Love Story 1: Shogo in World War 2
In a twist of fate as strange as a Zeus in a haunted house, “Apollo’s Song” turns Shogo into a Nazi who finds himself falling for a Jewish girl.
Their love story is as unlikely as finding a unicorn in a crowded city – but hey, stranger things have happened!
You may despise the Nazi soldiers with every fiber of your being, but for some inexplicable reason, Shogo manages to charm your socks off. It’s like trying to resist a puppy with a wagging tail, a mischievous twinkle in his eye, and a tendency to accidentally trip over his own shoelaces.

Apollo’s Song: Love Story 2
Hold onto your seatbelts, because Shogo’s plane crash landed him in a real-life episode of “Lost”! Now he’s stranded on an island with a photographer lady. Will they uncover hidden secrets, encounter wild creatures, or stumble upon a coconut-powered radio?
Shogo and his lady friend are giving new meaning to the term “the opposite of a romantic dinner”! After a heated argument, Shogo decides to go his own way. He has to eat something for dinner, so he cooks up one of the animals over a fire.
Little does he know that the other animals on the island are not impressed with his culinary skills and are ready to kick him out of the jungle faster than a kitchen on fire! Where is this all going to go?
After spending what felt like an eternity stranded on a deserted island, our protagonist finally snaps out of his coconut-induced stupor. He looks around in disbelief, realizing he’s no longer in paradise but back in the same old boring office with the meddling doctor standing over him.
It turns out his escape from reality was just a fantasy, much to his dismay. Looks like his vacation dreams have been officially shattered, courtesy of Dr. Meddlesome.
Love Story 3 in Apollo’s Song
Shogo was reaching his breaking point at the mental institution. Just when he thought things couldn’t get any weirder, he met a young nympho in the garden.
But things turn out bad. The unsettling question lingered – did Shogo play a role in her untimely demise? Whether he had fled or remained trapped in the menacing web of uncertainty, the shadows of his past loomed large, hinting at troubles yet to come. Best of luck, Shogo, for the challenges ahead may test him more than any of his previous love encounters.
Unexpectedly, Shogo was suddenly thrust into a surreal encounter with a mysterious lady, as though he had unknowingly wandered onto the set of a twisted psychological thriller.
What in the world could this mysterious lady possibly want with Shogo, besides stealing his heart or maybe trying to recruit him for her extravagant tea party club?
As Shogo collapsed onto the ground, invoking the Greek God Apollo with all the grace of a clumsy ostrich, the question loomed in the air: would this be the comical end of poor Shogo?
All signs pointed towards a disastrous outcome for our hapless hero. But this is no where near the end of the book. Actually, it’s not even half way, since this Apollo scene happens on page 239 of the 541 page book.

He spots the Queen.
But little did Shogo know, he had stumbled into a realm beyond his wildest imagination – a bizarre universe where the shelves in one room were lined with jars containing heads! It was like a wacky graphic novel meets a twisted episode of “Futurama”.
Poor Shogo had certainly not signed up for this on his vacation itinerary!
In a plot twist straight out of a sci-fi romcom, Shogo discovered that he had landed in a world ruled by clones with an insatiable curiosity – they just wanted to feel what it was like being human, especially the Queen.
Greek Gods in Apollo’s Song
It was like the ultimate crossover event when Apollo, the Greek God himself, decided to crash the party in “Apollo’s Song”. Talk about a cameo! It was as if Zeus himself had shown up at a toga party.
Apollo’s sudden appearance in his own namesake book had the characters scratching their heads and wondering if they had accidentally stumbled into a Greek mythology remix. The book just got a whole lot more divine…and a whole lot more confusing!
Then, just when you thought things couldn’t get any crazier in “Apollo’s Song,” Athena swoops in for a second round of cryptic wisdom like a Goddess on a mission to mess with Shogo’s love life. It was like a philosophical rap battle between love-stricken mortals and powerful deities.
