Originally published in comic strip format in AsianWeek in 2002. The collected Fleep won the 2003 Ignatz Award for Outstanding Story, and Time Magazine described Fleep as "ingenious", "far from predictable", and "worthy of Arthur Conan Doyle". The Comics Journal considered its ending to be "quite shocking", and an example of the "strain of nihilism" in Shiga's work.
