This review covers CTRL+T and CTRL+T mini. Both are collections of short stories (more like graphics samples) from Inio Asano's brilliant work. Overall, a must-see for the manga reader.
First, the plots.
CTRL+T is a mini-story, Himawari, that shows the retreat from society of a former bus driver, after being accused of having caused a deadly accident. Tormented by memories, unable to go on in spite of parents' and a former love's attention, the story tells us what the man turns into.
CTRL-T mini covers two mini-stories. The first mini-story is a slice-of-life turned love story between two young university graduates. Looking for an apartment, scared about the future, the two debate in a few languid panels their future together. The second mini-story is set in the Goodnight Punpun universe.
Then, the graphics. With the exception of the Punpun mini-story, the graphics are fantastic! We get the most detailed, high-quality panels in the unique style of Inio Asano (see Solanin for a longer story in the style). The depiction of light effects is detailed and masterful. The cityscapes are accomplished and truthful. The faces are beautiful to look at and semi-realistic. etc.
Next, the characters. There's not much room in a mini-story for truly developing your characters, but Asano does an excellent job with the main character in CTRL+T; the lead character in the first mini-story of CTRL+T mini is clearly contoured as well. They are average people, pretty much the types of characters TATSUMI Yoshihiro would show in his triplet Push Man, Good-Bye, and Abandon the Old in Tokyo; perhaps the main differences are the era (1990s? vs 1950s), and that Inio Asano seems to like and care for his characters.

Feels like a collection of ideas for future full mangas, with a sneak peak into Oyasumi PunPun.

The two one-shots here were meh, but the art extras were amazing. Absolutely worth buying for the artwork.

Gorgeous art, as per. But I didn't like the two stories. Preferred the sketches and fun color use.

Ah, tak kirain isinya side Story nya Solanin aja. gataunya ada beberapa cerita lain juga.
kurang banyak nih side Story nya Solanin. padahal kayaknya seru kalau penghuni baru bekas apartemennya Meiko nge-band juga trus suatu hari ketemu.
alias
cerita2 disini masih sad juga :'(

Sehr schöne Zeichnungen und irgendwie sehr merkwürdige Kurzgeschichten, bei denen ich nicht verstanden habe, worum es da eigentlich geht. Allerdings mochte ich es.
