Yosuke's family has a strange tradition - once every sixty years they receive an egg from a mermaid. When the egg matures his family dutifully returns it to the sea, where the whole process is then repeated. In exchange for this favor, the mer-people bless his coastal town with bountiful catches of fish and calm seas. But as a commercial development encroach on the sleepy seaside village and Yosuke's father is lured away from tradition towards modern properity, and turns the egg into a tourist trap, what will happen to the promise their family made to the mermaids generations ago? Tropic of the Sea Satoshi Kon's first feature length manga, includes a dozen black and white art plates from his original release, along with a 5-page essay written by Kon in 1999 detailing his transition from the manga industry to the animation business.

The buds of dream-like themes and imaginative worldviews that would blossom in his later animated works are also readily apparent. Yes the flights of fancy are anchored by knowing, empathetic portrayals of the very human nature of each story.

Satoshi Kon's high-quality masterpieces will always be sorely missed not only by Japanese but international anime film fans all over the world. This publication, long-awaited by Kon fans and cinephiles, contains all the storyboards and behind-the-scenes documents of the critically acclaimed animation movie, "Paprika." Papurika is a visually spectacular adaption of a science fiction novel intended not just for children or young generation. Its fragmental and fantastical images stunningly reproduce the Sci-Fi world of the novel originally written by the writer Yasutaka Tsutsui. The feature interviews with Kon and Tsutsui are also included, followed by the talk with the executive director of the production company, Madhouse. Kon was always recognized for his elaborate techniques; however, it can be said that he reached the height of virtuosity in this movie Paprika when comparing to his first movie, Perfect Blue. Originally, the Paprika storyboard was just the added bonus item included in the DVD set released in 2007. Having been given a new look this time as a complete storyboard, it will be the absolute textbook for film direction.
