Hiroshi Fujii, the character designer for the 1980s Namco (now Bandai Namco Games) game "Valkyrie" series, created the original sci-fi story "Afternoon Country Tales," which can be considered the author's origin, depicting the daily lives and friendships of Bell, a boy living in a world after the collapse of urban civilization due to a large-scale war; Clip, a boy of the artificial race; and Grace, a girl from a caravan. Based on "Afternoon Country Tales RIMIX+", released by Tokuma Shoten in 2008, this is a fully remastered, e-book-only title that includes previously uncollected short stories and Grace's side stories that were serialized online, making it a must-have for fans!
