This is a compilation of 15 manga one-shots written and illustrated by Katsuhiro Otomo between 1974 and 1976, when he was in his early 20s.

It includes:

-"ONE DOWN" and "Kagami Jigoku," -
manga adaptations of short stories by Rampo Edogawa , both of which were previously uncollected, and the long-awaited first collection of two of them.

-"There is a Voice Calling You Awake" -
has a fantastic last page, which was omitted from both the publication and the book, and this is the first time it has been shown in this book.

-BOOGIE WOOGIE WALTZ" and "GOOD WEATHER,"-
both published by Kitansha, were distributed almost exclusively by mail order at the time and were rarely seen in bookstores, making them difficult to obtain for a long time.
