Story Summary
Tanpenshu is two volumes of Hiroki Endo's short stories. These volumes contain stories about a bleak future world, the violence some endure because of gangs they're associated with, a shy school girl with a stressful family life, and a college theater group and the members relationships with each other, among other stories.

My Opinion
Like Eden, these short stories can be very violent and sexual, but at the same time touching because of Hiroki Endo's portrayal of the ups and downs of human relationships. A must read if you enjoy Eden.
