The sixth volume of OTOMO THE COMPLETE WORKS collects two seven short manga works and a series of short manga spreads, centered around two medium-length series that Katsuhiro Otomo created between 1979 and 1980 when he was 25-26 years old.
This volume collects in book format for the first time the work, "G...." illustrated by Otomo and written by Nobuyuki Shirayama (白山宣之). This unfinished four chapter manga was only published in magazine format in the late 70's. This volume also includes the four part manga SEIJAGA MACHINI YATTEKIRU (聖者が街にやって来る) from the same period that was later collected in the book SAYONARA NIPPON as well as the thirteen episodes of the two-page spread comics titled OTOMO KATSUHIRO NO EIYOO MANTEN (大友克洋の栄養満点) only published in Rockin' On Magazine back in the day and never collected in a book before.
The other short stories included are EAST OF THE SUN, WEST OF THE MOON（原案/狩撫麻礼) and A GYAKUSATSUNIN JINKEN (Ａ荘殺人事件) collected in the book SAYONARA NIPPON in the past, SOUND OF SAND and FLOWER originally collected in Kodansha's book OTOMO KATSUHIRO ANTHOLOGY vol.1: KANOJO NO OMOIDE (彼女の想いで…), and RUN and ABUNAI! SEITO KAICHOO (危ない！生徒会長) collected in the second volume: SOS TAITOKYO TANKENTAI (SOS 大東京探検隊)
Finally the manga DON QUIJOTE collected in the book HANSEL & GRETEL (ヘンゼルとグレーテル) 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, because 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.
