Can a Cold-Faced, Cute Fishing Enthusiast Become Everyone's Favorite?

Recommending two upcoming novels: ★ Only People Who Wear Nikes Deserve to Be My Boss ★ A Hopeless Romantic Could Never Get a Bad Ending Blurb: 001 is an NPC in a comic-book world. Likes: fishing. Appearance: mosaic. Presence: zero. Gender: female (?) As a shared background laborer working as a school counselor at Namimori Middle School, an agent at Teiko, a tennis coach at Rikkaidai, a cook for the Zoldyck family, a security guard at the police academy, an ordinary Uchiha patient, a maid in the Zenin household, a janitor at the liquor company, and so on, their daily life is incredibly... ordinary. Complete tasks, earn points, go fishing... And carefully avoid the protagonists with actual faces, like something out of a rules-based horror story. This is very easy, too: ★ Remember, only protagonists have faces. Everyone else with a mosaic face is one of your kind. ★ Whenever a giant camera appears in the sky, the story begins and on-screen comments start playing automatically. ★ The protagonists will behave in all sorts of bizarre ways that defy Newtonian physics, anthropology, sociology, and psychology. NPCs must act as if they don’t notice. ★ But watch out: if you do anything that an NPC wouldn’t, you’ll be erased immediately. In short, as long as you avoid the giant camera and keep up your background-character act, you can live forever, practically staying young for eternity. Ten years after awakening, 001 wrote a thick survival manual based on experience. It was widely circulated among NPCs, but unfortunately, everyone was a mosaic, so no one knew who anyone else was. Then one day, 001 skipped work to go fishing. Wearing a sun hat, they were locked in a fierce battle with a giant shark off the coast of Hokkaido when the camera that had been filming the superpowered protagonist’s laid-back life suddenly turned on them! The comments stopped for a few seconds, then started flooding the screen 【What’s this new anime? I got reincarnated and became a fishing fanatic?】 【Is the protagonist a man or a woman? I can’t tell】 【Why would fishing catch a megalodon?! Aaaaaah, it looks terrifying】 【It’s a hot-blooded anime, right? I hear a rousing bass line!】 【This looks kinda interesting. Added to my watchlist】 After punching the megalodon into a crispy shark, 001 looked up and saw a mosaic face on the screen... Wait, which NPC had become the protagonist of this season’s anime?! Which desperate, unscrupulous manga artist had turned them into the protagonist?! The new Jump manga by Konnyaku-sensei, How I, a Fishing Fanatic, Became the Strongest in the World, is now on sale! In collaboration with multiple manga series, it’s a brand-new epic that combines romance, power-ups, and fishing! For the much-anticipated romance plot of the “Fishing Fanatic,” Konnyaku-sensei has lined up a hundred high-quality male love interests. Unfortunately, none of them get together with the “Fishing Fanatic.” Instead, they turn themselves into little fish in her pond. Readers exclaimed, “Now that’s a real ‘Fishing Fanatic’!” In this manga, you’ll see: ☆ The money-grubbing eldest brother from a family of cold-blooded assassins threatening the Fishing Fanatic with a needle. The Fishing Fanatic offers him a bunch of bait. Money-grubber: Not enough. You have more. ☆ An adorable bunny boy who rose from being a good-for-nothing to become a Mafia boss is being bullied by his classmates. The Fishing Fanatic rushes to help, then turns and walks away. Bunny Boy: Huh? Wait, what? ☆ A narrow-eyed fox who turned evil when justice clashed with reality is defecting. The Fishing Fanatic passes by a village massacre and pretends to be a corpse. Narrow-Eyed Fox: ...Could you put your fishing rod away? ☆ A dark-skinned athlete, struck by a chuunibyou fit and convinced he’s the god of basketball, is skipping training. The Fishing Fanatic catches a big fish, and the fish knocks the athlete unconscious, leaving him with amnesia. Dark-Skinned Athlete: Do it for me! ☆ During a gang war between the Port Mafia, the heartless boss is about to sacrifice one of the company’s best body-disposal employees to the heavens, while the Fishing Fanatic is eating curry rice. The Fishing Fanatic chokes on the super-spicy curry. Curry Rice: Not happy. Countless romance plots are cut short, and the Fishing Fanatic eventually becomes the strongest in the world. In short, the Fishing Fanatic only wants to fish, not fall in love. 【★Reading tips★】 ☆ A one-sided harem crushes on the protagonist. The main story has a fixed pairing, while the bonus stories offer different endings in alternate routes. ☆ An eccentric, emotionless protagonist (whose face is still a mosaic). ☆ Lots of RPG elements and fourth-wall breaks. ☆ A lighthearted, ridiculous story that torments every innocent protagonist. ☆ Due to circumstances beyond their control, the male love interests will approach the Fishing Fanatic of their own accord and fall for her at lightning speed. 【Blurb screenshotted and saved on 2025.8.1】 Theme: Work makes me happy
