Uramichi is a 31-year old children's TV host who leads physical exercises and teaches life lessons colored by one main theme: adulthood sucks. Alongside mascots played by a couple of bushy-tailed millennials, and a singing duo whose music embodies the notion of being kicked while you're down, Uramichi wades through the misery of working life, one sardonic comment at a time...

Despite his best efforts, Uramichi continues to find himself at the mercy of the outrageous demands of his fellow coworkers and management. Whether it's looking after someone's pet or younger sibling, or drumming up new designs for Hanbei's merch, the paths to escape responsibility are too few and far between.
Then, just as he's reaching for a lifeline during one of his most grueling days yet, his old college acquaintance Nekota appears. Could someone with such a different take on adulthood be Uramichi's salvation?
Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 272 pages, B&W.
