Volume 11 in Mohiken’s Para-Para Flipbooks series introduces an all-new feature: three tabs that can be flipped separately to make for three stories in one.

Come one, come all to the Three Tree Shops mall. “Will I find what I want?” you ask? Well, you won’t know until you jump down the hole—and don’t forget to pay on your way out, of course! Here’s what customers have been saying about each shop:

Roots Barbershop ★★★★★
I happened to be nearby, so I dropped in for the first time. My hair had been growing out for way too long so I got freshened up and it was great. The place looks a little bare, but the barber skills are amazing and I couldn’t have been more satisfied. I feel like a whole new me. Will come again!
Surprise! Restaurant ★★★★☆
This was my first visit to this upscale restaurant that I’d heard so much about. I was a little surprised by the way to my table, but once I got there the service was impeccable and the dinner courses delicious, just like everyone said. I took off one star, though, on account of my initial confusion.
Birdy Florists ★☆☆☆☆
I came to get flowers to give to my girlfriend when I asked her to marry me. The flowers here looked exactly the way I wanted, simple and charming and not too fancy, except that they also had this fowl smell. Definitely not for people who want to enjoy flowers for their scent.

Mohiken, short for “Mou Hitotsu no Kenkyujo” or “The Other Workshop,” is the originator of Seigensha’s best-selling Para-Para Flipbooks series. The name of the group comes from the premise that the members belong to one of Santa’s workshops that keeps on making gifts too offbeat to get his stamp of approval.
