From Amazon: This book contains three separate and unusual stories set in alternate realities. The first story, "Martian's Earth Conquest," tells the tale of a person who is coping with the loss of someone special. The second tale, "Is it Really Not Possible?," makes you wonder if a man and a woman can truly be just friends. And the last of the three, "Sci-Fi," is a sad tale about a girl who hates robots and a humanoid who serves her. The creator, who believes that the best privilege artists get is to ''lie,'' creates a whole new world beyond your imagination. Still, even though these tales are from different worlds, the topic has a great sense of reality, and the readers are guaranteed to be able to closely relate to them. Start a journey to the world only she can create.

Is a manga which Miyazaki wrote for a newspaper targeted for children. It is more of a graphic novel than a manga, since most of the text are written outside of the frames and there are very few dialogue bubbles (though towards the end of the story, it moved closer to the traditional manga style). The surprisingly dark story deals with the devastation of war, betrayal, and the ugliness of the human nature under desperate situations, including deaths of several characters. One can see the influence of TEZUKA Osamu in the art style of this manga (as in most of the manga written in this time).
