Now for the first time, in this three-volume series, Murakami's best-loved stories are available in manga form in English.With their trademark mix of realism and fantasy, centering around Murakami's signature themes of loss, remorse and confusion. The three stories in this volume are:The Second Bakery Attack: A newlywed couple lie in bed, hungry. The man tells his wife about when he and a friend robbed a bakery and stole bread to feed themselves for two days. On hearing this story, the woman suggests they try the same thing again. '[…] exemplifies Murakami's sense of the fragility of the ordinary world.' — Kirkus ReviewsSamsa in Love: An extension of the tale of Gregor Samsa in Kafka's The Metamorphosis. The main character wakes up to find himself transformed into someone named Samsa, then falls in love with a hunchback woman who comes to fix the lock on his door. 'Samsa in Love is part of a lineage, going back to the original publication of The Metamorphosis in 1915 and extending up to (and beyond?) the present day.' — Los Angeles TimesThailand: A middle-aged woman takes a break from her job as a doctor to go on holiday in Thailand. She learns from a spirit doctor that her sterile life and inability to forgive have created a rock in her gut, which will be all that remains of her after she is dead. 'His characters are so persuasive, and the storytelling so spacious.… Murakami's crisp, accomplished stories…have great immediacy.' — The Seattle TimesThese new graphic versions of classic Murakami short stories will be devoured by his fans and will provide a new window onto his work for a new generation of readers not yet familiar with it!**Recommended for readers ages 16+ due to mature themes and graphic content**
