The seventh volume of OTOMO THE COMPLETE WORKS collects a variety of shorst stories and episodic manga works created by Katsuhiro Otomo between 1980 and 1981 when he was 26-27 years old.
This volume collects in book format for the first time the work, APPLE PARADISE, the unfinished six chapter manga that was only published in magazine format in the late 80's. This volume also includes the twelve fairy tale and literature inspired short story series THAT'S AMAZING WORLD previously collected in HANSEL AND GRETEL (seven of them) and KANOJO NO OMOIDE (彼女の想いで…) (five of them). Aditionally five other short stories are also collected in this book, two of them from the fore-mentioned books another two from SOS TAITOKYO TANKENTAI (SOS 大東京探検隊) and one from GOOD WEATHER.
The manga I・N・R・I has been published this time in the original manuscript format, with the story opening from the end of the book to be read from left to right; when it was collected in a book for the first time, the left and right frames were swapped and it was altered to open from the right.
As in the previous volumes, the manuscripts that had colors are reproduced in color, the same way they were first published in magazines but this time with a pristine printing quality.
