An illustrated collection of quirky and darkly funny short stories, set mostly in contemporary Japan. A man turns an ambulance team away after his smart watch predicts an oncoming heart attack. A commuter's attempt to tell a woman she has a white hair leads to a police arrest. Neighbourly concern leads to a hair-raising encounter with a Japanese demon. At times speculative, at times grounded in the mundanity of the everyday, these tales explore the absurdities of modern life.
