Bye-Bye Road
バイバイロード
Baibai Roodo

A very short story involving a group of street salesmen trying to make a pitch to a young student. The salesmen relentlessly pursue the hapless boy as he flees from their unceasing sales pitches. It also marked the debut of Spark Enjou, Takahashi's first recurring character who later reappears in Equation of Nirvana. This was Takahashi's earliest "polished" piece and helped to show the direction her career was to take. It marks the first of her stories to use screentones and a serious, professional look.
