Based on the horror manga ''Mumako'' by Fujio (A) Fujiko.
Fujiko Fujio A no Mumako consists of three short stories. Each story features its own protagonist, who suffers from some kind of stress caused by societal pressure. The only shared character across the stories is the titular side character Mumako, who, by the end of each story, grants a twisted interpretation of a wish which physically transforms the main character.
The titles of each story are an allusion to the nature of the transformation. In order of appearance, the stories are titled Castle (城), Transformation (変身), and Slough (脱皮).

Where it came from
Fujiko Fujio A no Mumako was released in 1990 as an original video animation, serving as part of a broader push to adapt the diverse, often surreal catalog of Hiroshi Fujimoto and Motoo Abiko into animated formats. Produced during a period where the creators' individual creative identities were increasingly distinct, this project draws from the absurdist humor and gentle subversion that characterized Fujiko Fujio A's solo works, which frequently featured quirky protagonists caught in inexplicable, supernatural, or whimsical life situations.
The character design and visual direction mirror the clean, deceptively simple aesthetic common to the studio's output in the late eighties and early nineties. The animation was crafted to preserve the expressive, slightly rounded line work found in the original manga source material, ensuring the transition from print to screen retained the lighthearted, occasionally satirical tone intended by the author. It is recognized by scholars of the medium as a niche but characteristic entry in the studio’s extensive portfolio of experimental short-form storytelling.
