Aizawa Minami is a girl who has never cried in her life. She's awkward with her feelings, and she carries a camcorder to film everything she likes. Because of her quirks, she's labeled as a freak and alienated by her classmates.
Satoru is her classmate and a recently retired teen actor who understands her. They quickly become friends, but what Minami doesn't know is that Satoru is hiding his secret from the world...
The main character's name, "Kitty 101", was given to her by a scientist named Troll. Kitty 101 was biologically created by combining several strings of DNA with man-made DNA. She was also given an XY chromosome which turns her into a male on a regular basis.
When she was a baby, Kitty 101 was stolen by one of Troll's scientists, Jason Haven, who wanted to save her from the experiments. He named her Mars Haven and brought her up as his own daughter because she reminded him of his lost daughter.
Time passes, and Troll proceeds with his experiments on the ESPs under his disposal.
Short story collection of a variety of more mature Tezuka work. The story "Clockwork Apple" was borrowed from the book, before the movie was made, but has very little to do with the book either as Tezuka admits to writing it without reading Clockwork Orange.
