Detective George's Mini-Mini Big Strategy
Detective George's Mini-Mini Big Strategy (探偵ジョージのミニミニ大作戦 Tantei Jōji no Minimini Daisakusen) is a series of short stories about the super small private detective George Kirishima (桐島 祥二 Kirishima Jōji) and his young secretary Asami Ashikawa (芦川 麻美 Ashikawa Asami). Despite his unusually small stature, George manages to solve all the cases that come his way.
The Great Detective Appears!
While on the run from some men dressed in black, Asami Ashikawa runs up a flight of stairs on a nearby building and discovers the Kirishima Detective Agency. She asks if anyone is there and explains that she's being chased. A voice answers her from the seemingly empty room. After searching the room, Asami discovers the voice came from a tiny man standing on a desk. The man introduces himself as George Kirishima just as the men in black arrive at the agency. George manages to distract them and yells for Asami to hit for the restroom. Pulling a cord hanging from the ceiling, the floor of the restroom gives way to a chute allowing George and Asami to land in a car waiting below. Will the two be able to escape the men in black this way? And why is Asami being chased in the first place?
Monster of the Ice Country
Asami as George's new secretary begins her day early by helping prepare breakfast for George. After George makes a negative comment towards her food however, Asami takes the plate away leaving George to go grab food from the refrigerator on his own. Thinking she had left the door ajar, Asami closes the fridge door trapping George inside. George begins to feel cold and lights a fire inside the fridge using his lighter. The fire causes some frost to melt, landing water on a cockroach on a lower shelf. Irritated, the monstrous cockroach chases after George. How will George get himself out of this mess?
I AM A DENTIST
George goes for a drive in his remote control Aston Martin only to have his drive interrupted when some boys decide to play with him and the car like toys. George manages to escape in the car and splashes mud from a mud puddle onto the boys driving them away. A girl George recognizes from the toy shop spots him and not wanting to be messed with, George splashes her too. George's victory is short-lived however when he discovers the he and the car are sinking into the puddle. The girl decides to rescue George and takes him home with her and dresses him up like a doll, forces him into a tea party, and play with her. Not amused, George attempts to sneak away while playing hide-and-seek only to discover the girl is being teased by some local neighborhood kids. How can George stop the kids when he's so little?

During the collision Keisuke's telephone card and a man named Gray's card fall out onto the street. Gray accidentally grabs Keisuke's telephone card by mistake, thinking it's his own card, while Keisuke ends up grabbing the other card. Gray accidentally leaves behind edible alcoholic capsules which Keisuke mistakenly eats because he's hungry. It isn't until later that Gray discovers Keisuke grabbed his card, which is the activation key for a weaponized satellite system.
Drunk, Keisuke ignores his ex-girlfriend's request to not call her and mistakenly uses the activation key as a telephone card. Inputting his message to the ex-girlfriend, he activates a countdown for the satellite, setting Earth as its target. Much to Gray's dismay, because Keisuke was drunk he doesn't remember the passcode number he input for the satellite.

To solve his problem, Yutaka builds a time machine with the intent of going back in time two years in order to be the same age as Mamiko. Mamiko expressed her concerns about there being two Yutakas around, but Yutaka explains that his younger self will simply be erased from the time-stream. While Yutaka is distracted just before using the machine, Mamiko takes the machine, sets the dial for the future, and jumps off the school roof, telling Yutaka to "Wait for me". Alarmed, Yutaka discovers that Mamiko has set herself forward two years in time and that everyone, including Mamiko's family, is beginning to forget she ever existed. If Yutaka forgets, Mamiko will end up falling to her death at the school two years later.
