There may be significant errors in my synopsis; if so, I would be grateful if readers would point them out. (mail to 100722.2624@compuserve.com). ECCENTRICS seems to be about schoolgirls, love, and art; as such it's refreshingly different from the bulk of translated manga available in the West. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHARACTERS: YUKI Senju - a senior highschool girl YUKI - Senju's mother YUKI - Senju's father YAMADA - Senju's scruffy boyfriend HIKAWA Emiko - senior high school girl ,Senju's friend (straight shoulder length hair) HIGURASHI - senior high school girl (curly hair) HIRASAKA Eiji - an artist (dark cloak) KASHIMA, Dr. - psychoanalyst HAYASHI-Sensei - HIikawa's boyfriend -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- P.1 (colour) Narrative: (this narrative is about an intense dream, about the right hand not knowing what the left hand was doing.
