Story and art by Kagiji Kumanomata. Translated by Tetsuichiro Miyaki. English Adaptation by Annette Roman.

When things seem too peaceful in the Demon Castle, the demons investigate and find the princess in a literal bind. Having stolen a gizmo to create alternate dimensions, Princess Syalis uses it to do good in the world. Just kidding! Of course she uses it for her own (and the Teddy Demons') selfish gain. Then, a lightning storm reveals one demon is (predictably) even more frightened of thunder than the princess. Quilladillo goes on vacation only to discover he has a stowaway in his trunk, but it's not the princess. Just kidding! Of course it is. And then a relative of the princess appears in the castle! What are the demon hostage takers to do...?!

Never before available in English, this new collection of his stories from the late 60s and the 70s depicts the lives of punks, vagrants, gangsters, and other lost souls with gritty lyricism.
