A collection of short, unfinished stories (expect for 2 chapters) by Izumi Matsumoto, the creator of Orange Road series.
As far as i concerned, this thing was done for collecting the previously done short stories ideas and concepts the author wanted to show using the coloring technique with softwares from mid 90s, is a interesting concept to say at least. Seen these kind of things done only on videogames and modding scene.
Stories:
1- A one-shot special on his more popular franchise, Orange Road. Just a short Ecchi story where the main characters goes to a onsen (public bath). The protagonist, Kyosuke, swaps his body with her friend ... Hikaru after hitting their heads. Troubles and sexy stuff ahead!
2 - Another short where a guy loses the will to see the world colors (literally) after he broke with his girlfriend. A new meet with another girl will made return to see a coloured world again.
3 - The most long story of the volume, a sort of beginning for a cyberpunk tale where a JK girl, a guy that looks like Trunks brought on Wish, the Police searching for clues on something, a virtual world named after a imaginary planet "beloved" from conspiracy theorist that hides more than what it's shown, all in a convoluted story where nothing is truly explained and the atmosphere tends to be more comedic than else. Or at try to do that.
4 - A short introduction to a comedy sets in the feudal Japan when the first westerners approached their shores with their "black ship", two wacky strangers "send" by the white house are going to meet the natives, a girl hates all the gaijin; the young stranger bumps in the girl after he was peeping the girls in the bath sauna. Drum roll. Applauses.

I wonder if any these last two stories are been more developed in the future or not... I really wonder, especially for the cyberpunk one. The stories are kinda well written, despite the messy parts in EE it was a fun read, helped by the art style with gorgeous girls and funny expressions.
