Super-Frog Saves Tokyo

"˜What you see with your eyes is not necessarily real"™ A lavishly illustrated edition of Murakami"™s classic short story. Katagiri found a giant frog waiting for him in his apartment. It was powerfully built, standing over six feet tall on its hind legs. A skinny little man no more than five foot three, Katagiri was overwhelmed by the frog''s imposing bulk. "˜Call me "Frog,""™ said the frog in a clear, strong voice. Katagiri stood rooted in the doorway, unable to speak. "˜Don''t be afraid. I''m not here to hurt you. Just come and close the door. Please. "™ Briefcase in his right hand, grocery bag with fresh vegetables and canned salmon cradled in his left arm, Katagiri didn''t dare move. "˜Please, Mr. Katagiri, hurry and close the door, and take off your shoes. "™ Fully illustrated and beautifully designed, this special edition of Murakami"™s celebrated short story sees the bewildered Katagiri find meaning in his humdrum life through joining forces with Frog in an effort to save Tokyo from an existential threat.
