“

As you might already know, Kishibe Rohan is a spin-off character from Part 4 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (see Volume 34) who works as a manga artist. He has a Stand ability that allows him to turn people into books; this allows him to read their raw memories and thoughts as text, as well as write into and manipulate them. This book is a short story collection of Rohan's observations. I drew the first of these works in 1997, so I am very happy and grateful that they have finally been gathered into one book. This collection of five spooky stories features a wide variety of settings, from Italy to the mountains to the coast. If you were to enjoy them, it would make me even happier.

ご存知かもしれませんが、「岸辺露伴」は「ジョジョの奇妙な冒険　第４部」（JC34巻）に登場する、職業が漫画家のスピンオフキャラクターです。人を本にして、その人物の生の記憶や想いを文字で読むことができ、また書き込んで操ることが可能というスタンド能力を持っています。本書は、その露伴先生の見聞録短編集です。
一番最初に描いたのが１９９７年の作品なので、この度、一冊に集まってくれたのが本当に嬉しくて感謝したい。
内容も舞台がイタリアから山奥から海岸まで、バラエティに富んでいる５つの不気味話がそろってくれたので、楽しんで頂けると更に嬉しく思います。
