think their all as poignant as they could be. But I'd love to see adachi tackle a longer running story about adults if his business wasn't already so lucrative(shame).

They're tales of remembering childhood and how we all explored life looking forward to an impossible tomorrow. In a sense, we can all relate to the story and our childhood, the times we've regretted and the beautiful simplicity of a child. Recommended.
A nice chronicle

When reading this one can feel the minute changes that has come over the time of the author. I would have loved one that spanned a longer time of his career since this is something that hit a nerve with me.
The stories are generally good, some worse than others, but all of them are solid, with the later ones being better than the earlier ones in my mind. As always Adachi has nice art work and a sense of style. I would warmly recommend this series of short stories since it explores his wonder for the supernatural/psychological in a nice way.
Warmly recommended.
