5/10 ⭐⭐⭐
17-21 es el rango de edad que tenía "Tatsuki Fujimoto" (autor del conocido manga "Chainsaw man") cuando dibujó las cuatro obras que componen este recopilatorio ("Dos pollos en el patio", "Sasaki ha parado una bala", "El amor es ciego" y "Shikaku").
Recomendado para fans del autor o curiosos de los principios de un mangaka de éxito.

- There were Two Chickens in the Garden (Niwa ni wa Niwa Niwatori ga Ita, 庭には二羽ニワトリがいた。)
I think this one had more potential, but the execution didn’t play into its full potential ig

- Sasaki-kun Has Stopped the Bullet (Sasaki-kun ga Judan Tometa, 佐々木くんが銃弾止めた)
I’m sorry this is just too ridiculous it’s funny pfft

- Love is Blind (Koi wa Moumoku, 恋は盲目)
“I witnessed earthlings dealing with love. The mood wasn’t right to go destroying stuff”
Absurdly cute

- Shikaku (シカク)
Mmm this one’s a bit interesting, but aren’t these vampires a bit OP💀
it’s so sweet and cute

"We're gonna destroy planet Earth to build a gigantic highway in its orbit. I just figured I should at least hear out any objections you guys might have! Earthling civilization isn't that advanced anyway, so you don't mind, right?!"

مجموعه‌ای از چهار کامیک کوتاه که فوجیمتو در سنین 17 تا 21 سالگی نوشته بوده

داستان اول کم‌وبیش آماتوری است، هم از لحاظ روایی و هم از لحاظ طراحی. مثلا ترکیب‌بندی پنل‌ها خیلی تلاطم دارند و بی هیچ منطق مشخصی زاویه عوض می‌کنند

داستان دوم درباره‌ی پسری دبیرستانی است که به معلمش نظر دارد. یک روز مرد روان‌پریش مسلحی داخل کلاس درس می‌شود. خودش را همکلاسی سابق معلم معرفی می‌کند و خواسته‌اش این است که معلم با او سکس داشته باشد. شخصیت‌پردازی‌های این داستان قوام‌یافته‌ترند

در داستان سوم پسری نوجوان هم‌مدرسه‌ای خود را دوست دارد و در تقلاست تا عشقش را برای دختر فاش کند؛ البته اگر دلهره و دلواپسی امان دهند! اینجاست که خامدستی فوجیمتو در تصویرسازی، به کمکش آمده و بازتابی شده از موقعیت عاطفی لرزان قهرمان

تازه در داستان چهارم است که تصاویر فوجیمتو تمیز و پرداخت‌شده به نظر می‌رسند

Tatsuki Fujimoto is one of the most chaotic people I've ever read from and that's really all I have to say about this. He reminds me of Junji Ito except Ito is a more civilized/reigned in chaos and Fujimoto is rough around the edges chaos. I don't know how else to explain this.

Se state cercando il genio di Tatsuki Fujimoto nelle sue primissime short stories, mettetevi l'anima in pace perché non lo troverete così facilmente.
Tra lo stile disegno acerbo - distante anni luce da quello per cui oggi è così conosciuto -, personaggi poco caratterizzati e una narrazione velocissima e confusionaria, quello che rimane dopo la lettura delle storie brevi di Fujimoto è la sensazione, quasi impercettibile, di un autore che in futuro saprà regalare trame esplosive e stravaganti. Con queste short stories ancora non si può parlare di un autore per cui valga la pena spendere dei soldi.
Regalatevi, invece, la gioia di vedere un Fujimoto, già maturo e bravo nell'arte del racconto, con l'altra collezione delle sue opere giovanili, "Tatsuki Fujimoto Short Stories 22-26".

These four short stories were definitely written by the same writer of Chainsaw Man. This collection of stories ranges from aliens to slice of life and you can tell Fujimoto really was just figuring out some storytelling and manga practices and having fun with these. Chainsaw Man definitely reads deeper than these stories, but these are still very fun nonetheless!

These early stories by the creator of Chainsaw Man are rough. They are obviously from someone still growing as a writer and artist. These stories are not bad but not nearly as good as most of Chainsaw Man.

Loved this collection! Fujimoto’s mind is so weird but entertaining. Love is Blind was probably my favorite story in this volume just because of the outrageous gag repeated over and over. Hilarious!

An interesting collection of one shots. The first one was maybe the weakest in my opinion, a cute premise but the ending was just kinda… it didnt fit with the beginning imo. The Sasaki Stopped a Bullet story had a cool message behind it, I just wish they had left the teacher out of the ending and left it more open ended.

Love is Blind was my favorite of the stories included, mainly because of the insight to its inspiration the author gave at the end. I enjoyed the pettiness of it, and the humor too. The final story kinda gave me vibes of Chainsaw Man, so you can kind of see the concepts percolating in the authors brain. It was enjoyable but not my absolute most favorite.

Overall a fun short story collection for a fan of Chainsaw Man to look into. Not required reading by far, but still enjoyable.

Recomendación manga: Historias cortas de Tatsuki Fujimoto!

🌕Hoy os traigo un par de recomendaciones que no solo me han sorprendido mucho sino que son geniales para quienes estáis deseando empezar con los mangas y no sabéis por donde: 17-21 y 22-26, historias cortas de T. Fujimoto!

🌘Tatsuki Fujimoto es uno de los autores más punteros de los últimos años, acaparando un gran éxito con sus series Chainsaw Man o Fire Punch. Pero mucho antes de esto ya había creado obras muy buenas como Look back o algunos de los relatos que os traigo hoy.

🌗17-21 y 22-26 son dos tomos que incluyen cada uno cuatro relatos que el autor empezó a crear cuando aún no era tan popular. En algunos de ellos el estilo es totalmente distinto al que posee actualmente mientras que en otras de las historias ya se empieza a perfilar ese dibujo tan característico del autor.

🌔Si no me equivoco los títulos de ambos mangas se refieren a las obras que creó desde los 17 a los 21 años, y de los 22 a los 26. Con lo cual podemos ver un gran avance entre unas historias y otras.

Os cuento un poco sobre los relatos:

1️⃣7️⃣➖2️⃣1️⃣

🐥Dos pollos en el patio
(súper chulo, temática extraterrestres)
🔫Sasaki ha parado una bala
(puede que fuera el que menos me gustó de este tomo pero el final es muy sorprendente, es el que se representa en la ilustración de portada)
💘El amor es ciego
(muy divertido, además tiene un guiño a Guía del autoestopista galáctico!)
🧛Shikaku
(muy bueno también, temática vampírica)

2️⃣2️⃣➖2️⃣6️⃣

🧜‍♀La rapsodia de la sirena
(un relato muy muy bien hecho!)
♀️Metamorfosis transfemenina nocturna
(este tira más a historia romántica, el dibujo me pareció muy chulo)
👿Nayuta de la profecía
(este sería el de la portada, es brutal y ya se ve una temática muy tipo chainsaw man!)
🖌️Mi hermana pequeña
(podríamos decir que era una idea previa de Look back, los personajes y la temática son muy similares)

🌙En resumen, os lo recomiendo muchísimo, son mangas autoconclusivos e historias cortitas que se pueden intercalar entre otras lecturas.

🌑También es buena opción para adentrarse en el manga o para conocer el estilo del autor antes de lanzarse a por las grandes series!

i have debated whether i should give it 5 stars or not, but all of the stories were very interesting and funny in their own ways and had me finish the volume in just a few minutes. solid one-shot collection for those who enjoy the weird stuff fujimoto pulls.

Bought this thinking it was a prequel to chainsaw man… it was not. A lighthearted collection of short stories, it was okay.

“There’s no such thing as a zero percent chance. It’s just that we’re all too lazy to bother with minuscule percentages, so we pretend they’re zero percent instead.”


After reading a few of Fujimoto's works I can say that his style of writing is very unique, filled with deep ideas and thoughts left open for the reader to interpret and fulfill as they will, and aspect that is really intriguing and compelling.

His writing is, in short truly iconic and a work of art.

Because of this, getting to see four of his earlier works was a really fun treat.

Each story is wildly different from the last, yet, all of them have undeniable charm and heart that is so intrinsically mixed into them that, at the very least, one of them will resonate deeply with you.

Unique, vibrant, fun, sad, and touching. This collection of one shots made me laugh, feel deeply, and be appalled all in the spend of a few minutes.

Really, after reading them I am all the more convinced that Fujimoto excels at telling shorter stories; and even though these are his older works I can say that I found some of my new favorites between them.

I really enjoyed reading this, but that is probably because I am a Tatsuki Fujimoto fan. It is very interesting to see where some of the themes and ideas came from before he made Chainsaw Man or Fire Punch.
If you are not a fan of either stories, then I can’t recommend this book. One of the stories is a fantastic short story, I’d recommend to anyone, but the other three are only stories I see fans of Tatsuki Fujimoto’s would enjoy.
But I enjoyed it tremendously and I think Tatsuki Fujimoto has always been a talented artist.

The first four comic stories created by a promising managaka, when he was studying art in college. Four good ideas (one with a great twist!), implemented in a naive and inevitably amateurish way. All four tales share the core theme of finding love. Only, love to be found in twisted situations, as per Fujimoto standards. The aspiration for weirdness was there from day one.

Content warnings: Genocide, humans as food, sexual harassment, attempted sexual assault, attempted gun violence, dead parent (father), body horror, gore, child neglect, attempted robbery

This first collection has four stories. “A Couple Clucking Chickens Were Still Kickin’ in the Schoolyard” is about two kids who wear chicken suits to hide from aliens. There’s some rumination on the way we consider cattle, but mostly it’s a story of deception and the lengths people are willing to go to survive.

“Sasaki Stopped a Bullet” might be difficult for some folks to read, as this one involves a rejected former colleague attempting to murder a school teacher. A student steps up and uses remarkably juvenile leaps of logic to avert a tragedy. This one I think I’ll be spinning in my head the most. Much like in Chainsaw Man and from what I experience so far in Fire Punch, though the answer to who and what is a villain seems easy, there’s a challenge to open one’s mind to compassion. The ending took my breath away.

Aliens strike again in “Love is Blind,” where a teen’s attempt to confess his love to his class president is interrupted by a robbery, and that robbery is interrupted by an attempted annihilation by alien technology. It’s fun. The teens are empty-headed, and I got a hearty chuckle out of this one.

The final story, “Shikaku,” is about contract killer who is summoned by a vampire to kill him before he dies of boredom. The romance in this one is so quirky and unexpected, and the way the crime and fantasy genres meld really resonated with me (especially as someone who also wrote a fantasy with crime elements). It might be my favorite in terms of immediate enjoyment of the entire duology of collections.

Although Tatsuki Fujimoto has now become a household name in the manga world with Chainsaw Man – currently being adapted by anime studio MAPPA to great success – the manga artist already had a long-running manga series, Fire Punch, which ran for eight volumes. However, like many manga artists, Fujimoto had produced a series of one-shots before jumping into the long-running format where they are able to showcase their art-styles. As the two-volume anthology collection of one-shot stories that Fujimoto wrote and illustrated, 17-21 covers four stories that the artist told during that age period in his life.

An absolutely fantastic short story/manga collection. There's aliens, love, science, morality--what more could you possibly want?

My favorite short story--though it is hard to pick--would probably have to be the tale about the school class president who wants only to confess his love to his vice president, only to be stopped by the principle, a mugger, and an alien invasion. With smart one-liners and action-packed illustrations, this is an absolute necessity for the tongue-in-cheek sci-fi lover.

“From age 17, that sense of powerlessness has always been following me around. Every time there was another tragedy, my sense that my pursuits serve no purpose at all grew bigger.
Looking at this collection of one-shots now, in that state of mind, I remembered a lot of things. Not just that I would draw while feeling powerless, but also that I would draw while really hungry, and how I was always practicing art with friends. It brought back memories so fun that I have to wonder why I’d only been remembering dark things.”

I just respect so much how Fujimoto tells a story

La primera historia me ha parecido horrible, la del amor ciego me ha hecho gracia, y la del niño de la luna me ha gustado aunque me cansa que siempre tenga que meter tema de violaciones o teta en to~
El último no me ha molado nada btw

A handful of one-shots done by Fujimoto from when he was 17-21. It’s fun to read through these stories and see his art style grow and develop.

Stories are a bit silly and childish, but nice to see the development of a manga artist. Only for hardcore Fujimoto fans.
