When a witch named Sudama appears, she signs a contract with Hanri to obtain his soul in exchange for fulfilling three of his wishes. Hanri gets what he wants...but the price he pays is too high.

In Tomorrow the Birds - It started with several minor but unusual attacks by birds against humans, more a nuisance than anything. However, as birds capable of arson began to appear, things began to escalate. Eventually, a highly intelligent leader of the birds emerges to begin negotiations with humankind on behalf of his people... What force jump-started the birds' wild jump in evolution? And what will be the fate of humans in this new world order?
In Neo Faust - After years of failure to discover the meaning of the universe, Professor Ichinoseki decides to end his own life, but he is interrupted by the sorceress Mephisto. They strike a bargain: in exchange for Ichinoseki's soul, Mephisto will grant his wish for a fulfilled life...
