This One Shot was published in "Weekly Shonen King" as the second part of "Kami no Toride" in January 1975. The war is finally over, but this time a desperate food crisis has come, and Tetsuro Osamu struggle to survive has begun again. Osamu steals potatoes from the fields, draws portraits for the occupation soldiers, and receives sweets in exchange for pocket money. For those who have to make it through the day, even the dead bodies of the dead are out of sight. Although the story is light-hearted and filled with gags, it has a sense of reality that could only have been depicted by someone who actually lived during this period. Initially, Tezuka planned to make this a trilogy of "Kami no Toride", but the third part was never drawn.
