The Salamander 

"It is said that salamanders have no memory of the past because of the polluted water." This work follows a salamander waking up in a sewer with no recollection of the past, but out of place, as if they were reborn as a completely different creature. The salamander grows accustomed to their new habitat until one day when an incomprehensible object appears in the sewer. Note: Published in Monthly Manga Garo No. 33 (May 1967).
