Fictionalized places, but set in the past. This piece is a comedy. Contains to stories. The first (which is longer) is really quite hilarious! :) Decent plot, but completely mindless...Good if you are wanting a laugh.
I'm not exactly sure what I like about this, but I do like it...enough to reread it. Perhaps it might be that feeling that it would be great as an independent/fully developed story instead of a dj.
As with all stories by this mangaka, there is a very "real" element about this. You can see yourself in the characters, in their struggles, their everyday life, etc. Beautiful piece.
