Maigo No Essence (Lost Essence) is a compilation of short stories on human culture, society, tragedy and pratfalls. (mostly tragedy) There are 5 stories, each one exactly 4 pages in length. There are stories in here that I hope will make you laugh, cry, think, and say "What the Hell?!" If I can do this, then I have achieved my goal as a manga-ka, which is what I set out to do- make people feel for characters like they were real people. ^_^ I now am prepared to share this experience with you. Enjoy!                                           ~Melissa Prosser~ 4/3/2001
