ショート・プログラム [Shōto Puroguramu / Short Program] #2

A sun-drenched young woman in a swimsuit strides confidently across the cover of this second volume collecting Mitsuru Adachi's short manga stories, promising thirteen youth tales in one compact edition. The "My First Wide" format from Shogakukan makes Adachi's signature blend of warmth and nostalgia readily accessible, and the cover's breezy, summery energy sets the tone perfectly for the variety within. Fans of Adachi's knack for capturing everyday adolescent moments will find this anthology an appealing showcase of his range as a storyteller.
