DramaRomanceShounen

In the far future, a huge mass of energy, dubbed as the "Star of Destruction" appears near Mars, and brings about the threat of human extinction as it approaches Earth. The appearance of the star caused usual atmospheric patterns and deformation of the Earth. This triggered acts of war and terrorism throughout the world, and has critically damaged the Earth. However, the true omen of disaster has yet to come. And so there was a 100 years left. For the sake of avoiding extinction, mankind came up with a few plans. The first of which would be the Earth escape plan, to build space shuttles and invent technologies to allow them to live in space. There was, however, a flaw in that, for a human would never be able to live throughout the whole of a 100 years to oversee the project, and therefore the Felix plan was put in place, which was to create a new species of human beings through the use of gene manipulation, allowing them to have bodies that do not age and possess a high level of intelligence. The formation of a single government body, the Earth Unified Government, was setup to oversee that, and at the same time recruit an army to suppress any organizations who would oppose to the plan. And so 99 years have passed... There is a Felix girl who actively contributed as a member of the plan to escape Earth. Having devoted her whole life to the plan, she wishes to stay on Earth for the rest of her life, having finished her work, and certain that Humanity's existence is secured. And so one day, the Earth Unified Government Army sent a young man to the girl's side. His work there, to protect her, and also to free her from her restraints. And so the story begins with their meeting. A little story, about a dying planet and a girl.

HistoricalSlice of Life

They are burning Japanese cars in Detroit. The top management at Toyosan Motors must decide whether to begin offshore production of its cars in the U.S. But our hero Mr. Kudo fears that offshore production will devastate the numerous local subcontractors of Toyosan, leading to a hollowing out of the auto industry in Japan, leaving only a financial shell. The American color TV industry has already suffered such a fate. The villain, Mr. Tsugawa, calls Kudo a wimp and sees a splendid opportunity for union busting. Will our hero prevail? Thus begins the first episode of this rollicking yet incisive introduction to the world economy from the Japanese point of view. Other episodes treat the appreciation of the yen, the impact of the 1970s oil shocks, deficit financing, the internationalization of business and banking, and the post-industrial future of Japan and the Pacific Rim. The book is an English edition of volume 1 of Manga Nihon Keizai Nyumon, originally published in 1986 by Nihon Keizai Shimbun, the Japanese equivalent of the Wall Street Journal. It is based on a serious introductory text put out by the newspaper and is packed with informative charts and facts. When the comic book was first published in Japan, it was an immediate best-seller, selling over 550,000 copies in less than a year. The stories in the book reflect Japan's national mood during the "Japanese miracle" and into the 1980s economic bubble: apprehension and optimism jostle one another, and there is a sense of national self-pity. The book also reflects a deep suspicion of politics and bureaucrats. The prime minister appears more worried about his government's popularity than about taking the right economic course. Ultimately, the employees at Toyosan Motors demonstrate that the success of the Japanese economy will not depend on natural resources or politics but on business practices that are ethical, socially responsible, and forward-looking (Source: University of California Press)
