A compilation of short stories by Maruo. Summarizing them is a challenging task, as they primarily explore unusual mental states rather than following a conventional plot.

Like most of Maruo-sensei's work, Paranoia Star is strange enough and intense enough to make the average person delusional. Beautiful art combined with brain-breaking mind-trips make this a sheer delight. Each story is centered around a different concept.
