A young manga artist is visited by a friend who wants the artist to pay back the money he loaned him. The artist refuses, asking the friend to wait until his story sells. The friend is kicked out of the house and vows to come back later for his money.
 
Note: one of Tsurita's two debut one shots, published in the September 1965 issue of Garo.

"I only have manga."
 
In 1965, still a high school student, Tsurita made her debut as the first newcomer of the newly published Garo. Through her science fiction shorts, she delved into surrealism, capturing the zeitgeist of the 1960s, before later succumbing to the incurable disease SLE (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus). This work contains Tsurita's works from her debut to the last years of her life as well as a detailed chronology of her life, with a "Kuniko Tsurita Yearbook" at the end.
