"If you were doing paperwork all day long, you'd think you were dying too!"

There are two collected versions of Patalliro being published: The tankoubon version (90 volumes at last count), and the condensed bunko version (48 volumes, ongoing). The tankoubon version also has AU stories with the Patalliro characters and unrelated horror and sci-fi short stories. These summaries will just include the Patalliro stories.
