This is not 'boasting,' but a 'way of life.' The philosophy of an overwhelming protagonist is here!

Serialization by Yasu of the popular comedy duo Nightingale Dance on Walkerplus has been eagerly awaited as a book, with additional new material. This single volume condenses his unique philosophy of life, living as 'the sole protagonist' of his own life.
