“Garden” is a collection of Furuya Usamaru’s “indie” shorts that were published in Comic Cue, Manga Erotics and GARO respectively.

The other stories range from absurd comedies to fantasy to horror. It’s a very eclectic mixture, but make no mistake: artistically, Garden might just be Furuya’s most accomplished work after The Music of Marie.
