Satoshi is in trouble. He gave up college entrance test and his parents cut off his allowance. He thought he could get a job, but none hire him since he’s bad in customer service. One day, he’s brought by an old man named Yamaki to heaven. What???? It’s the name a book store. Yamaki leaves all the managing thing while he’s out on trip. Satoshi gets information from the cashier named Yui. This IS heaven, a parallel world tied to real world. When people die before they reach 100 years, they would spend their time there. And after that, their memory would be erased and they’d reborn as a child in real world.
It’s hard to believe, but Satoshi can’t go anywhere. So, he stays and even really work in the shop. He starts reading book for children and the number of his listeners keep increasing each day. Somehow, it makes him feel alive!
It’s a very sweet story. One should be given chance before we may condemn him. That’s what I learn from this manga.

Once when Taichi and Meguru were just a small kids, they saw a shooting star. Under that night sky they made wishes. Taichi wanted to be a baseball player and Meguru dreamt of becoming an archeologist.
As time passed by, Meguru is about to achieve her dream. She’ll be leaving their hometown to go to university in Tokyo. On the other hand, Taichi would just lose his dream. He has to help his parent running the family business. That’s why Taichi supports Meguru’s dream so much.
It’s a sweet story. Yes, it’s a love story and a clear meaning of love. When you love someone you wish her the best. Just because you’re out of your track, it doesn’t mean that you have to drag her with you. I think Taichi is a real gentleman. whuaaaaa where do I find someone like that? No no…I just stick with Takagi Fujimaru. What? Don’t you know that this manga is created by Megumi Kouji, the author of Bloody Monday!

This is a beautiful story about a girl who wants to be an adult and let go all her childhood. 
But, that’s a wrong method. She’s living alone in an apartment after her parents had to move to another city for work. She throw all childish stuff thinking that it would make her mature. However, when she return home, she finds a kid inside her room. Annoyed and frustated, she tries to ask him go, but he keeps coming back. He says his name is Rozione.
Rozione brings her childish joy and opens her heart. Now, she understand that being an adult doesn’t mean she has to cut everything from her past. She is what she is today thanks to her childhood experience, right?
Everybody is trying to find way to grow up. We can see people taking extreme way like wearing glamorous cloth, put more make up and join notorious gang. It’s just the way to understand yourself. For some people it means going out of the line and face new challenge. But, I think the most lucky person is the one who can feel the breath of nature and think deeply without damaging anything, not him or anybody else, to realize his true self. Yeah, it does take time. But, hey isn’t that the reason we’re still living? to answer the question of we are and what we’re suppose to do. The book contains of 4 stories. download is available at storm in heaven
