Thirteen-year-old Shimizu Shinichi has just experienced the most important and painful turning point of his life.
As he walks home from school, feeling depressed, a sheet of white paper suddenly flies at him and smacks him in the face.
He is about to throw the useless scrap away.
But black writing slowly appears on the page:
"Don't throw me away QAQ"
Shimizu Shinichi stares at the sentence for a long time.
Then he pulls a pen from his little schoolbag and adds a period after the QAQ.
Shimizu Shinichi: "You're not precise."
Before long, Shimizu Shinichi and the sheet of paper, who calls itself "Page," become each other's best friends.
According to Page, it comes from another world and is part of that world's source of power. It has the power to connect different worlds.
Ever since meeting Shimizu Shinichi, Page has been happy every day. But one thing has always bothered it:
People on the high-dimensional world's Little Death God forum keep saying that its well-behaved, clever, friendly, and considerate Shinichi is a little psycho. So every day, Page passionately argues with them on the forum, becoming a famously rabid solo fan of Shimizu Shinichi.
Everyone calls it "Mr. Precise," because it carefully adds punctuation to every sentence.
"Shinichi caring about his friends is so cute wwwww."
Forum user: OP, don't be fooled by appearances! It's all an act!
"I was reading manga in the middle of the night and Shimizu Shinichi scared me so badly I can't sleep. Who gets it? He's terrifying."
Ruffled Page: How is he terrifying! Look at that gentle face, look at that sincere gaze, and tell me what's terrifying!
"Why does Smith Washing Machine always carry a sheet of white paper?"
0L: Whenever anyone asks, he says it's his best friend. So weird.
Page is secretly pleased with itself.
1L: Someone already did a deep dive on this. See: "Theory: Shimizu Shinichi has multiple personalities and talks to his second personality using a sheet of paper."
Page: !!!
Its heart has been utterly crushed by the Little Death God forum.
"Am I seeing this right? A crossover? Someone from a science-based world being sent to a supernatural dog world?"
4L: Honestly, I'd be worried if anyone else got sent over, but Smith Washing Machine will be fine. :)
9L: After all, he's the kind of person who can plan a case like that, single-handedly splitting the Black Organization into two factions: the liquor distillery and himself.
17L: I feel like... the side being crossed over to might be the one in danger...
21L: Is that old bastard sending him over to wreck the place?
Meanwhile, the members of the Detective Agency and the Port Mafia stare in confusion at a forum that has suddenly appeared on their phones and cannot be deleted.
What are the science-based world and the dog world?
What does a crossover mean?
And what is Smith Washing Machine?
...Who's coming to wreck the place?
Please note!!!
* Page first appears in Chapter Five.
* The protagonist is a grudge-holding, fake-white-lotus psycho with an unusual thought process and a captivating, crowd-pleasing personality. He is obsessive, skilled at reading people, and naturally has bipolar disorder. His episodes are depicted fairly frequently.
* Mental illness themes and dark, toxic content ahead!!!
If you have symptoms similar to the protagonist's and identify strongly with most of the depictions of his episodes, please get checked out at a hospital, seek help from a doctor, and take medication as prescribed.
* The blurb has been revised. To see the original, please check beneath the blurb for Yokohama Staffer Wants to Go on Strike next door.
* I'm getting back into writing. Updates every two or three days, usually 2,000+ or 3,000+ words each time. (The strange two-three rule has appeared!)
* If you can, please leave comments, click, and bookmark! The more the merrier (sparkly eyes)!

It's almost August and the last update was two months ago. Sorry to keep you all waiting for so long. The reason why there has been no update for two months is of course—— I want to solve v and update it for free. Since there is no guarantee of stable updates, it is better to turn "work" into a "hobby" and purely experience the joy of writing. Whenever I start writing a new chapter, I always panic and stop writing. What if my writing isn't perfect? They spent time, energy and money waiting for me, and I had to respond to this expectation... So Chapter V became a pressure, so I couldn't write anything. All developments are not interesting enough, reasonable enough, novel enough, and interesting enough. Perhaps leaving profit behind could free me from panic and anxiety. Thank you for still waiting for me ❤️
Hey hey hey I'm back! I will briefly revise the previous article first, and then start to update [Cat's Claw]. I found some typos when I reviewed it before, and I was worried that it would affect the solution of v, so I didn't change it. A small number of words and sentences may be added/modified during the revision process. The purpose is to improve the characters and plot, and will not affect the original plot line. The original part will remain in the text.
I just flipped through the corner of the bookshelf and found 😭 😭 Teacher, what happened to you after I haven't seen you for a few months? I'm still thinking about automatically subscribing to save me food 😭 😭 😭 😭
Twisted and sincere love 🐰 Delicious
Sick mother, but love indeed.
Mom's hobbies are twisted I saw an update on my birthday, great!
The sky is falling, teacher, how do you solve v? 😭
Shinichi is really a nice, cute boy. He hates humans, right? It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you always pretend to be someone. It doesn't matter if you have mental illness. Being able to live is a matter of being brave and strong. Because you have to decide what you like and hate. You have to love yourself. It doesn't matter whether you want to kill or save anyone. Whatever you want to love or hate, you have to learn from yourself. It's great to be a twisted and pathological bad boy who manipulates human nature. It's great to not take the initiative to harm others outside of the mission. Because of me, because readers like the child in the story, it has nothing to do with him or the author, it just feels cute because he resonates with it. I love every protagonist I read. I said a bunch of inappropriate things, but I edited it twice before posting it, because it's rare to see such a real and gentle story about a protagonist with a mental illness, and I felt a tightness in my chest. Because I love it, it's okay to feel uncomfortable. This concept is what I have always insisted on. From the time I was born to the age of 12, I emphasized the fear of dying due to congenital heart disease. I really stayed up all night to say what I said, but I still hope that every companion who is sick in his heart can emphasize like this: "Because you still love yourself, because you are still trying to love others, so persisting in living is a very brave thing." Even though I say this, "You have to love yourself even if you are not loved, so it doesn't matter how bad the outside world is." This is what I taught myself.
What does mom think of Shinichi? A unique experimental subject, a personal work of art, a son, or what?
It's quite scary. I'm curious if any relatives or friends on my mother's side are still alive.
