Sawada Tsunayoshi, male, 24 years old. A mature and dependable adult man...
Yeah, right.
No car, no savings, and all his friends came from falling over (?).
People cross the road, corpses lie at their feet.
As a burned-out office worker who had lost all his dreams, Sawada Tsunayoshi thought it was genuinely embarrassing that he could trip on flat ground even on his way home.
His goal was to live a peaceful life as an office worker in Tokyo, where bombs flew everywhere and everyone was a potential murderer, until he got fired or retired.
His life carried on in orderly fashion.
That is, until one day after work, when someone tripped and fell to the ground again, and an Italian man in a black fedora appeared on the little road leading to his home.
.
Let's introduce him again: Sawada Tsunayoshi, male, 24 years old, a mature but unreliable adult man.
He is now about to become the head of a seafood family for no apparent reason.
Seriously, this family is putting an office worker in charge. Is it doomed?
Oh, so it really is doomed.
Damn it.
.
That night, he sat across from his freshly appointed home tutor at the dining table.
"...Is there any chance, sir, that I'm 24 years old, already past the age to be the protagonist of a shonen manga?"
I'm already a dried-up salted fish who has lost both his youthful spirit and his dreams. Is this really going to be okay?!!
The killer, who stood well over six feet tall, raised an eyebrow.
"Of course it will. You can always choose to take a trip to the River Sanzu."
The young man fell silent.
"...I mean, I could apply to be the protagonist of a seinen manga."
Let this world be destroyed.
How am I, a mere office worker, supposed to stay sane?
.
Back in his room, with the door locked, Sawada Tsunayoshi leaned against the wall and shakily took out his phone. He called the contacts one by one.
"Hey, Jinpei, if I went and joined the yakuza, would you come arrest me?"
Sawada Tsunayoshi was crying his eyes out on one end of the call, while the curly-haired police officer on the other end had a throbbing vein in his forehead.
"Huh? Sawada Tsunayoshi, what are you freaking out about now?"
Sawada Tsunayoshi, an ordinary office worker. His special skill was probably that whenever he tripped on flat ground, a chosen friend would always be there to lend a hand.
