Shintaro Kago's debut work, originally published in 1988 in the magazine "Comic Box", was reprinted as a bonus pamphlet included with the 2015 collection "Uchuu (Sora) Kakeru Junjou". The story is about two biologists who land on a strange planet and study the confusing lifeforms they encounter...

Shinkai Yosuke is haunted by a past he cannot recall...and a body that is rapidly decomposing. Washed up on the shores of Japan, he is isolated by doctors eager to find out why he has been brought back to life only to suffer again a slow and gruesome death. But Shinkai knows he has little time left. He is desperate to find out who he really was, and why he has become a living corpse.

It is the 21st century, and technology has progressed further than humanity itself could imagine. 2003, Tobio, the son of the head of the Ministry of Science, is killed in an accident. Mad from his grief, his father, Dr. Tenma, orders immediately the construction of a new, robot Tobio - a child of science. While initially delighted at seeing his son reborn, gradually Tenma grew fed up at the fact that this new Tobio could not age and grow. In this newfound frustration, he sold him off to a robot circus. There 'Tobio' was given the new name Atom (Astro Boy). Later, he would be taken in by Professor Ochanomizu, who serves as his guardian. Human-robot conflict occurs over and over again, and is a major driving force. Atom never gets appreciation for his work in stopping plots and conspiracies on the international and even intergalactic scale solely because he is a robot. The authorities doubt him because he is a robot. And as a robot, he has difficulty fully connecting with not just the humans around him (like his school friends), but even his robot family. Atom's serialization was unfinished, as the magazine it was in ceased publication. While there was content for Atom after this, the narrative never properly concluded.
