thank you for the stories summaries!
I was looking for smth like this, because I only have Japanese tankoubon [absolutely beautiful thing!]and with my lower-than-mediocrity level of Japanese I can easily wind up with totally wrong understanding of the words :) so the summaries are very helpful as a guideline :D

I agree that the first story about the dancer is most powerful and very impressive artwise. But I also really liked two cats stories [maybe because there were so few words:)] because while reading I was thinking "huh? what's going on here?" and the final cats' form revelation was actually an interesting and fitting twist.

good to know that Deux is making good prints, I have not got anything from them yet. But they still do mot include colour inserts, do they?
