Proper Japanese Title: 黄昏流星群
Originally serialized in Big Comic Original.
"In the later years of their lives, men and women sometimes find themselves in the glow of love. Their love stories are shining like shooting stars in the twilight" is the tag line that accompanies every volume of the series, similar to Goosebumps's "Reader Beware—You're in for a Scare!". This series also stands out because similar to Golgo 13, the chapters aren't compiled in the publication order, this series can do this because there isn't really an ongoing plot at all, having tales from different middle-aged people around Japan, whether they are drama stories, romance stories, or a mix of both. This series has also seen it's fair share of drama and movie adaptations over the years, becoming one of Big Comic Original's "trademark" series.
Another fun fact of the series is that each and every story has something related to stars in it's name, whether it be literally, types of stars (constellations, pulsars), or festivals about stars (like Tanabata).
