'Aren't you trying to succeed as a writer alone with this work? Hey, Yoshino.'

◆ Mezom Haru (Partner) *Original text

When I decided to become a comedian
I had all kinds of dreams and hopes
I wanted to do a solo live at a full-house Lumine Yoshimoto
I wanted to do comedy in various places
I wanted to appear on variety shows and interact with my favorite comedians
I wanted to reach the finals of the M-1 Grand Prix
I wonder if any of these dreams and hopes will come true, or perhaps it won't be that easy, I thought as I entered this world
When I actually entered, reality was different from my ideals in both good and bad ways
There are days when I have to do 5 sets in one day
There are auditions for variety shows, and sometimes I'm asked to do a 30-second self-introduction bit
Or rather, there are hundreds of people in my generation, and in the theater pyramid, there are so many funny seniors and juniors honing their skills
I thought, what a great world
This year marks my 10th year in the business
I got a call from my manager.
'Yoshino is going to publish a novel. Please provide a message.'
I can't predict it!!!!!! What is this reality!
It's too funny!!
I had imagined a full-house Lumine Yoshimoto solo, M-1 Grand Prix finals, performing on TV...
I had imagined it, but I was able to make it a reality, thankfully, though it was like a dream within a dream...
The partner is publishing a novel!!!!!!
Unexpected!!!! Or rather, amazing!! What's going on?
Even after finishing reading, I don't understand the meaning.
It's not like I picked up a light novel from a bookstore, read it, and thought, 'This work was interesting... If the next work by this author comes out, I might buy it again...'
No, while reading, I thought
'This kind of phrase is so familiar...'
'This metaphorical expression fits so well...'
There were times like that. But the reading experience was amazing thanks to 10 years of accumulation.
When Yoshino went viral on YouTube and became known to the public before the duo's fame
There was a time when he said, 'I want to work hard on comedy, I want to make it big with Mezom'
But with this work, aren't you trying to succeed as a writer alone? Hey, Yoshino. How is it. It's not, right?
Aren't you trying to be called 'sensei'? Hey, Yoshino.
If I'm ever locked in a hotel, I'll break away from the editor's restraints and go to rehearsal. If a signing event is held at a bookstore for the publication anniversary, I'll bring dozens of junior comedians and go around. Hey, Yoshino. Hey. Am I going to go to Southeast Asia alone in a few years and become an entertainer like Weak Piece-san? Hey, Yoshino. Hey... Hey!!!!!!

● About 'Osananajimi Soukoukai'

■ A unique story filled with abnormal longing and passion for childhood friends

The author, Yoshino Oinarikun, was selected as a finalist in the M-1 Grand Prix 2025 and became a topic of conversation as the 'strongest 10th place in history'. He is also active as a member of the popular room-sharing YouTube channel 'Itabashi House' with 775,000 subscribers, making him a notable comedian.

This work, 'Osananajimi Soukoukai', is a work in which Yoshino's abnormal obsession with 'childhood friends' is packed. A man with excessive longing for his childhood friend aims to build an 'ideal childhood friend relationship' through time leap, and in the process, unknowingly saves the people around him. It is a unique story development that is easy to read with a love-comedy theme, but does not progress in a romantic direction.
