Features: Reading Abe Mamori's manga is like taking a stroll in the mountains on a spring morning. A light mist drifts by, bringing a refreshing and ethereal beauty. The scarecrow at night, tapping-tapping, switches its bow and arrows for rice and walks along the field paths. The scarecrow at night, tapping-tapping-tapping, hops on one leg under the moonlight. Where is he heading in such a bright night? The scarecrow at night walks along the field paths, its bow and arrows replaced by rice, to feed the hungry sparrows. In "Abe's Fairy Tales," the fairies are flowers, grass, everything. When you gaze intently at the sky, it suddenly feels closer, and everything around seems to freeze—birdsong, the sound of the wind—all become silent. Your heart drifts toward the moon, toward the distant hometown.
