Description

This OVA recounts two more experiences of manga author Rohan Kishibe, who seeks inspiration for his works from his travels around the world but usually gets involved in strange, supernatural incidents.

Episode 1: “Zange-shitsu”
Rohan finds himself in Italy, in the city of Venice, after having to put work on his manga on hold for a while. While visiting a church, he looks at the inside of a confessional. Soon, however, Rohan involuntarily finds himself in the role of confessor when someone else enters the confessional and begins to tell of one of his sins: some time ago, he forced a half-starved Asian beggar to carry heavy sacks of grain until he died of exhaustion. The ghost of the beggar appeared to the confessor and swore to take revenge. Several years later, the ghost returned to put his announcement into practice …

Episode 2: “The Run”
This time, Rohan finds himself in a place that has very little to do with the supernatural: a gym. There, he meets the young Youma Hashimoto, who has become a famous model in almost no time. But with growing fame came vanity, and so Youma spends more and more time taking care of his body until, eventually, his life consists only of that. Anyway, Rohan and Youma quickly become rivals, and soon a joint workout on the treadmill degenerates into a competition with serious consequences …

Diese OVA erzählt zwei weitere Erlebnisse des Manga-Autors Rohan Kishibe, der aus seinen Reisen durch die Welt Inspiration für seine Werke gewinnen will, aber meistens in seltsame, übernatürliche Vorfälle verwickelt wird.

Episode 1: »Zange-shitsu«
Rohan verschlägt es nach Italien, in die Stadt Venedig, nachdem er die Arbeiten an seinem Manga erst einmal auf Eis hat legen müssen. Während er eine Kirche besucht, betrachtet er dort das Innere eines Beichtstuhls. Schon bald aber gerät Rohan unfreiwillig in die Rolle des Beichtvaters, als jemand anderes den Beichtstuhl betritt und anfängt, von einer seiner Sünden zu erzählen: Vor geraumer Zeit zwang er einen halb verhungerten asiatischen Bettler dazu, schwere Getreidesäcke zu schleppen, bis dieser vor Erschöpfung verstarb. Dessen Geist erschien dem Beichtenden und schwor, Rache zu nehmen. Etliche Jahre später kehrte der Geist zurück, um seine Ankündigung in die Tat umzusetzen …

Episode 2: »The Run«
Dieses Mal verschlägt es Rohan an einen Ort, der mit dem Übernatürlichen ziemlich wenig zu tun hat: In ein Fitnessstudio. Dort trifft er auf den jungen Youma Hashimoto, der in kürzester Zeit zu einem berühmten Model geworden ist. Doch mit der wachsenden Bekanntheit kam auch die Eitelkeit und so verbringt Youma zunehmend mehr Zeit mit der Pflege seines Körpers, bis sein Leben schließlich nur noch daraus besteht. Rohan und Youma werden jedenfalls schnell zu Rivalen und schon bald artet ein gemeinsames Training auf dem Laufband zu einem Wettstreit mit gravierenden Konsequenzen aus …
