Synopsis Soseki Natsume's "Kokoro", Osamu Dazai's "No longer Human" (Ningen Shikaku) and and "Run, Melos!" (Hashire Melos). Ryunosuke Akutagawa's "Hell Screen" (Jigoku hen), Ryunosuke Akutagawa's "The Spider's Thread" (Kumo no Ito), Ango Sakaguchi's "In the Forest, Under Cherries in Full Bloom" (Sakura no Mori no Mankai no Shita).

Review Manga artists Takeshi Obata (Death Note), Takeshi Konomo (Prince of Tennis), and Tite Kubo (Bleach) are involved in the animation's designs. The first one, which was a grim adult tale set in early 20th century Japan, seemed a bit long and depressing. "In the Forest-" is totally different in style and content, and is superb. "Kokoro" is different again, and again superb. "Run, Melos" is excellent. It refers to an ancient Greek story.

Credits Staff are different for each story. See Animenewsnetwork Encyclopedia for exhaustive listing.
