Shokubutsu Zukan

A compilation of short stories centered around plant-related themes. One story follows a boy showing signs of a condition resembling that of a man-eating plant. Another involves two boys in a relationship, both secretly dating the same teacher, who is troubled by a missing ring. A third story is about a flower that grows by absorbing memories, suggesting that some cherished feelings remain even when memories fade. In another, Byakuya suffers from an incurable, undying illness, and his best friend Gin has upheld a promise to care for him for 16 generations, with the sixteenth Gin choosing a different way to honor the vow. Additional stories are included, though details are not specified.
