Fujiko F. Fujio: Sukoshi Fushigi Tanpen Theater

Ordinary people repeatedly stumble into situations where one small impossibility overturns everything they believe is normal. A boy may find himself fighting a private war against an alien, a strange message can reveal tomorrow before it arrives, and a traveler on another world can discover a society whose values are horrifyingly reversed.

Elsewhere, superhuman power tests the character of an otherwise average man, lost explorers confront worlds shaped by nature and extinction, and memories of the dead blur the boundary between science and grief. Each encounter begins with something only slightly strange, then follows its consequences to places that are funny, unsettling, tragic, or cruelly ironic.
