Tokyo: From the Start, the Neighbor's Wife Wakes Me Up

If you had the chance to start over, what kind of life would you want to live? After transmigrating to Tokyo in the 1990s, when the economic bubble had burst, Fujiwara Ao is rescued by his female neighbor from the start and realizes just how dire his situation is: the economy is in recession, society is in turmoil, his family is a mess, he has no job, and the money he has left won't cover even a month's expenses… Is it a disaster from the start? Not at all. Modern ideas and the memories he brought with him are the most powerful cheat codes around. What to do when you're broke? Fujiwara Ao says, sell skewers, draw manga, start a company... Just a few simple steps, and his wallet is full and his life is suddenly comfortable. What to do when life gets boring? Fujiwara Ao says, no problem at all. He can chat now and then with his confidantes, make the games he loves, and release the hit songs in his head to give everyone a little taste of a transmigrator's shock and awe. Years later, Fujiwara Ao has become the king of Chinese restaurant chains, the god of manga, a hit game designer, a legendary music producer, the founder of the Aoto Company, the youngest legislator in history, and a top angel investor. When the man every other man wishes he could replace is interviewed by a TV reporter, he says, “The thing I regret most in my life is setting up my skewer cart that afternoon...” This book is also known as Tokyo: I Started by Selling Skewers and Made Millions, Tokyo: They're All My Wings, Tokyo: Nobody Understands... Better Than Me, and Tokyo: I've Transmigrated, So Who Still Dates?
