Hotel

Synopsis:

Compilation of short stories:

Hotel: Since 2079 (2006)
It is the year 2272 A.D.

A computer continues to live on in order to complete a mission in a world where all life, including Mankind, has gone extinct. This is a record of those 27 million years of its heroic struggle.

Present (2006)
Hanako suffers from a terrible disease. After awakening from a deep slumber, Hanako has only three days to live.

Subete wa Maguro no Tame datta (It Was All for the Tuna) (2008)
Tuna have become extinct and Jun Shiozaki will do everything possible and imaginable to bring them back.

Stephanos
Set in modern-day Japan, our main character Noriko finds out that she is pregnant with her lover Matsumura’s baby. He, however, is an important doctor with a family and everything already. Noriko wants to have the baby, but Matsumura says that it’s actually a rapidly growing cancer and that they have to remove it immediately. It might also be neither of these things…

Diadem
A “Diadem” is a word for ‘crown’ that has its root in Greek. “Stephanos”, which appeared in “Mandala” 01, was also a ‘crown’. It seems that we could consider this the second work in a continuing series of shorts that should perhaps be called a “Crown series”.

Mangaka: Boichi
