Kazuhiro Fujita's Short Stories
Kazuhiro Fujita's Short Stories is a Japanese manga anthology by Kazuhiro Fujita, published by Shogakukan. It has two volumes: Yoru no Uta (Night Songs) and Akatsuki no Uta (Dawn Songs).
Yoru no Uta was released on July 18, 1995. It collects five stories that appeared in Shogakukan’s Weekly Shōnen Sunday and Shōnen Sunday Zōkan from 1988 to 1994. One story, Puppet Princess, was adapted into a 42‑minute original video animation (OVA) by TMS Entertainment and released on March 24, 2000. Media Blasters licensed the OVA for North America and released it on VHS and later DVD (license announced December 2000; DVD released September 25, 2001). In 2006, a bunkoban re‑release of Yoru no Uta added a new story titled In the Forest with Aki.
Akatsuki no Uta was released on February 18, 2004. It collects four stories that appeared from 1996 to 2003 in Weekly Shōnen Sunday and Weekly Young Sunday. The bunkoban edition, released in 2006, adds a new story called Sword-Carrying Stone Buddha.
The Puppet Princess OVA is the only adaptation from these volumes. It was later released on Blu‑ray and DVD on February 23, 2021, after earlier VHS and DVD releases.
