Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan

Rohan accompanies his editor to a mountain village full of luxurious villas after she receives an improbable invitation to buy a home there.

Bankrupt, Rohan pleads with his editor for an advance on his pay, swearing that the land he bought as research for his manga wasn't a wasted investment.

Rohan retells the story of a time he accidentally overheard a bone-chilling confession at a church in Venice.

Sustaining serious injuries to his hand, Rohan blames himself for undertaking a foolish competition with a model in a hotel gym.
