Synopsis

A shoujo manga anthology containing four oneshots by three mangaka, meant to showcase the many possibilities of the genre.

- Promise (by Keiko Nishi)
Reiko's mother hasn't been herself since Reiko's twin brother died. Reiko meets a mysterious boy about her age, and he fills the emptiness in her life -- but who is he?

- They Were Eleven (by Moto Hagio)
A group of potential students to an elite interstellar academy are split into groups of ten and sent to various satellites to take their final test: last together for one orbit. One group, however, finds that there are not ten of them there, but eleven, and it's a mystery how the eleventh got there or what they hope to gain.

- The Changeling (by Shio Sato)
Two astronauts meet an outsider on a planet that they land on.

- Since You've Been Gone by (Keiko Nishi)
A married man is cheating on his wife with a college student. While he stays at his mistress' house, he wonders just why he got married and how important each woman really is to him.

User Recommendations

Two collections of mature, thoughtful short stories with science fiction or supernatural elements.
Well outside the similar art and both being originally published around the same time, it feels like thematically Banana Bread Puddling would go well with the sorts of stories you find in Four Shoujo Stories. While FSS is an anthology, all the stories in it and Banana Bread Pudding focus on human nature and tackle their stories in unusual and interesting ways.
