MAIN CHARACTERS

boy boy
A nameless boy living alone with a woman we assume to be his mother. He loves comics and lives a static, unremarkable daily life on a vessel of sorts.
woman woman
The anonymous woman sharing the household with the boy. She scolds him lightly for paying so little attention to his homework, and views comics with slight disdain.


BASIC PLOT
This manga is made of four yomikiri (one-shot short stories); the characters listed above come from the first. The story is set in the distant future, where manga are experienced rather than read. The story itself revolves around the events in the boy's manga, however the ending is somewhat surprising. This book also includes "Milk Junkie", "Yugamism", and a Houshin Engi parody.


POINTS OF INTEREST
As mentioned above, this manga contains a Houshin Engi sidestory, which casts a female Taikoubou.
