It is about a little boy, the son of a scientist, who dreams of traveling to Mars with his two friends (a cat and a dog) . In Kisha Ryokō ( 記者 旅行 , dt. "A train journey"), which came out as a bound volume in 1941, Ōshiro describes the train journey of a father with his son from Tokyo to Kyōto . Both manga were first published as a three-color book.
