"Murakami is one of the most celebrated writers alive today. Now you can experience [...] his best-loved short stories in manga form, with offbeat art to match the equally bizarre subject matter. Long-time fans are sure to appreciate this new approach to Murakami's work, while newcomers will find it an evocative introduction." --Book Riot

"The illustration style isn't what I normally think of as manga...It is both more detailed and a little more grotesque: instead of wide-eyed, beautiful people, the characters in these books have wrinkles and warts, they're caught making unflattering faces or bent into odd poses. They do feel like they fit the stories, with that vague sense of unease, and the blurring of the line between reality and fantasy." --GeekDad.com

"This is a must-read for Murakami buffs and a quirky invitation into the writer's perspective and preoccupations for newcomers." --Publishers Weekly
