Volume 1 - 1st printing.

Story and art by Usumaru Furuya.

So what is this fascination with that extreme variant of the Japanese teenage girl; that highly evolved creation of Japan's frenetically trendy consumer culture... the ko-gal?

Short Cuts is the comic strip that takes you on a bizarre illustrated journey into the ko-gal's world. In his American book-publication debut, creator Usumaru Furuya takes a tongue-in-cheek look at the ko-gal with his characteristic bizarre, irreverent, and often surreal humor.

In this volume: Crushes and more crushes! Mariko emerges from puff of smoke strangely transformed-with a craving for carrots; Zero Boy is obsessed with Maria, who doesn't even know he exists; and Muku, the "adorable" babe everyone is flirting with, just happens to be a Bigfoot!

Also, a hilarious spoof on shopping networks, weight-loss, and a how-(NOT)-to-dress for school!

Softcover, 5-in. x 8-in., 120 pages, B&W.

Cover price $12.95.

Volume 2 - 1st printing.

A treat for the fan of the cutting edge of comics art, as well as anyone wanting to get up to the minute on the latest Tokyo fads. More surreal gags and teenage madness in this concluding volume.
