U12 Kodomo Fellows

Promotional anthology distributed to readers of Harta magazine who mailed in the offer printed in volume 30 (and reissued with volume 34), featuring short manga from a wide roster of contributors writing on the shared theme of children. The lineup mixes everyday childhood scenes, fairy-tale-flavoured vignettes, fantasy and supernatural pieces, and quiet character studies, with each chapter being a one-shot by a different author. The collection functions as a sampler of the artists publishing in Harta, with contributions ranging from comedic gag strips to more reflective dramatic shorts and entries connected to ongoing series by their respective creators.
