Summary

Plot:1) Beauty and the BeastIt is almost like Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. But this story is a little bit different. There is a man with 2 daughters and a beautiful youngest son. The son’s name is Belle. One day, the father went out to town for business. He got the daughters’ presents except the son. Then, suddenly he saw an extraordinary rose and pluck it for his son’s present. A beast came out and shouted…if you want your life to be spared, bring your youngest son to this castle… The man had no choice but to ask his son to go to the castle. Will Belle go to the castle? 2) Glass Pen (Penderella)Once upon a time there was a mangaka’s assistant (slave)… you can guess where this is going can’t you? Penderella dreams of being a mangaka, but his mangaka (step-mother) boss is never satisfied with his work. One day there is a mangaka ball, but Penderella is strictly told he cannot go unless he finishes all his ‘chores’ in time… 3) Fox and the MonkA little fox fairy is flawed at human transformation, always keeping both ears and tail. One day he tries to trick a traveller with his transformation but fails, yet brashly says ‘im the strongest fox fairy’. The traveller, recently cheated by a greedy monk asks the little fox to prove it – and so delivers the little fox to the greedy monk.
