The Barber's Dilemma and Other Stories from Manmaru Street

Zany artist Koki Oguma loves to wander around his neighbourhood in Tokyo, watching people go about their business. Then he goes home with his head full of ideas, and starts to doodle. Sometimes his scribbles take on a life of their own, and he's not sure what they're meant to be. So he talks to them, to find out more, and see what they can be turned into.

A barber would have fun with this beard. Or would he be nervous? Hmm... read the story and find out!
